The following are the list of Rhode Islanders who lost their lives as a result of the terrorism attacks masterminded by Osama bin Laden:

Shawn M. Nassaney, 25, was a sales manager at American Power Conversion. The Pawtucket native attended Saint Raphael Academy and graduated from Bryant College in 1998 cum laude with a degree in marketing. He also was a member of Bryant’s track and cross-country teams. Since his death, his family has set up a foundation in his honor. The foundation funds a scholarship at Byrant and holds a memorial race each year.

“Best known for his unending enthusiasm and drive, Shawn quickly gained the respect and friendship of his friends, family, classmates, teammates, his colleagues and all levels of management,” his family states on the foundation Web site. “His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of those countless people he touched all over the world.”
