Il y a tant de fa\u00e7ons de d\u00e9crire Shawn Eades. Son \u00e9pouse l’aimait tendrement car il \u00e9tait charismatique et fort, et malgr\u00e9 cela il prenait beaucoup de plaisir \u00e0 faire des chatouilles \u00e0 ses petites filles et \u00e0 ramener des chatons \u00e0 la maison pour qu’ils fassent partie de la famille. Il \u00e9tait gentleman \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re d’autrefois mais il avait des principes et savait quand affirmer ses convictions. Ses petites filles se souviennent de son grand rire sonore. Shawn \u00e9tait conscient des dangers que sa profession lui faisait courir, et il avait sagement pris des dispositions pour assurer le bien-\u00eatre de sa famille, \u00ab au cas o\u00f9 \u00bb – \u00e9ventualit\u00e9 \u00e0 laquelle doivent faire face toutes les familles de militaires.<\/p>\n

Ses amis et sa famille se souviennent de son engagement dans la Franc-Ma\u00e7onnerie, dont les id\u00e9es correspondaient \u00e0 son approche int\u00e8gre et s\u00e9rieuse de la vie. En tant que franc-ma\u00e7on, Shawn put prendre part \u00e0 cet esprit de fraternit\u00e9 si essentiel \u00e0 sa nature, et les rites et c\u00e9r\u00e9monies furent tr\u00e8s enrichissants pour lui. C’\u00e9tait un homme de foi mais qui gardait l’esprit ouvert; il brillait dans les conversations portant sur des sujets intellectuels et philosophiques.<\/p>\n

En Afghanistan, il \u00e9tait connu pour son travail dur et son bon sens, ne prenant pas de risques inutiles et ne laissant pas les autres en prendre. Les autres soldats connaissaient Shawn comme quelqu\u2019un de disciplin\u00e9, solide et m\u00e9thodique \u2013 avec un fort esprit de comp\u00e9tition! Ces caract\u00e9ristiques faisaient partie int\u00e9grante de son caract\u00e8re et se retrouvaient dans ses comp\u00e9tences en jiu-jitsu, dont il \u00e9tait ceinture noire. Toutes ces qualit\u00e9s lui permirent de tenir pendant trois missions en Afghanistan, la premi\u00e8re fois peu apr\u00e8s 9-11, suivie d\u2019une autre en 2006 et sa derni\u00e8re en 2008.<\/p>\n

Bien qu\u2019il ne se plaign\u00eet jamais de la situation l\u00e0-bas, qu\u2019il n\u2019ait jamais dit ne pas vouloir y aller, qu\u2019il n\u2019ait jamais refus\u00e9 une t\u00e2che, il \u00e9tait cependant choqu\u00e9 par les conditions dans lesquelles se trouvaient les militaires canadiens et le peuple afghan. Tous ses sens \u00e9taient submerg\u00e9s : la vue, le toucher, l\u2019odorat, le go\u00fbt. La chaleur, la pauvret\u00e9, la nourriture infecte (ou sa p\u00e9nurie) \u2013 et la continuelle poussi\u00e8re de sable si irritante \u2013 lui faisaient cruellement sentir les diff\u00e9rences entre nos deux mondes. Tout cela lui faisait consid\u00e9rer comme des biens pr\u00e9cieux, les colis de nourriture que sa famille lui envoyait, et qu\u2019il partageait avec les autres.<\/p>\n

En tant que technicien senior de neutralisation des explosifs, Shawn, avec son \u00e9quipe, \u00e9taient malheureusement tr\u00e8s demand\u00e9s. Ses camarades ont dit qu\u2019il \u00e9tait un formidable exemple et qu\u2019eux-m\u00eames \u00ab auraient voulu \u00eatre ce gars \u00bb. Le but de Shawn \u00e9tait de faire carri\u00e8re dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e, et il avait atteint le grade de sergent-major. Apr\u00e8s s\u2019\u00eatre engag\u00e9 dans les cadets de l\u2019air \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 12 ans, Shawn comprit qu\u2019il \u00e9tait fait pour la vie militaire. Il avait des aptitudes inn\u00e9es pour \u00eatre ing\u00e9nieur, et apr\u00e8s une formation de base \u00e0 la BFC Gagetown, il passa plusieurs ann\u00e9es \u00e0 la BFC Chilliwack, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que son r\u00e9giment f\u00fbt affect\u00e9 \u00e0 la BFC d\u2019Edmonton dans les ann\u00e9es 90.<\/p>\n

Shawn ne reverra jamais plus les prairies et la vie rurale qu\u2019il avait appris \u00e0 tant aimer pendant son adolescence au Manitoba, cependant il a transmis \u00e0 ceux qu\u2019il a laiss\u00e9s derri\u00e8re lui que \u00ab le travail passe en premier \u00bb, et qu\u2019il pensait que des progr\u00e8s \u00e9taient en train de se r\u00e9aliser petit \u00e0 petit en Afghanistan et que les Afghans se sentaient un peu plus en s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Les efforts, croyait-il, serviraient \u00e0 quelque chose \u2013 et ne seraient pas entrepris en vain.<\/p>\n
