  7. I will remember shaun as a dedicated ambulance associate who served with true conviction, always placing the care of his patients and the support of his workmates at the heart of everything he did. His commitment, compassion, and strength left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

    My sincere condolences go to Helen and his family during this difficult time and although he will be missed by many, he leaves behind many memories including a legacy of service and purpose.
