ST. CLAIRSVILLE, OHIO — June 13, 2023 Shawn Chrisagis passed away at 55 years old. His legacy was one of LOVE. He was an identical twin of Brian Chrisagis. These two men of integrity formed the Chrisagis Brothers Ministries.

Shawn was the brains behind the highly successful duo. He and Brian recorded 12 Cds, worked in TV and radio, traveled the world and did a line of children’s toys as well as being authors. They formed a series of Concerts entitled Legends for CCM Artists and a Christmas celebration entitled Christmas with the Stars. These events plus Women’s event for actress Jennifer O’Neill entitle All That Glitters were just a few creations the Brothers produced.
