Shawn Michael McBroom
February 22, 1972 - November 6, 2024
Shawn Michael McBroom, a cherished family man and friend passed away peacefully on November 6, 2024, in Channelview, Texas. Born in Houston, Texas, on February 22, 1972, Shawn's warmth and humor brought joy to all who knew him throughout his 52 years of life.
Shawn was the beloved son of Charles and Theresa McMichael, who nurtured his kind and playful spirit. After marrying Katrina Brewer McBroom, together they blended their families that included his proud son, Jacob McBroom and his wife Stephanie, as well as his step-daughters, Dana (Scritchfield) Sands and her husband Zack, and Abbie Brewer. He was a devoted brother to Jennifer Fingleman and her husband Allen. Shawn's legacy of love continues through his cherished grandchildren, Rose Elaine and Daisy Violet, and step-grandchildren, James Sallee and Lillian Wilson. His nieces Kayla Fingleman and Bailey Fingleman, along with great-nephews Oliver Jayce Rodriguez and Travis Allen Huston, and great-niece Raelei Kae Huston, will carry fond memories of their uncle's humor and guidance.
Shawn was preceded in death by his grandparents, Cecil and Doris McBroom, and his uncle, Cecil H. McBroom. They have now welcomed him with open arms into eternal peace.
A proud graduate of Channelview High School in 1990, Shawn's journey of lifelong learning and personal growth never waned. After high school, he began his career as a bartender, where his quick wit and personable nature made him a favorite among patrons. Shawn's work ethic and dedication led him to a fulfilling career with Westway, where he served as an Operator for over 20 years. His colleagues remember him as a reliable and hardworking individual who brought both professionalism and levity to the workplace.
Shawn's intelligence and humor were matched by his diverse interests. An avid player of Dungeons and Dragons, he brought creativity and strategic thinking to every campaign. His passion for gaming extended to the virtual realms of God of War, where he embarked on epic quests and adventures. Shawn's love for darts was well-known, and he could often be found at the oche, throwing precise shots and sharing laughs with friends. An avid reader, he was always ready to explore new worlds through the pages of a book or to entertain others with a well-timed joke.
Those who knew Shawn will remember him as a smart, funny, and intelligent man-a great son, brother, father, and grandfather. His presence was a source of stability and joy in the lives of his family and friends. His absence will be deeply felt, but his spirit will continue to inspire and guide those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
Shawn's life was a testament to the power of love, laughter, and dedication. His impact on the world was as profound as it was gentle, and he will be greatly missed by the numerous family members, friends, and colleagues whose lives he touched. We celebrate the memories of Shawn and the enduring love he shared with us all. His story does not end here, for it lives on in the hearts of those he loved and in the countless moments of joy and kindness he bestowed upon the world.
