MSgt. Shawn Durkin Memorial Fund

This is a fund to honor the late MSgt Shawn P. Durkin.

Shawn was taken from us far too soon. On July 15th, at the young age of 47, he tragically succumbed to his injuries. Shawn was always giving and caring for others, even until the end. In the early morning of July 10th and on his way to work, Shawn witnessed a motor vehicle collision. He pulled over, called 911 to report the accident, and then departed his vehicle to assist the victims. Upon exiting his vehicle, he was struck by a passing vehicle. 

Shawn dedicated his life to serving his country.  He proudly served the last 29 years in the United States Air Force National Guard, as a weather craftsman and had plans on retiring in September.  Shawn was also dual-working at the Baltimore Washington International airport for the last 24 years as the senior weather observer and supervisor of the station. 

Shawn is survived by his wife, Theresa and their four children: Alexandria, Dillon, Zackery and Declan.  He will also never be forgotten by those whose lives he impacted.

All funds will be withdrawn directly by his wife Theresa Durkin.
