The music community and countless friends are mourning the loss of Shawn Fernandez, a beloved musician and unforgettable personality, who has passed away.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Shawn was known not only for his musical talent but also for his humor, energy, and ability to brighten the lives of those around him. Friends describe him as “a crazy character, funny as hell, and an awesome musician” whose presence brought joy and laughter wherever he went.
One longtime friend, recalling when they first met at Ron Feldman’s birthday party in the early 1980s, shared an emotional tribute: “I loved Shawn. He was one of a kind — hilarious, wild, and incredibly talented. I will miss him a lot. He connected with me nearly every day through Facebook posts and pictures, and it won’t be the same without him. Shawn, my brother, you will be forever missed.”
Over the years, Shawn built strong bonds within his community, not only as a performer but as a loyal friend who made others feel seen and supported. His ability to connect with people, whether through music, conversation, or humor, left a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to know him.
While the news of his passing has left many without words, the outpouring of grief online shows just how deeply Shawn’s life touched others. Friends, fellow musicians, and loved ones have been sharing memories, laughter, and tears as they reflect on his legacy.
As one mourner put it, “It’s hard to imagine not hearing from Shawn every day. He will always be part of our lives, and his spirit will live on through the music, the memories, and the laughter he gave us.”
Funeral or memorial arrangements have not yet been publicly announced, but friends and family say Shawn’s life and music will continue to be celebrated by all who knew him.
May he rest in peace.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all during this time. May the Angels comfort and give strength during the coming days and weeks. He is going to be missed byany and he left an impression on us all. Class of 79 was great because he was there with us to share in those years.
