    Thank you, Shawn. Thank you for loving this game more than we fans do. Thank you for what you brought to an organization and league we all care about. Thank you for your dignity and spark. Though I never met you and never saw you play in person, I am truly touched.

    Rest in Peace, Shawn. I'm sure the Lord had bigger plans for you.

    And thank you for being such a wonderful example of how human beings should behave/act while on this earth. You were / are an inspiration and I will be sure to share the well-written USA Today Sports article with my sons, family and friends.

    Three relevamt Youtube videos regarding this amazing soul:

    1.) Fox Tribute to Shawn:



    2.) First few minutes of playing time with DC United:



    3.) Endless Mercy:

    Great move from the league.

    I hadn't heard about Frank Lampard's contributions before either. I think I actually like Chelsea a bit now. sorta.
