“The Fairhaven Firefighters Association, Local 1555 regrets to report the Active Duty passing of Firefighter/Paramedic Shawn Samanica. Shawn served the department for 20 years.
A man of many talents, Shawn could literally fix anything. One of the most mechanically inclined people you could ever meet, he was the go-to guy when we needed something taken apart and put together. There was nothing he couldn’t repair!
He leaves behind his daughter Skylar, who Shawn often talked about how proud he was of her accomplishments as a student, an athlete and most importantly as a wonderful daughter.
Service details to follow. Please respect the privacy of Shawn’s friends and relatives.”-Fairhaven Firefighters Association, Local 1555
