2 Timothy 4:7-8

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

On Monday, May 31, 2021 our Lord and Savior decided it was time to call Steven Rayshawn Keaton "Shawn" to join him in his heavenly home. Shawn was born November 5, 1983 to Steven R. Keaton and Cheryl T. Massey of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Clarence Keaton, Clifton Shaw Sr., Donald Lee Jones, Willie Mae Ross, and Hattie Mae Shaw. Devoted aunt Terry L. Shaw and Uncle Benjamin B. Shaw.
