Light a Candle
**Always loved, never forgotten** It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved brother, son, friend, and father, Shawn Ryan Norman, 31, took his own life on Monday, April 11th in Garden City, MI. He is remembered for his humor, his generosity, his shy, loving smile, his innate desire to protect and defend others, and so many other cherished qualities. He will be truly missed by all who knew him and we are heartbroken to share this news. A memorial will be held at the Pavilion at Raintree Park on Saturday, May 14th, from 10am-2pm. We plan to celebrate his life and share our fondest memories over one of his favorite meals – hot dogs and beer. There will be an opportunity between 11:30am-12:30pm for those closest to him who wish to speak about Shawn and his impact on those around him. Shawn was born in Royal Oak, MI to Kim and Randy Norman on March 5th, 1991. He went to high school at Troy Athens High and graduated in 2009. He went on to work security in the hospitality industry. Shawn loved… Shawn is survived by his parents, Randy and Kim, his siblings, Lyndsey, Kyle, and Samantha, his three children, Riley, Jo, and Delta, and his dogs, Hercules and Zeus.
