OBITUARY
Shawn Craig Franklin
December 30, 1974 – November 12, 2020
IN THE CARE OF
Little & Sons Funeral Home
Unfortunately, we must announce the passing of our Son, Husband, and Dad Thursday, November 12, 2020. Shawn was a very unique individual with an incredible outgoing personality with such myriad of personal and career accomplishments in his life that is impressive.
From Southport High School "Best All Around Athlete", a four-year Multisport Letterman, as well as setting his school's record as their football kicker. He even worked with the NBA as a ball boy for the Indiana Pacers. He loved sports and excelled with each one he played. He shared his love of sports with kids and coached for several youth sports activities. Golf ended up being his favorite
and he played every opportunity he could.
His resume is as diverse and his personality was. He loved working with others, especially as a Business Account Manager placing hundreds of people into jobs in multiple industries.
We often hear the expression "burning the candle at both ends". This particularly applied to Shawn. He was unstoppable in his lust for living his life at full speed ahead. Shawn charged into challenges including facing the highs and lows of life with an unbelievable attitude. He had the humor and spirit of a very special competitive athlete.
Shawn never stopped charging into his game of life and resolving those challenges he encountered.
When one burns the candle at both ends, they are living at a frantic pace. So, when it is burning at both ends the flame goes out sooner and the candle only lasts half the time. So, it was with Shawn, his candle burnt out too soon. We shall all miss his humor and spirited laughter and contagious smile that always made us feel better when we were around him.
As Shawn would always say "Stay Positive"!
With Love - Chris and Julie
