Nancy,
I knew Shane for a blip in time. A few years from H.S to his time on his mission. He was absolutely incredible. I know for certain that a good reason I married such a great guy is because of my friendship with Shane. He truly was the first "nice guy" I had ever really liked. And though we were just friends, I was completely enamored by him. So kind, so funny, so full of life. I think of him often. I quietly thank him often, too. Thank him for his pure friendship for a kid he graciously took to the zoo, made laugh, and helped me to stay focused through his memory to find my own "nice guy". He touched so many lives. Thinking of you and your family on this 20th year.

It has been 20 years but my heart still breaks and I am still missing you, thinking of you everyday. Love your mom.

It has been 19 years ago today and still hard to believe that you are not here. I miss hearing your voice and wish I could have seen you one more time. You are missed and loved so much. Why is it that someone who is kind, honest, sweet, have never done anything bad to anyone, perfect son, and so much more, to be taken way too soon. So much more I could say but no words to express my heartache at losing you. Love you so much. Love - Mom

Happy Birthday Shane. It was 41 years ago today that we all were in Salt Lake City and what a happy day it was when you were born. You were the best son ever and missed so much. I love you Shane. Mom
July 24, 2017
It was 13 years ago today that a shining star was taken down. Shane, you are missed a beyond words. As I see your friends having fun with their kids, I just wonder how many children you and Jayne would have had. You would have been a great dad. Miss you and love you so much. Mom
July 10, 2017
It will be 13 years since you have been gone on July 24. You are missed so much. I miss your daily phone calls, your laugh and how very kind and sweet you were. I am so glad you and Greg had a good relationship, you always said he was like a brother to you, and I know in his post that he thinks of you often (thank you Greg). My heart still aches, I miss you so much. Love you Shane. Mom

Love and miss you buddy. I think about you often and all the good times we had. I always appreciated your phone calls just to check in, can't wait to catch up again one day! As I drove down to PHX from Utah recently you were on my mind especially as I passed through Flagstaff and then Anthem.. Can't wait to take you to school on the basketball court again. Your Kings are worse than ever, you haven't missed anything brother. Love ya Shaner! Jeeps help Jeeps.

My dearest cousin. Oh how I miss you. We were the closest as cousins could get. I miss your silliness and our weekends when I'd come to visit. You were always telling me to stay away from your friends and vice versa ha ha. Heaven sure is lucky to have you and I miss you so very much.

Happy Birthday old friend. I can't tell you how many times you cross my mind. When I got in the car to go home today "Ironic" was on the radio. I smiled and remembered our trip to the zoo. :)
I actually thought about you yesterday too when I saw a show on grief. The therapist on the television was saying how we can chose to treat a premature death as the tragic death of a personality or we can accept that this beautiful soul graces this earth as a gift and when the souls mission was finished it simply went home. I hope home is treating you well. Our friendship was short but your gift was life long.

It's Been 5 years since you passed and while time has helped mend the enormous hole in my heart, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I remember everything from the sound of your laugh to the radiant glow of your smile. You are still my best friend and always will be. I love you as much this day as I ever have. All my love....

Shane- It's been 3 long years since you left us, and this is the 1st time I've been able to come back to this page. I woke up this morning and my heart was heavy, then I saw your face in my head and that smile of your's took my blues away. I have thought of you every day since you went home and I miss you more than I could ever say. Your always with me, sometimes I can even hear your laugh and it makes me giggle.I try not to think of what has been lost and the memories of the good times we shared fill my heart now.. I spoke with Jayne today and she made me smile...I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and I look forward to day when we will be reunited...I'm still your #1 FAN!!! :o)

Shane - I am at a loss for words to express how much you are missed. I can't believe you would have been 30 years old, you were a dream come true when you were born, you were the perfect son, the nicest, most considerate man, you are missed more than I could ever express. Thoughts of you consume my life, and my love for you will always be in my heart.
I love you Shane - Mom

Honey, I miss you more than words can say. I think about you with every thought that enters my mind. I pray for you and hope to see you again. The dogs are big, and they miss you. When can we see you. I would give anything for one more day, one more hug. My heart is gone, it left with you. I hope you know how much you mean to me. You are my life, my soul, my breath. You are the only person who truly knows me, I love what you have done for me, helping me find myself. I love you, and miss you and time is getting harder, the more I realize that this is my reality, the harder it is to live without you. Shane I love you.
Love, your woman-

Wussup buddy,
Just thinking about you today and thought I'd write and say hi. Miss you man. Love you and hope your enjoying yourself while your gone.
It's been over a year now and I don't think I've really admitted to myself your not coming back. I think you'd be proud of the progress I've made over the time you've been away.
Stephanie and I are expecting our 3rd baby and should be finding out if it's a boy or a girl today. Man I wish you were here.
I haven't had the courage to contact your mom since right after you left. I guess it's because I really don't know what to say.
I don't know... thinking about our childhood and the adventures we had together, makes me laugh out loud sometimes. I whish I could laugh with you now, but your not here and I can't call you where your at. So I am stuck with this void that you used to fill.
I miss you ... and I can't tell you to come home because ... because your already there.
Love you brother. I'll write you again.

Jayne, Nancy & family, all of you are in my thoughts and prayers in this time of sorrow.. Shane was one of my best friend's and probably the most beautiful person I've ever known... He touched my life in many ways, and I will forever carry him in my heart. May God help us all in this time of sadness and may we all remember that this is not goodbye, just see you later...
I'm Only In The Other Room
My Father called, and, I'm sorry I had to leave.
It's o.k. I know you love me when you grieve.
I'm now standing in glory with God, and that, you must believe.
There will be times when you'll wish I was back, but, just remember this:
I'm only in the other room,
The one my Master made for me.
I'm only in the other room,
That space in your hearts, you saved, just for me.
I'm only in the other room,
I love you each, as love should be.
There'll come a time, when we'll reunite...
It's in the other room.
by Brenda VanderWerff
Shane I LOVE YOU, and I am so grateful that God brought you into my life.. Our bond is forever and the memories of us will stay in my heart always. Until we are reunited rest in peace.

I will never forget the day I met Shane...my first day of highschool, freshman math class. He got me in trouble that day and I had just met the kid. I still have the picture that I took of him later that same day.Everyone loved him. EVERYONE. Jane-I never got a chance to meet you, but I heard alot about you and I know that Shane loved you very much. Nancy-I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget your beautiful son. It is funny, before I got home tonight and heard the news about Shane my husband, daughter and I were hiking in a nature preserve. On our way back to the truck we were going to take a rest on a swinging bench but there was a robbin perched on the back of the bench. We thought it would fly away, but it just sat there. So we gave the bench a little shove to try to get the bird to leave, but it would not move. So the three of us watched it for a little while before we decided it was time to get in the truck and leave. And as we were pulling out of the parking lot the bird finally flew away. My hhusband made the comment "that had to mean something, that robbin just sitting there like that". My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Shane. We will miss you Shane, and yes...Kindra and I will still be stealing change out of your ashtray when we meet up with you in heaven. Love Always- Tinkertoy (megan burvant-hall)

Dear Jayne,
My heart goes out to you and Shane's family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It has been my pleasure to have known Shane and to have spent time with the two of you. He truly loved you with all his heart. I have never seen you happier than when you and Shane moved to Arizona.
Jayne, you have been such a great friend to me. I love you. Always know that I am here for you if you even need a friend to talk to.

Jayne, I am going to miss all the great times we shared- our trips to the dog park, dinners at each others houses, game night, bball night and the OC nights! I am truly honored to have known Shane.. and to say that he was my good friend. He touched both Jeff and my lives forever... his smile could light up a room. I know he loved you more than anything... and those 2 little girls Zoey and Xena. In time things will get easier... If you ever need me for anything day or night.. I am here for you! I love you Jayne!
Your friend always, Kim

Dear Jayne,
I just wanted to you to know that you and all of your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you and Shane so much. Just a little experience...I will never forget when I was having such a difficult time in life and I felt like my world was upside down. I came home and bawled to you and Shane. Then, you asked me if Shane could give me a blessing. I remember the three of us in the room and the beautiful spirit that was there. That blessing helped me so much. You both have always been there for me often; just to talk, knock me out with your water pillow, give blessings, mission farewell, etc. I cherish your friendship and thank you for the influence that you and Shane have been in my life.
Much Love,
Jamie

Jayne and family, my heart has been very heavy for the past week, I miss Shane so much, I am reminded of him every day, through out the day, I see his little wink and great smile that he flashed so many times on the basketball court, our friendship was way to short, please talk to me often about him, Shane was one of those people you just wanted to be around. My deepest sympathies goes out to you Jayne, and family. We were all very blessed to know him.

Dearest Jayne,
I was introduced to Legacy.com when my brother passed away a year and a half ago. His name is Tim Larkins from Utah. His guest book is permanently on Legacy.
I thought that you might not know about Legacy... but after looking on the Legacy web site for Shane, I decided that you probably did know about it; because of the many wonderful people who wrote expressions of love and concern to you.
I just want you to know how much our family enjoyed getting to know Shane in Guatemala. What a sweet testimony he expressed in our little Sacrament Meeting there.
We love you, and pray for you in the days to come. If you have the opportunity... listen to President Hinckley's words that he spoke at Neil Maxwell's funeral. I thought of you as he spoke to Sister Maxwell and comforted her while expressing his feelings about his own recent loss of his dear sweet Marjorie.
Please know that you have a strong support group who love you very much. You're in our prayers.
With all our love,
Mark, Nancy, Tig and Peterson Family

Nancy and your extended family. I am so sorry for your loss. I have been grieving for you since I heard of this tragedy on Monday. May you know your friends are thinking of you and hoping and praying for the best and speedy and safe trip home. Although I did not know Shane, I know he meant the world to you. Sometimes we don't know why things happen but we have to trust the lord and it sounds like he needed another angel to help him out.

Nancy & Jayne - I have known Shane since he was just a little guy. I even remember the first time I met him. He must have been about four or five years old. I remember well the broken bones and trips to the ER. Shane will always have a special place in my heart. I am so sad. You are in my prayers.

Nancy, my dearest friend, I wish I could hold you tight and say this was a bad dream, but I can't, and my tears won't stop. What I do know is that Shane was your joy, a selfless, remarkable young man, a man that you could be so very proud of, a son who loved his mom and his family more than life. He will be missed each and every day, his memory cherished.

We did not know Shane very well, but the few times our paths crossed, he impressed us.
He seemed like a gentle man with a great since of humor.
I would have liked to have know him better. Because he was Dennis's son, I know he was a wonderful christian man who would be an asset to any friendship.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

I was blessed to have met Shane while serving my mission in his family's ward in Florida. I was so excited to find out he had moved into our ward in Anthem several months ago. He had a tremendous spirit about him that caused people to be drawn to him. No doubt he is using that same powerful spirit to influence others for good on the other side. He will surely be missed but not forgotten. My prayers are with his family during this time of mourning.

Shane had a gift of rubbing off on other people, his enthusiasm for the gospel and life rubbed off on me. Knowing Shane in South Florida, our group of friends grew in the gospel together. I feel blessed to have known Shane and felt his spirit.
God bless you all in this difficult time.

I did not know Shane or Dennis personally, but I did meet them the night before the accident at the Cinders. They were laughing and having a great time by the camp fire, and I was drawn to their happiness. I have thought about them every day since the accident and wondered why this happened. My heart aches for you and your family, and I pray to the Lord that he will ease your pain.
