Shawn Patrick Kennedy, age 54, passed away on Wednesday, February 7th, 2024, at his home in Aubrey, Texas. Shawn was born on March 22nd, 1969, in Miners Memorial Hospital, Coaldale, PA to Edward Michael Kennedy and Patricia Jean Haggerty. Shawn was raised in Tamaqua, PA and attended school there until 7th grade at which time he moved to Whitehall, PA and graduated from Whitehall High School. Shawn was a Cub Scout and played Knee High Football. Shawn was the second oldest and has 4 brothers: Ed, Michael, Brett and Doug.

Shawn met and married Hayley Prins in Cape Town, South Africa in 1996 and together they moved to Roxboro, NC in the United States. After a short spell in Roxboro, NC, they moved to Santa Clara, CA so Shawn could pursue his career in computer science. Shawn was happiest when he was surrounded by an abundance of technology and Silicone Valley, California provided the perfect place for him to thrive. By 2001 he was ready to venture out on his own and founded his own company in Mansfield, TX. The company flourished and in 2004, Shawn and Hayley welcomed their firstborn, a son, Jordan. Two years later they were blessed with a daughter, Tyler.

Shawn loved to travel, loved his Steelers and Phillies and he rarely missed an opportunity to see them play. He loved fine wine and good music, especially a good concert. Shawn was also an avid sports and music memorabilia collector.

Shawn is survived by his son Jordan, his daughter Tyler, his father Edward, his stepmom Vicki, his brothers Ed, Michael, Brett and Doug and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Shawn was preceded in death by his mother Patricia with whom he was very close.
