Shawn Phillip Thomas (Budha) Bristow passed away suddenly on July 25, 2021, at the age of 24. He was a heavy equipment operator at Republic Services, and a cook at Portside Grill.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Kristina Bristow.
He is survived by his parents, Preston and Donna Bristow; four brothers, Michael Bristow, Zackary Bristow (Stacey), Kaleb Bristow (Caroline), and Jeffrey Bristow; a sister, Elizabeth Bristow; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and friends.
Shawn loved nature, hunting, fishing, and his passions were operating equipment and cooking.
He loved deeply and was a big part of so many people’s lives. He was a protector of many and would help anyone day or night. He had an unmatched work ethic all of his life, and loved to have a good time.
