Obituary of Shawn Arthur Thomas MANLEY

March 29, 1977 – Halifax, Nova Scotia July 28, 2017 – Calgary, Alberta It is with very heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, brother and friend Shawn Manley. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia he moved with his family to Calgary in 1981. Shawn spent his grade-school years in Calgary, graduating from Bishop Grandin High School in 1995. He went on to obtain a Chemical Engineering Technology diploma at SAIT, and his Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Chemistry from the University of Calgary. Through his work as an analytical chemist, or while competing in races, traveling the world, volunteering for numerous festivals and events and charity work, Shawn touched many lives and made many friends. Chelsea FC has lost one of their ardent supporters and his dad Stephen has lost his soccer buddy. He shared with them a love of travel, music, good food, animals and all things outdoors. No one who knew him will forget his kindness, intelligence, dry sense of humor or the dedication to those he cared for. Shawn is survived by his parents, Elizabeth and Stephen Manley; his sister, Tara Shomody (Shawn); his nephews, Elias and Marcus; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and his two cats Earl and Piko. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Tom and Marguerite Elliott and Arthur and Connie Manley. “He was a man, take him for all and all, I shall not look upon his like again.” Rest in Peace Son.
