He was known for his big heart and unwavering generosity.  He touched the lives of many with his kindness, honesty, and boundless willingness to help others.  He was a believer in giving people “second chances”.

A true people person, Shawn had a rare gift for making others feel seen and valued.

He believed in giving more than he took and led his life by example, with integrity and grace.

He later went on to earn his MBA from Texas A&M University-Commerce. His career in the oil and gas industry was marked by innovation and leadership, and he earned the respect of peers across the engineering field.

Beyond his professional life, Shawn found joy in life’s simple pleasures, especially golf and cooking. Whether on the course or in the kitchen, he poured his passion into what he loved, often sharing those moments with family and friends.

Shawn is survived by his loving wife, Alicia Stroman; children: Cole and Savannah Stroman; Father, David Paul Stroman; mother, Shirley Ann Latham, step-father, Jim Latham; brother, Brian Stroman, and wife, Silvia;  mother-in-law, Christy Wall; several aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives, and friends.

Shawn’s legacy is one of love, generosity, and heartfelt connection. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
