It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Shawn Eugene Pickler, Sr. He was the third of six children born to Eugene Bennett, and Marcia Eloise Pickler, on November 27, 1959 in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in Norwalk, California going to the beach and surfing. He was a protective older brother, keeping the boys away from his younger sisters.
Shawn was an accomplished and gifted mechanic. He was able to work on and fix almost anything on wheels. He worked as a mechanic in both Flagstaff, AZ, and Worland, WY, where he lived with his wife and family. In his down time, he was a consummate goof-ball, skipping, singing and playing with his kids. He was known for chasing down Ice Cream trucks with his kids and nieces and nephews, as well as fishing, and dumpster diving with them.
Shawn lived the last seven years in Casper, WY with his girlfriend Nickie Bennett.
He was preceded in death by both his parents, and his sister, Deidre Pickler.
He is survived by his children, Devin Terrance Pickler, Shawn Eugene Pickler II, Chinell Monet Pickler and her son, Anthony Kai Garcia. His siblings Jeneene Wickerd, Kim (Ron) Oldham, Alexis (Bob) Hanke, Kevin Pickler, and many nieces and nephews.
He will be missed and remembered for his generosity of spirit and his big heart.
