In Memory of Shawn Sankey
Shawn Sankey (WeathermanShawn) 1956-2011
It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Shawn has passed away on Saturday evening.
His wife Kristen pm'd me the sad news this morning, she said that he collapsed while running.
Shawn took an avid interest in tuning his 2002 Camaro with the EFILive tools. He authored the Calc.VET and Calc.MAFT tuning tutorials, and spent much time and effort ensuring they were clear and easy for everyone to understand and follow. He applied his knowledge to generously and graciously help many people on the forum with their tuning efforts, he and I discussed by phone many of those tuning cases and in doing so developed a friendship. He was very avid and enthusiastic about the forum, he enjoyed it very much.
In the Calc.VET tutorial Shawn introduced the idea of calculating the VE table from the corrected MAF table, this was very innovative and time saving; and the Calc.MAFT tutorial (where the calculation is done in reverse) was spawned from his ideas; he constantly sought to simplify, improve and generally make the tutorials accessible and useable by everyone.
Shawn is survived by his 2.5 year old daughter Carra and his wife Kristen.
We will miss Shawn a great deal, but we will always remember our conversations with him and his enthusiasm.
