Dawn, Im sorry for the loss of your friend. My cousin Scott Smith was murdered on 1-1-2008 by Lisa's Cabaret shot 7 times over a bad weed deal. So i came to topix to pay my respects and found your blog. Hope you are happy and well.

Thank you for the support...it is so nice to see that there are people in the world who know what it is to lose someone and respect how people may be feeling....As for me, I am dealing the best I can...it is Shawn's family I worry about every night, most of all his two little girls...and his mom, who is a wonderful person who in no way deserved this heartbreak.

Dearest George, The most important thing in life is who you are, not what you do. I feel sad for you.

Dearest Dawn, the most important thing in life is not being a lying, hypocritical, deadbeat food stamp cheat.

Using Shawn's death for your drama queen attention getting bs is disgusting. I feel sad for YOU.

RIP Shawn

why do people have to be so mean and kick a guy when hes down??? WTF is wrong with you people? Shawn loved to ride his bike.. and ultimatly it took his life. But none the less, he LOVED it. I have known Shawn for a little over a year.. and I seen and knew a side of him that im sure not a lot of people knew.. only those who were very close to him knew it. He loved his girls.. they were everything to him. they now have to grow up without their dad, and that is sad. he was a compassionate and caring person. if you didnt know him, who are you to judge him?? no one is perfect.. NO ONE. let him rest in peace for god sake!!

shawn.. you will be greatly missed!! you had many people in your life that loved you.. those people knew the real you and that is all that matters.. i love you and always will!!

you all need to get a grip....so what if this guy enjoyed riding bicycles, who cares whether he took care of his kids or not....he is dead and nothing will change that.... to his friends and family, you don't need to defend him...why are you even posting in these forums? You should be grieving not inciting people.

Come on. Inciting people is what forums are all about.

I do supose that it is pretty silly of me to respond to comments from people who I would never in my life converse with..but I log on to this forum to read the positive comments, and I see all the negitive ones...it is only human nature to want to defend someone you loved. As for the person who posted that I am a 'drama queen who wants attention'...all I can say is I just want people to know how good of a person Shawn really was, it has nothing to do with me.

Maybe some of those people you would never converse with could make you a happy person again.... I will never understand you but i will always love you as my childhood friend. Hopefully you are stronger than the pain and move forward like i did.

This is not the time or place I know but I've got to say this: First of all, you have no business even commenting on anything here, much less bashing people for their comments and starting things. Shawn got rid of your lying, stalking azz years ago. And now you think you're better than anyone here? And this coming from a fat hilljack who can't hold a job and is ripping off welfare? Yes, pathetic drama queen, Shawn would laugh out loud at your "you can see the pain in my eyes" comment. Please! Just stop with running your mouth to anyone here and elsewhere because this tragedy is NOT all about how it's effecting YOU.

No one wants or needs you to defend anything. Get a clue - it's people like you who are making this tragedy worse.

Wow...You have a lot of hatred for me. I don't know who you are or why you would attack me in such a way...but no matter....I just want to set the record straight. I have a very good job at a hospital. Brfore that I worked for the same place for two years...I loved it but there was no health insurance. As for me being a "hilljack", I grew up in Copley, which is far from a trashy place..it is in fact a nice little town with a wonderful, above average school system. As for Shawn and I- I know what happened between us, and you don't. Things between us were very good in the last few months...we were friends...and I am glad we were able to be close again. As for the stalking thing...that's just silly...there was never any kind of drama surrounding our break-up. The most important thing I would like to point out is that you made this about me...you really have. You must have something against me, and if you want to talk about it my personal e-mail is dmswiger@hotmail.com...feel free to contact me personally anytime. Don't bother responding on here, I will not look at this again...Oh, hell...trash me some more if it makes you feel better...I don't care. Best wishes to you and yours.

R.I.P. Shawn. my thoughts and prayers go out to ur family shawn, especially ur lil girls. the park is a BMX park so yea - bikes are allowed there. he is my ex & a good man & father. i pickd him up from his mas afta his hernia surgery and nursed him. he didnt let that slow him down. he lived his life 2 the fullest & i respect that. what makes an unecessary way to die? how do u judge that? u neva think ur gona die doin anythin you do in any given day. is doin something u love unecessary??? why should he ever give up his passion? he did sing, play guitar, worked and did the best he could 2 put his life back together after his accident last sept. in the moments b4 he died, he was feeling great, happy & free and i can only hope 2 die in a world of happiness like he did...doing a passion of mine. i am a very extreme person and hav always told my family if i die doin something like that - at the height of excitement in my life - know i was happy...not suffering from illness or battling cancer or soemthing horrible. i can only hope i can continue riding bikes til i die and even do it wit my grand children one day. there is no age limit 4 passion in a life. u like leavin cold harsh comments, he liked bein active and livin to the fullest. KUDOS to SHAWN STEINMETZ and shame on you.
