I met Shea through my late fiancé Chris (they were roommates for several years).  Shea was always warm and welcoming to me.  When Chris passed, Shea was kind, caring, and compassionate.   He wore his heart on his sleeve and he truly will be missed by all of his friends.

My sincerest condolences to his family.

Shea, you were a wild and wonderful person. I always loved the engaging conversations we had. It was a pleasure getting to know you at Carleton and in the years since. I'm glad that you were able to make it to my wedding... even though you didn't RSVP (I still laugh about that).

We're sad that you are gone so suddenly and so young. You will be missed. I look forward to celebrating your life in the near future.

Message from Mike Beaudoin2020-10-23 11:28:37

I went to Carleton with Shea and never expected to hear this. I'll always remember the times we had in university - study and classes, to skipping studying and classes. We probably both contributed to each of us taking 5 years to get our rings. 

Always made days better, even if this one is hardest.

Shea was the guy who was always there for the big gatherings - the birthdays, the weddings, the Christmas parties - and he always brought the party. It’s incredibly hard to believe that he won’t be there at whatever the next milestone event is. We will miss his warm smile, his jokes, his hugs, his engaging conversations, and of course his epic dance moves. Sending love and support to his family as they deal with this tragic loss.

There are no adequate words to express the great loss to this world. Shea was an incredible friend over the years, and such a firecracker to be around. I have so many cherished memories from our time at Carleton, and for a good decade following in Toronto. In recent years, I'd hear from him the most on Sunday's...where he'd chirp Aaron Rodgers and my beloved Green Bay Packers. I really missed those messages yesterday, and will continue to miss them in the days and years to come... 

My deepest condolences to the Hamilton family, my heart is sending you all the love and light possible. I know I speak for many when I say Shea has a HUGE network of friends who will be eager to celebrate him when you are ready. 

With Love and Hugs,

Shannon Harrower (McLaughlin)
