Shawn was born in Towanda, PA on August 13, 1978 to Larry Saxe (Troy, MO) and Kandies Miller (Troy, MO). He graduated from Buchanan High School, Troy, MO, in 1996. On October 21, 1994, Shawn asked his wife “out” and their relationship began its journey. Shawn and Krista were united in marriage on July 21, 1996. Shawn and Krista were blessed with five wonderful children: Maci Kimiye (18), Salena Rena (16), Keegan Lawrence (12), Mya Cheri (5), and Brennan Richard (4). He grew up in Troy, MO, spending summers and hunting seasons in Pennsylvania with his grandmother, uncles, aunts, and cousins. He worked for Casey’s and Contractor’s Building Supply, making his career with Arrowhead Building Supply. Shawn worked his way through the company from washing trucks on the weekends to being the Southwest MO Regional Manager. He took the lead to expand Arrowhead’s services to southern MO. Shawn and his family moved in 2008, to make the plan a reality. This plan exploded faster than anyone imagined and he found himself hands-on in designing, building, and logistical planning for five sites. Shawn dedicated his career to making Arrowhead a leader in the industry. Shawn will be especially remembered for how he uniquely loved his family, deer hunting, trap shooting, projects with his dad and brothers, sharing his love of music, fishing, gaming, football, being a super hero, comic knowledge to spoil the endings to DC/Marvel movies, giving bear hugs way to tight, wet willies, traveling, weight lifting, and most recently kayaking.
