I am heartbroken to hear of Shawn's passing. He was my massage therapist for several years, and he was always able to fix what was wrong. He shared his music with me, and I loved every note. He was sweet, funny, talented, and the hardest worker I've met in a long time. I will forever mourn the loss of all he could have contributed.
I have cried the last few times I went to Massage Envy. Shawn's spirit permeates the place. Each time I lie on the table and close my eyes I hear his voice talking about NNVC, his band, his love life and his sister. He was a very special person and will be missed for months and years, even by those who were merely his clients.
It has taken me forever to write because I was in complete shock. I didn't know Shawn for very long, but the time I did know him was wonderful and I got to know him very closely. He will never be forgotten. If anyone has anymore information I would really appreciate it, for closure. [email protected]
Ever have certain song that just takes you back in time? Today I had one come on at a restaurant, it took me back to my first school dance. Savage Garden, Truly Madly Deeply came on the speaker and Shawn Dake asked me to dance with him. That song use to bring a smile to my face because it was a good memory. Today it brought a tear to my eye because that sweet memory now reminds me that you are gone. It's crazy how life turns out, but no matter what, the memories remain. I hope to see you again someday friend. - Amanda
Shawn was like my best friend. I just recently found out that he passed away and it breaks my heart. He was so full of life and had such a great spirit. He had his own kind of sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. I'll never forget all of the good times we shared. He'll forever be in my heart.
Just found out about Shawn's death....and I am stunned and so sad. He was beautiful, brilliant, and bold. I was lucky enough to have been a client of his at Massage Envy. He was a truly gifted massage therapist and a wonderful human being who will be missed. He spoke so fondly of his family especially his mother and sister. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.
He was smart. He was silly. He was serious. He was intense. He was caring. He was sarcastic. He was creative. He was down-to-earth. He was wiser than his years. He was young for his age. He was a wonderful bundle of contradictions and one of the best young men I have know. My thoughts are with his family and friends. Words are not enough to describe my sadness. Shawn, you will truly be missed.
