Mr. Lay was one of the few amazing officers that we had at TCF. Always wanting us to strive to be our best and make the changes within ourselves to be better upon release. I’m thankful for the time we had with him. Especially for me personally, him being my work release officer. He alway had a smile and words of encouragement. He’ll be missed and not forgotten. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us.

~ Tammy Woolf - September 16, 2020

There was never a day that I saw Shawn that he did not bring a smile to my face. We worked for the same company for many years and even though we worked different locations I would see him often as I would travel around. He was driven and always had a joke just for you. He made you feel like you belonged. He will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to his family.

~ Alyssa Monson - June 15, 2020

There are no words that can truly express the way that I feel. I will miss you brother; I will cherish all the laughs that we shared and the time that we spent together. You were an amazing human and I know that you are going to be an amazing angel. Keep a watchful eye over all of us that shared time with you on earth. Until we meet again...Rest In Heaven.

~ Sgt. Turley - June 15, 2020

Some people call you serg. Some people call you Lay but to me you were my brother, we worked the trenches together ICH you use to run me an Moria like Seg was our POD or something lol an you use to always tell momma Jackman on us when we were “hiding” it was a lot of work but we got it done with smiles on our faces mainly bc you always fed us an everyone know me an Hearn love to eat lol! We have so many memories with the bomb team we had an I can never forget, you were always looking out for me an I will always remember that! Love you Brother??

Words simply don't exist to properly describe what I want to say. You are my brother, by bonds stronger than blood. I am devastated that I failed to recognize your pain. I miss you, and the unit won't be same without your amazingly smiling, happy presence. Rest easy brother, I've got the watch.

Till Valhalla

~ David Anderson - June 14, 2020

I am so heavy hearted having to write this. Where to begin, how to properly put the right words for this man who in my opinion was a saint.
Mr.Lay was a decent,honest and wonderful human being. So many pep talks about life and how to handle this new transition back into life. He didnt have a judgemental bone in his body.He believed in second chances and was such a support to us ladies. I am grateful for him giving me guidance and giving me the gift of his humor and laughter.
Rest in peace Mr.Lay
Hooah!
Cristina Hancock

~ CRISTINA HANCOCK - June 12, 2020

I can’t even begin to express the pain I feel for his family I only pray that they see all the peoples lives that he touched, truly a wonderful man so glad to have met you and thank you for always treating us woman as people that just made mistakes not people that were less than I have so much respect for you Mr. Lay you will be greatly missed by so many people all over the world! Condolences to his wife children and grandchildren may his memory live on forever God Bless

~ Amanda Johnson - June 12, 2020

I don’t think I can fairly relay into words the kind of person Sgt. Lay was- the type of guy who could be friends with almost anyone, always cracking jokes, always a smile to match those big happy eyes. He had a positive outlook on everything and did his best to share that and brighten your day. And if I didn’t already feel old, his “Yes Ma’am” surely did the trick, even though it was said purely out of respect. On the return of one of his deployments he came to the office and gave me a huge hug, it sure was great to see him back. He loved home made desserts and whenever we worked together, he’d ask if I had made any sweets lately as he hoped I had brought some and that he’d get to it before I did. “You always make the best desserts” he’d tell me. A man of humor, respect, manners, and a love for his country and other people. This loss certainly hits hard. RIP brother.

Caitlin & Breanna

We want to start off by saying how deeply sorry we are. We were very shocked and saddened by the news when we heard about your Dad. We know this is a very sad and difficult time for you both. We hope that it comforts you girls to know that your grief is shared by all of us who knew your Dad. He was a wonderful man and he will be missed by many. Just remember that loved ones never go away they are always by our sides, he'll always be watching over you two. He will stay with you forever. Your Dad may have left this earth for Heaven, but his thoughts, hopes, and dreams will live on in you girls. Your Dad was very proud of you both. We hope you know that you girls meant the world to him.

Thank you Shawn for blessing us with our beautiful granddaughter Breanna!

We are keeping you both close in our hearts and in the coming weeks as you two are going through this very, very difficult time,

All our Love -
Grandma & Grandpa

Mr. Lay, because of meeting you I truly believe good people do exhist in this world!! I am so sad to hear of your passing. You were so kind to everyone and treated all of us with respect showing us we are human ..not just inmates. This world will miss your smile and kindness. Praying for your family.
Tiffany Matthews-Barker

~ Tiffany Matthews-Barker - June 11, 2020

I first met officer Lay when he had new hire orientation at TCF. He was immediately friendly and always respectful. I often got the impression that he deeply cared for the well-being of everyone at TCF, and I felt like I was on his team even though I do not work in security. Officer Lay touched many lives with kindness and these ripples will not quickly fade.

~ LeAnna Herrmann - June 11, 2020

To Sgt. Lay's Parents- Your Son brightened so many lives. He was like a Brother to me and so many other officer's at TCF. I had the luxury of knowing him for 3 years. He was the work release officer that picked up and dropped off inmates. I work in the work release dorm and he had taught me so much. Every night before he left I would ask him if he worked the following night. Work was a breeze with his accuracy of paperwork. I knew if I was struggling with anything work related or not he could always help. He put everyone before himself. One day I forgot my lunch and he gave me his. He loved his job and people were grateful for the amount of overtime he would take on. His passing has been truly difficult on all of us. That's one set of boots we can never replace. Rest easy in God's loving arms Brother Lay.

~ Stacy Hinrichs - June 11, 2020

I worked with Shawn for only a few months, but my memory of those months will always include lots of laughter. I will also always remember him as a kind man. Friday night shifts will not be the same without him. To his family, I give you my sincerest condolences and may you rest in God’s peace and in His loving arms. And Shawn, may you rest in peace.

~ Sondra Ridgway - June 10, 2020

I'm so sorry this happened! I love you sis and for my brother-in-law, time to rest brother!! We'll see you again some day with the rest of our family!!

~ Dustin Robinson - June 10, 2020

I don’t know you young man but I was at TCF for 21 years and retired from the Army after 21 years as well. Sounds like we could share some War Stories. I want you to know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. It’s very evident that you were loved and respected by the many entries in your memory message book. Rest In Peace my friend.

~ Michael Gainey - June 10, 2020

Shawn was a treasured friend of mine on our 2011-2012 deployment. He always kept a calm head and always made everyone smile. My deepest condolences to his family.

~ Valerie Barsness - June 10, 2020

Sgt. Lay was, simply put, was an amazing presence. He was honestly a super hero. He held characteristics and qualities that you don't see often. He was kind and generous. He was always there whenever he was needed. He took on work and challenges that most shyed from. He was kind when it was impossible. He immediately upon meeting someone would provide the same level of care and concern that he would for friends he had for years. He was an amazing force of good in the world and we are all better for knowing him. I would say that the world is worse off for losing him, but the truth is, that he shared his brilliance with everyone who knew him or even knew of him and it still burns bright in his absence. This is something that shall never leave the world and his gift to all that knew him. We shall meet again.

~ Alexandra Kraft - June 10, 2020

I met Shawn about 11 years ago at church. He was part of our beginner bible study group at Fairlawn Church of Nazarene. We hit it off right away. He was such a sweet person and fit in so well with our small group! He had a thirst for knowledge of the Lord and was so open and honest about his life and our little group became great friends! A few of us even started our own little bible study at a local coffee shop and I think we did more laughing and drinking coffee a lot of the times! He loved to talk about being in army and was very proud to serve our country. To his beautiful wife Denae and family, my sincerest condolences to you and may God wrap His loving arms around you all and comfort you.

Shawn, rest now my friend...….until we meet again in Heaven.

~ Anna Munns - June 10, 2020

You were a wonderful Officer here at TCF- you helped train and mentor staff and you had a great rapport with the offenders. More important than being a wonderful Officer you were a wonderful person- treating everyone with respect, fairness and kindness. Any day you worked was a day that was easier for everyone just because of you and how you were with everyone. You will absolutely be missed by all of us- your family at TCF. - Dona Hook

~ Dona Hook - June 10, 2020

Mr Lay was such a hard worker and respected by so many; which makes this so hard to accept this loss. My husband and I are so lucky to have known him. May he Rest In Peace. Prayers to the family.....Verle and Corkey Creek of TCF.

~ Corkey Creek - June 10, 2020

I'm going to miss you brother.

Shawn and I spent a majority of my time in the Army serving together, including two deployments. When it came down to getting stuff done, Shawn was your guy. If you needed help, Shawn was your guy. If you just needed to vent about an LT, Shawn was there to listen. Having an additional duty as the Company Fire Prevention NCO, if you wanted to daisy-chain power strips, well.... he was not your guy to let you get away with that.

We were on a detail one day, picking up trash. Everyone around was bitter about it simply because nobody wanted to do it. As we were doing this, each person is airing their complaints and there was some banter. Overall, it was pretty negative conversation. Shawn, in traditional form, starting making jokes and trading jabs, lifting everyone's spirits a bit. His great sense of humor always made those around feel at ease and when he spoke and he often did so with a bit of wisdom. He is directly responsible for the positive influence on those he led, those he served and just those that had the luck of crossing paths with him.

We used to joke and call him the "Old Man" in the group, but would hold his own with anybody. He would go along with pranks, even if he knew what was going to happen, simply to make everyone laugh when they needed it. He constantly thought of others and did everything he could to help somebody out. I think all of us knew this and that is what made him such a great soldier, leader and friend.

I know he overcame a great many difficulties in his life. To go through much of what he did and still be the kind person he was, that is the true testament to his character. He had a heart of the largest magnitude. We all knew that if we needed him, he was always there. This world needs more people like him, with his compassion, care, dedication, moral compass and beaming personality.

Till Valhalla.

~ Andrew Sprague - June 10, 2020

Mr. Lay words can't express how much of a positive impact you made on many lives. You encouraged me and a lot of people that we are more than we think. You are very respected man, may you Rest in heavenly peace. To your family my condolences. I will keep you all in my prayers.

~ Whitney Hersh - June 10, 2020

To Shawn's family I am so sorry to hear of his passing. It has been several years since I had seen or spoken to Shawn. I first met him when we were both becoming new Christians and we were in a small Basic Bible Study group at a local church. Shawn always made me laugh and he had a funny sense of humor but also had a very serious side and always seemed to be trying to find his way and place in this world. He would sit at church with the Bible and a pad of paper on his lap and take notes during the service. Denea, he even brought you at least once with him to church and he was so proud to be with you and smitten with you. As I read through Shawn's guest book and see how loved he was by everyone that he touched or came into contact with I hope and pray that he is looking down and seeing just how missed he is and will be and what a difference he did make in people's lives. Shawn I pray that you are at peace. Denea, I pray that you will find peace through all of these messages and memories of Shawn. God Bless your family!

~ Debbie White - June 10, 2020

-Sgt. Shawn Lay
You were an amazing person inside and out and always knew what to say when I needed someone to talk to about life. I have only worked with you for 1 1/2 years at TCF but I will never forget that smiling face and laugh! The inmates here at Topeka Correctional Facility made little black cards with a silver line down them in memory of you they are really nice and a lot of the girls are wearing them, clearly you have impacted more than just us officers and military personnel. You are a huge role-model for a lot of people.Rest Easy my friend! You are so greatly missed already! - Sgt. Alyssa Lohse

~ Alyssa Lohse - June 10, 2020

I want to express my deepest condolences during this time. I nothing but good memories of Sgt. Lay he was nothing but a great friend we both share commend bond. We are both are Veterans who served our country he under stood what I going through better than most people. That why when I heard the news of his passing it hurt so much I felt like I had lost a brother in arms. We might not have served in the same unit and I had already left the military when I meet Sgt. Lay but, we had this connection that most people didn't understand. I just want you know that little time I got to spend with Sgt. Lay and get to know him he made my life better. My heart is in hurting right knowing I can't have a conversation with my brother and friend anymore. I will remember all good times we shared all the laughs we had all the combat stories we share with each other.

He made be gone but, the impact he made my life personal will never be forgotten.

~ Edwin Hagen - June 10, 2020

To Sgt. Lay's family: I am sure you already know what an amazing person Shawn was. I hope it means something to you to know others saw it, too. Shawn had a fantastic smile that felt warm, inviting, and genuine. My earliest memories of Shawn were discussing things that needed to happen in our unit, and him responding with, "Yes, ma'am," "Whatever you need, ma'am," etc. I am not military. I struggle with rank, because I see my coworkers as equals on the team with me. It was an adjustment to me, but I learned, from him, it was a marker of respect, and an acknowledgement that the tasks were important, and he would give them his full attention. He was excellent at his work. He quickly earned the respect of his coworkers and our residents. He treated everyone well and gave all dignity. I have had to console several crying eyes in the wake of his passing. People felt safe around him, and this is vitally important in the work we do, because it is very difficult for people to grown and change when they do not feel safe. In my efforts to support our team through this loss, I learned he had a passion for helping newer officers. Many have shared stories with me of him reaching out to them and guiding them. He did this even if he had not been assigned to do on-the-job training with them. This is a tremendous loss to our team. His shoes, truly, cannot be filled by anyone else. People like Shawn do not come along every day. They are special, and their presence is felt by all around. A man with a heart for service of others, and this showed in everything he did. You have my love in this difficult time.

~ Meghan Davis - June 10, 2020

I was fortunate enough to have SGT Lay in my unit as a commander, he was quick to assist anyone and loved his work. He was a man who rarely complained about anything except what truly needed to change. I was so surprised he remembered me so many years later on deployment in Kuwait. He made my lunchtimes so much better, because a friendly face with no expectations other than fellowship and a lovely conversation was a godsend for me. Shawn had so many dreams and I am sad he lost his battle. It is never easy to lose a loved one with such a compassionate spirit. I am sorry for your family's loss, and I hope you can find peace during this time.

~ Catherine Forsyth - June 10, 2020

It was a pleasure to know you Shawn Lay, and even better to work with you! A true professional...

~ Steve Chambers - June 9, 2020

Sgt. Lay was the kind of coworker that made you want to be better, while making you feel like you were already doing great. He encouraged me as an officer, and treated everyone around him with decency and compassion. If I can be half the person he was, I'll be doing well for myself.

R.I.P. Sgt. Lay,
COII Griffin

~ Naomi Griffin - June 9, 2020

I am floored of this news. Shawn was someone I trained while we were both officer's. He was a great friend and officer. We used to talk crap about our football teams. When ever the Raiders and broncos played each other. He always joked and had fun. Always positive and always smiling. We even come from the same city in California. I will miss you brother.

~ Aaron McGaffick - June 9, 2020

I am truly sad right now. My heart hurt when I heard the news and now I can’t stop thinking of all the interactions we had over the years... you always made me smile when I would see you and always the sir stuff...lol such a goof ball. Probably one of the most genuine men I have ever met to this day. One of the best in my books ...damn good Officer. Love you brother.. rest now. I’ll see you in awhile.

~ Clint Ballhagen - June 9, 2020

Words cannot even begin to express how deeply my heart is broken to hear this. He was such an amazing man with a huge, caring heart and so full of positivity. He was the one who got me through some of my toughest days at TCF and for that I am eternally grateful. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. R.I.H Mr Lay

~ Crystal Ruiz - June 9, 2020

I met SGT Lay in Kuwait. Me being part of the Texas unit, we'd never interacted. I was talking to some Congressional people, taking about how the enlisted Soldiers need help with schools, etc. SGT Lay and I had lunch together that day. He told me thank you for sticking up for the enlisted. I'd never met him, never talked to him before. But that lunch left such an impression on me of what a great guy this is. SGT Lay and I had many lunches and dinners together after that day. He was a caring and upstanding person. He will be missed. And I'll always remember the day we met.

~ Andreas Turner - June 9, 2020

~ Edina Russo - June 9, 2020

My Dearest Son. The one who made me a Dad first. It’s hard to imagine a world without you in it. From the moment you were born and I held you in my arms to now you’ve made me proud not only of the man you became but proud to be your Dad. I wish we had more time, time to make more memories. As a parent you don’t plan for your child to go before you. This alone has broken my heart. I take some solace though it be a small amount that one day I will see you again, that you will be the one who greets me. Nothing could ease the pain or heartache the day Mom and I found out that you left this world to go to heaven. The hole in hearts that can not be repaired. We pray that you knew not only how loved you are but how rewarding it is that you are our son.

~ Marc and Patricia Lay - June 9, 2020

Mr.Lay was a man of much wisdom .I so enjoyed the rides to work he gave us women in work release program at TCF .He not only have us a reason you try He gave us hope an that's not much to many but it was the world to me. I'll never b able to say in words just how much courage an strength that He made me see in myself when I wanted to give up he was there with the right words to keep you motivated .Thank you Mr.Lay for everything you will b very much missed .As for the family I am so very sorry for your lose know your in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Marsha Coker

~ Marsha Coker - June 9, 2020

Such an amazing man. He worked at t.c.f when I was a inmate there. He inspired me to be a better person. Always treated us women like we still people no matter our past. He talked to me the night before my release I'll never forget how much he believed in me. I hope I'm here making u proud Mr. Lay.....

~ Stephanie Hewitt - June 9, 2020
