Remaining to forever cherish Shaun's memory are his parents, Pat and Lenard; sister Sharlene (Cory) Will; brother Sheldon and Baba Vera Chapko; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Shaun will always be remembered for his thoughtful and caring ways. He had a heart of gold and was known as a people person. He was a devoted son and brother, who enjoyed spending time with family and friends. After Shaun graduated from Transcona Collegiate Institute, he continued his University studies throughout the years in the areas of Political Science, Business and Human Resources. He earned various certificates and diplomas. As a teenager and young adult, Shaun was employed with the City of Winnipeg as a rink attendant and skating instructor as well as a baseball umpire. He went on to be employed with CN Rail. Due to an accident, he returned to the City of Winnipeg with the Corporate Services Department. His fellow co-workers were very supportive of Shaun in his daily living and in continuing with his education. Shaun was currently an active volunteer with the United Steel Workers Union and held the position of Vice President for the Press Association, District 3, LU 2004. Through out the different years, Shaun played hockey, baseball, golf, went to the gym, fishing, reading and enjoyed going out for lunch. Additionally he spent many hours on the computer keeping in contact with family, friends and union members and helping others with computer problems. Another past time was taking his four legged buddy Murphy for early morning walks. Shaun also loved being the big brother.
