SHANE ROLLER Obituary

Shane Emil Roller Shane was born in Federal Way, Washington on December 12, 1988. He resided in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area throughout his life, which was tragically cut short on February 23, 2011. Shane was a young man known for his big smile, fun personality, compassionate/easy-going spirit, and love for children. As a child, Shane could make friends with anyone he met, young or old, and was known for striking up conversations with complete strangers just to be friendly. He was a loyal friend with an infectious sense of humor that could leave anyone doubled over with laughter. While Shane's adult life was lived without boundaries, he never forgot where he came from and where he could always go back to. As we tearfully say goodbye to our little "Bubba" we take comfort in knowing that he would want all of those whose lives he touched to be marked by good choices. Shane was truly pleased when those he loved succeeded in life, even in areas where success had eluded him. Shane was preceded in death by his grandfather Virgil Weed. He is survived by his father Ronald Roller, mother Jackie Schwendeman, sisters Nicole Anderson and Angela Pierce, grandmother Marion Weed, aunt Kim Zook (Roller), uncle Michael Zook, and surrogate sisters Jaime Broadfoot (Zook) and Lindsay Wilson (Zook), as well as numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins, and family. He will truly be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held at Resurrection Lutheran Church, 4301 Browns Point Blvd., Tacoma, on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.

Shane, I will always remember you as that cute little boy learning how to swim in the Zook's backyard. To this day, I still picture you wearing that red innertube swim shirt thing. We sure had a lot of good times together as kids.
You will be missed by all Shane...I hope you are in a better place. RIP...
