Shaun P. Hazard passed away Wednesday at home with those he loved surrounding him. Born in Warwick, son of Rosey (Pemantell) Serabian and the late Eugene Hazard, he lived with his partner and husband of 16 years, Ryan T. Bannister in Providence and then Johnston.
An avid lover of board and video games and sharing that love with friends by inviting them into his home for meals and game nights, he was happiest when surrounded by those he loved. From tea parties to dinner parties and brunches to picnics, he loved hosting friends and family for gatherings.
A software engineer by trade, a lifelong learner, a vociferous reader, and a Free Mason in his spare time, he never turned down the chance to gain knowledge, engage in conversation, and challenge his friends to debate.
He is survived by his husband Ryan, his partner Dean Batteson of Johnston, his mother Rosey, stepfather Nishan Serabian of Preston (CT), sister Lindsay Serabian of East Providence, and many close friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Youth Pride Rhode Island in his name. Arrangements by the Stapleton Family Funeral Home.
