We Remember

KUSS, Shawn Robert
November 23, 1978 — January 6, 2025
Shawn Kuss, born on November 23, 1978, passed away suddenly in the early hours of January 6, 2025. Known for his gentle soul, and friendly manner, Shawn was a person who touched the hearts of everyone he met. As a young boy, he loved swimming, watersports, and camping. His passion for reading, movies, and art also began at an early age and brought him comfort and joy throughout his life.
Despite facing many struggles, Shawn always led with kindness and generosity. Though he didn’t have much, he would gladly give or do anything to help a friend in need. He approached each day with a positive outlook and never judged others. His ability to find beauty in the world, even in the face of adversity, was truly inspiring.
Shawn is survived by his loving family: his parents, Stan Kuss and Charlotte Murray; his siblings, Trish (Silas); Adam (Kristi); and his friends who were like family to him. The many childhood memories of shared happy times will live on in his family’s hearts and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Shawn’s family expresses a very special thank you to Adriana Cuellar and the staff at Westwood Manor and the Mustard Seed, along with the doctors and nurses at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. Shawn’s family greatly appreciates any gifts in Shawn’s memory to The Mustard Seed.
A private family memorial celebration will be held at a later date.
Rest in peace, Shawn. Your gentle presence and beautiful spirit will never be forgotten!
