Shawn K. Siemens, 36, passed away on July 1, 2008 at the Kalispell Regional Medical Center in Kalispell, Montana. He was born on September 18, 1971 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Shawn was an amazing man and Bridgett's very best friend. He was a loving father and wonderful husband. His kindness, consideration and devotion to his family were evident to all who knew him. He was known to be a man who would drop anything to help another in need.

He was a highly intelligent, resourceful, supercharged and he worked very hard to provide for his family but also toward the goal to have the resources to help others. A quick-witted "goofball" who, in his son's words, was excitingly funny, and loved the water and anything with a motor or spring. He was and will always remain a hero to his family.

Shawn met and married Bridgett A. Schaff on September 20, 1997 in Kalispell MT; together they have a wonderful son, Jordan, who is the image of his father. He was a military man, serving in the U.S Navy as a special maneuvers expert. He adventured on the Alaska fishing boats later becoming an ASE Certified Master Tech managing Anything Automotive, a local Kalispell business, as well as working in his own home business, Siemens Auto Start.

Siemens and son Jordan Siemens of Kalispell; parents, Pat & Gloria Jacobs of Columbia Falls; sister Corrina & brother-in-law Shawn Parmelee of Kalispell; two half brothers, Greg & Chris Siemens; Grandma Edna and Great Grandmother Doris; father and mother-in-law Jim & Cely Schaff; sister and brother-in-law Christy and Kevin Richardson; five nieces and one nephew.
