We were neighbors of Dane and Doris'for a lot of years. We remember Shane as a baby and watched him grow. He was one of the sweetest and cutest little boys! We were so sorry to hear about your loss. Our hearts broke when we heard the news. You are a wonderful family and we know your closeness to God will help you through. We miss and love you.

Aunt Doris, Uncle Dane, Melissa, Louis, & Seirra I couldn't be there to hug each and everyone of you in person. So I will sign in on this guest book instead and again say that I am here if any of you need me for anything. You are all in my thoughts & prayers. You all did such a wonderful job raising Shane. Maybe it will be a little easier knowing you have the most perfect guardian angel god could ever offer sitting on your shoulder all day and all night protecting each of you. I love you all, my heart is with you always.

Shane was one of many who could put a smile on everybodys face. He was such a nice guy. He always made people laugh when they didnt want to. My prayers are with his family and friends. I will miss seeing your smiling face at school!

I used to live in Virginia and attended school with Shane. My family moved away at the end of sophmore year. We had the same Latin class he sat directly in front of me and directly next to my brother.Shane was an very outspoken good spirit.I'll always remember Shane as a amazing friend to anyone he came across.He had a spirit that was full of life and happiness.We joked alot but in the end I always excepted his kindness. My condolences to his family.

I didn't know him close enough to call him a firend but he was a great guy from what I saw and heard of him. I'm a friend of some of his friends and I remember him giving me a hug in the hallway for no reason at all. He always knew how to make people laugh, even at the worst moments. His sweetness and his humor is what'll I remember about him. For his family and close friends, my prayers go to. And remember, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Take care. =)

We knew Shane as a quiet and well behaved young man who accompanied our good friends Doris and Dane to our get togethers after church on Sunday nites. We know every ones heart is aching. How great to see the large turnout of friends at the visitation Wednesday night, he was greatly loved by all who knew him. Focus on the great memories and trust Gods love to help you through these days.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I know the days ahead won't be easy, but hold your head up high and have as much faith as you can. If I can help in any way please remember I am just a phone call away. Some times all you need is someone to listen, and believe me I have a good ear and a shoulder to cry on. Again, I am truly sorry.

My memory of Shane was seeing him come
to church with his grandparents.(Doris
and Dane) You could tell the bond between them was very close and very special. Shane was taught the things of God and these things showed in his life.My deepest sympathy to the family.
