Shaun Hebert Candlelight Service at McWhorter Park

In memory

RIP

service

We believe there were over 300 community members who attended tonights candle-light service for Shaun Herbert’s friends and family. As a community member of Edgemont Park, we were all completely overwhelmed by the support of teachers from West Mesquite, and Shaun’s many many friends. My Mother and I met so many people from Edgemont Park who came to show their support for this young man’s friends & family. We were grateful to meet Shaun’s brother, and hisĀ Aunt and Uncle who drove out from Baton Rouge, LA to support their family during this difficult time. The West Mesquite Band members sang several songs including the school fight song. A prayer was given by a teacher’s husband and a band booster club president helped keep things rolling during the impromptu service. We hope that the young people had an opportunity to digress their grief and know their pain is far from over. Our hope was to let our children know that the Mesquite community will do anything we can to support them during their difficult high school years.

In memory of your friend, Shaun

Words can not express our grief

A group of students gathered Thursday evening outside West Mesquite High School to honor classmate Shaun Hebert.

Shaun died after getting swept up in the current of Mesquite Creek. His body was found Thursday afternoon.

A mixture of students from all grade levels and interests discussed some of their memories of Shaun.

A candle light vigil is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday at the bottom of McWhorter Park.
