Advice To All Drivers: If you find that you are wasted, drunk or doped up on street drugs or prescription drugs or if you are falling asleep on your feet, do NOT drive. Call a family member or a friend for a ride; or take a taxi; or stay where you are until you sober up; or crawl home on your hands and knees. It will be better for you and for the world if you do.

Regret can last a lifetime.

Shaun is survived by many loving relatives including his mother, Sylvia; his father, Craig; and his wife, Sandra.

Pray for justice for Shaun.

God save us from the drunk and the doped up drivers. They are killing us, Father.
