With deepest sorrow, we announce Shawn Paul Deitzel, 32, our most beloved son, brother, family member and friend, passed away on Saturday, July 17, 2021. He was born in Frankfurt, Germany, son of John E., Jr. and Patty L. Farmer, Deitzel. Shawn was a graduate of Eastern York High School, Class of 2007. He loved exploring the outdoors with a passion, including bow hunting, fishing and hiking. Shawn was a natural long distance runner with determination and endurance to finish in the top. He had the biggest, kindest heart who would help anyone in need, being family, friend or a stranger needing help on the street. He always took time to comfort others. Those who knew Shawn, even just a little, lost a shining light in their lives. Shawn recently was finding his dream of being in charge of his own roofing business and he was shining.

Shawn will be missed everyday by his parents, and sister: Sydney P. Deitzel. Maternal grandmother: Pat Farmer and Paternal grandparents: John and Ruth D. Deitzel. Also, uncles, aunts and many great friends. We know that Shawn is with his Pop-Pop, Robert Farmer, in heaven.

We love and miss you so much, our son. XOXO
