Shane Cory Figueroa

I knew Shane from the mission. He was one of the missionaries that I respected and looked up to. It was a blessing to have known him.

While he has left this mortal life, he continues to live in the memories of those he has touched. Thank you for your example to me, Shane.

My name is Valerie Sanchez. I live in Urbandale, IA. I had the pleasure of meeting Shane's brother tonight. He is a missionary in our ward. He spoke so highly of Shane and his other brother. His words were "My brothers were perfect examples to me." He said that losing Shane completely changed his life and that is why he is on a mission today. I wanted you to know that Shane's legacy is living on in Iowa and that while Elder Figueroa is in our ward he will be well taken care of. If you'd ever...

To the Figueroa Family,

A close friend of mine, Coreen Skousen (a cousin of Shane's) brought to my attention that as of today, it has been one year. I never met him or any of the family, but felt compelled to go on-line and read some of the blogs and memorials, etc., that were posted in honor of Shane, over the last 12 months... What an awesome man and beautiful wife & daughter. Several tears rolled down my cheeks- Please know you are still in my thoughts and prayers a year later,...

Figueroa family, you don't know me but I went to school with Shane and I am so sorry for your loss. Shane was always very nice in school. We were in school together from elementary to highschool. My sister lost her husband in iraq when there daughter was about 10months old, my thoughts and prayers are with his wife and daughter.

Thank you for the wonderful baby blankets you brought to our hospital, today. What a sweet way to celebrate a life lived serving others. Our patients were very touched and thankful for your thoughtfulness.

well I´m so sorry. I served at the same time in Maracaibo Mission. for his family, I have to say that I believe that you are going to see him again. It´s hard don´t see him or talk to him but, he is still alive in your hearts and he´ll live

Melisha, I just found out and am so sorry. My heart aches for you and your dear family. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I know this is later than everyone else, I just found out today. I am very sorry for the loss you have suffered. I did go to heritage, however did not know him very well, and I was very shocked to hear this otherwise. You and your baby are in my prayers.
