Shawn passed away Wednesday, May 19, 2010 in Tulsa at the age of 45.

The son of George and Marilyn Dennis King-Peterman was born December 15, 1964 in Claremore. As a young boy he attended Westside Elementary in Claremore. He and his family later moved to Tulsa. There he attended Union Schools, where he played football, and was a member of the graduating class of 1983. After graduation he enrolled in trade school, but never left his after school job at ACME Plumbing. For 27 years Shawn has worked at ACME helping dispatch drivers, and keep the warehouse full of parts. In his spare time, Shawn could be found watching or reading about sports. He could quote statistics of many sports, but was an expert when it came to NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt and St. Louis Rams football. He even scheduled his vacation around the NFL draft so he could stay updated on his favorite team.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents; Gene Dennis and Charles and Peggy King.
