Aidan McCormick Shane Mar. 22, 2008 - Oct. 2, 2010 Beloved son of Molly and Jason Shane, died suddenly at his home on the morning of October 2, 2010. Born in San Francisco, Aidan lived his whole life at the family's home in the Presidio. He brought absolute joy to everyone whose life he touched. People will remember his bright blue eyes, his beautiful smile, and his infectious laugh. Aside from cuddling with his stuffed dog "Bo" and playing with his toy cars, trucks, and trains, he enjoyed listening to Pearl Jam and the Black Keys and watching Giants baseball and Michigan football. Aidan was very excited when he recently learned that he was going to be a big brother. He will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
