Shawn was an avid hunter and motorcycle enthusiast. He took great pride in his beard and enjoyed the compliments as long as you didn't touch it. He enjoyed having a good time with family and friends. He loved to pick on his nieces and any new boyfriends. He talked about his daughter any chance he could get, about how much he loved her and how proud he was of her.

Brother-Kelly McKnight of Elkton. Sister-Tena Brier of Pigeon. Niece-Shiya McKnight of Pigeon. Shawn was preceded in death by: Mother-Beverly McKnight of Bad Axe. Brother- Rex McKnight of Bad Axe.
