Shawn Yatckoske

Shawn and I grew up together in Aurora just a a couple blocks away from each other. Our friendship going back to when went to North middle school together, same class and same circle of friends. I gotta say Shawn clicked because we were both raised by our grandparents and shared alot of the same old school values. I believe that's something that made us good friends during or high school years as well. Although he didn't go by Shawn in high school, he went by Chince, a nick name he got from his neighborhood friends. LOL. All the good times we had, I remember like it was yesterday because we used to spend alot time in deep conversation, listening to tunes, hitting parties, blending in with everyone. Shawn was good at blending, he was friends with everyone, knew someone where ever he went. He vibed with everyone, cool, funny at true to his word. I could honestly say he was one of my best friends growing up. I could share memories and talk for hours about the times we shared the conversations we had and the crazy fun we had growing up in A town. I'm thankfull that we stayed friends for many years thirty six to be exact. Shawn moved a couple times but we always seemed to cross paths when he came back. I'll miss that genuine smile and hug we always gave each other after years of not seeing other, no matter where it was. Catching up and of course going down memory lane that thirty six years of life has to offer. I gotta say it felt like we never missed a beat when we crossed paths, a joke from the past, a gesture that brought back good memories from way back in the day. What ever memories came back? I can say being in the moment was always real. It was true gift he had and shared with many, that's what I'll miss the most. Rest easy Chince!
