Ants (Apr 18, 2009)
I am a big fan of the brumbies and was deeply saddened when i heard of the news from Sth African that Shawn was fighting for his life in a Durban hospital after being senselessly run down following a night out with fellow team mates following his teams match against the shark.s.To learn of his passing at such a young age just isn't fair.I know you will be in captain of the rugby team in heaven .Your spirit will live on the hearts of the Brumbies forever.God bless you and your family

Our Brumbie

shawn we will miss your great leadership and cheeky smile we were truly proud when you became a brumbie. A truly great man and footballer greatly missed.

Parents must be proud - from an old friend

I last saw Shawn was as a baby in a pram at East Leagues Club. I was having lunch with his Mum Lee. Lee and I worked together, and had our babies in the same year. I watched Shawn play in the Commonwealth Games and thought how proud John and Lee must have been. I was shocked to the core when I heard about the accident in SA.
I can't begin to know how Lee & John are coping. However, they must be so very proud of the comments made about their son. He was obviously a great bloke, and fantastic team member and a loving son and brother. Lee & John - my heart goes out to you.

As a brumbies supporter and a rabid rugby supporter this tradgedy came as a great shock. From the moment the accident occured I was persistently checking for news and when the signs were good I was absolutly gutted and the outcome. My thoughts go out to all the Mackay family, his partner and the brumbies.

May Shawn Mackay Rest in Peace!

From 7s to 15s

On behalf of the Hobart Harlequin Rugby Club I send our deepest sympathies to Shawn's family and team mates. We play our first game this season on Saturday and we will be honoring Shawn with black arm bands in both grades. The Brumbies are our favourite team and we are greatly saddened by this tragedy. God bless all of you.

My Memory

Kelly Apr 10, 2009

I can't explain how traumatised I am by Shawn's death. I didn't even know him, but have had a long commitment to Rugby with many family members playing at an elite level. You just don't ever imagine that such a young and brilliant athlete's life can be suddenly taken away whilst on tour. My prayers and thought are with Shawn's family - now doubt this is the most difficult time of their lives.
