A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Shawn Hendricks, who left this world on March 5, 2026, at the age of 38. Born on December 10, 1987, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Shawn was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a cherished brother and son.
Shawn’s life was marked by his dedication to his work as a salesman for Safe Haven Security Services, where he applied his skills to protect families in his community. His kindness and warm spirit resonated with colleagues and clients alike, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he encountered. He was a devoted fan of the Bengals. He never passed up a chance to enjoy a good game of pool and enjoyed karaoke.
Shawn is survived by his beloved spouse, Erin Hendricks; his son, Shawn Hendricks II; stepson Connor Boehm; stepdaughter Annabelle Kelly; his mother, Bobbi Gibson; and his siblings, Chad Hendricks, Michael Hendricks, and Angel Hendricks; grandchildren, Ky’aire, Kamaiyah and Saraiyha. Shawn was an uncle to many nieces and nephews. The love and support of his family were at the core of his life, and he will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his father Bruce Hendricks.
Gathering of family and friends will be held on Saturday March 28, 2026, from 2 – 4 PM in the Arlington Memorial Gardens Funeral Home. Funeral service to honor Shawn’s memory will be held Monday March 30, 2026, at 11 AM at the funeral home. Burial will follow in Arlington Memorial Gardens Funeral Home.

“Shawn, my dear cousin. I will forever miss you. I know time and life had us all grow apart over the years but the love we all share as family (no matter how big) runs deeper than anyone knew. Anytime we ran into one another you always told me how proud you were and how happy you were for me. I would share the same sentiment with you and you’d always give me a huge hug and tell me you loved me. Goodbye is not forever and it is not the end, it’s simply means I’ll miss you, until we meet again.”

“I worked with Shawn for a relatively short amount of time but learned so much. He was always eager and willing to share his knowledge and lend a hand. His passing will be strongly felt, especially on Thursday mornings when we gathered in the parking lot to count inventory.”

“I am saddened by Shawn’s passing. I so enjoyed being his teacher in high school – especially with Chad in the same class one year! I also taught Angel. My heart is broken. The Hendricks are one of many families that have made an impact on my life and I will keep all of you in my prayers in your time of sorrow. I pray that God brings peace and comfort to all of you. Sending love and prayers”
