Shane Barber Obituary
Shane was born June 12, 1976 in Chillicothe to Brenda Murray Barber Fee, of McArthur, and the late Gary A. "Max" Barber.
He was employed by the Osmose Company as a utility pole inspector. He was a 1995 graduate of Vinton County High School, where he enjoyed playing football, basketball and baseball. He treasured the time he spent with his friends. He was an avid fan of the Cleveland Browns and The Ohio State Buckeyes. Shane enjoyed fishing and hunting and had a love of music including The Doors and Hendrix. Shane had a love of dogs and his favorite was his loyal friend, Sage.
Shane is survived by his sister, Missy (Ryan) Caudill and nieces, Karis and Adelyn Caudill; the love of his life, Crystal Shumaker, and her two sons, Jayse and Liam, whom he made his home with. He was also survived by his mother and Robin Fee, stepfather.
Shane has so many special cousins along with loving aunts, uncles and friends. Shane always treasured his relationships and the ongoing love from Marsha and Jared Collins, TJ Stickel, Chris Osborne, Andrea Williams and best friend, Andy Pauley.
Besides his father, Shane was preceded in death by his grandparents, Max and Jill Barber, Ronald and Annabelle Murray and dear friend, Walter Mahon.
Funeral services will be held Friday, June 14 at 11 a.m. in the Garrett-Cardaras Funeral Home, 201 W. High St., McArthur, with the Rev. Dr. Walt Goble officiating. Interment will be in Elk Cemetery, McArthur.
Friends may call at the funeral home on Thursday from 5-7 p.m. The family suggests memorial contributions be made in memory of Shane Barber to the Vinton County Athletic Boosters, c/o Vinton County National Bank, 112 W. Main St., P.O. Box 460, McArthur, OH 45651.

Although I am far away, my heart was close by. I wish I could have been there to hug you all in person. Please know my thoughts have been and continue to be with you as each day passes. We spent a lot of time together in our younger years. I love a person with a good laugh and that is something Shane definitely shared with everyone.
Sending love and strength your way,

So sorry to hear of Shanes passing. My heart breaks for you Brenda and Missy and everyone who loved him. Even though Shane and Is relationship didnt work out, I always cared about him and wanted the best for him.
I will forever be grateful for Shane bringing Cinnamon and Sage dog into my life. Without Shane bringing Cinnamon into my life, I may not have become the pit bull advocate and Momma I am today. Im grateful also that Shane had so much faith and love in me that he trusted me to care for Sage the last seven months of Sages life. It gives me peace to know that Shane is reunited with Sage, Cinnamon, his grandparents, his Dad and his best friend Walter.
One day we will all be reunited again. ❤
