Jan, I am so sorry for your loss. Two people could not be closer than you & your son. He is now free from pain with a perfect body in our Lord's arms. I can still see the picture of him on his bike speeding around the race track with a smile a mile wide. Shane & I exchanged many emails & he always ended his with an uplifting quote that celebrated life. We should all be so positive. My deepest sympathy sissy. Your brother.

Shane truly was an inspiration - always smiling and I'll never forget how he was so independent in spite of his physical limitations. He showed many of us what acceptance means and God's JOY is here thru men like Shane --- HE now has PEACE and will be missed. God Bless.

To the family of my dear friend Shane,
Words cannot express the sorrow in mine and Dillon's heart. Shane was like a brother to me and a surrogate "Uncle Shrek" to Dillon. We will always hold dear the wonderful times we had together with Shane.I know in my heart he's buzzing around with new wings at the "big meeting in the sky" and we will meet again there one day....Tiffany Kidd and son Dillon

I'd only known Shane a few years. He was a kind and caring individual who I enjoyed being around. I watched as he met new challenges in new ways. Always striving to do what needed to be done.

While, his passing saddens me, I know that he is in a far better place. Free from the pain and disabilities that made life on earth sometimes difficult for him.

My prayers are with all of his family and friends at this time of loss.
