Not sure what to say?

Dear Shayne, You are remembered with love and fond memories. I hope you know the difference you made in the lives of your family and friends. I hope you now have found the peace and joy you desired in this life. My son David is there in heaven too. His favorite saying was "All things shining." I think that applies to your life too. Peace. See you on the other side someday, Cynthia

Shane J. Lopez is one of my favorite professor in Positive Psychology.I read most of his works. I just learned of his death one year ago.It was a great pity !

Dr Shane Lopez was a inspirational psychologist who brought to light the concept of hope in such an endearing manner with the introduction of a new form of questionnaire to highlight the psychology of hope. I was much inspired by his book Making Hope happen it was a insight into the area hope. May god bless his soul and his research be implemented for the betterment of mankind.

Shane is the reason I tie hope into so many of my presentations for the University community. His legacy is how he enhanced hope in all of us.

I am heart-broken to learn of the passing of Dr. Shane Lopez. He blessed us with the sharing of his passions & research. I want to thank his family for sharing him with the world.

I have met so many people that have told me about what a difference Shane made in their lives. His kindness, compassion, and care for others are a huge part of his wonderful legacy.

I first heard Dr. Lopez speak in February 2016 when he was speaking at the Lawrence Public Library's staff day. His presentation was so inspiring and illuminating, and I have shared his ideas about hope and how libraries can serve as hope hubs in their communities with many colleagues throughout the public library world. I am heartbroken over his death, and I only hope that I can honor his memory by serving as one of his many ripples as well. Much love and hope to his beloved family and friends.

Shane Lopez was generous, prosperous, influential and kind. A lifelong friend to the end. He is missed.
