Shawn was born in St. Albans, Vermont on September 18th, 1966. He was the son of Cynthia Reynolds and Dana Gordon Robitille. Shawn enjoyed playing his guitars and drawing. Above all else, he enjoyed spending time, and pulling pranks on his family and friends. Shawn had a gift of being able to make jokes of just about anything – this included some dark humor. Shawn worked as a cook for a large part of his life, most recently at the Northside Diner before his illness put him out of work. He had various other jobs in his younger years including farm work and plumbing. Shawn was a very talented home-musician, and really rocked on the guitar.

Robitille Jr., Cody Robitille, and Dallas Robitille; his daughters: Alexis LaFex, and Lola Robitille; his mother Cynthia (Reynolds) Lawson; many half-brothers and half-sisters; and his grandchildren: Taylor, Kaydince, Ayla, Sadi, Lelouch, Dryzztn, Samuel, Mila, and Mackenzie.
