Shane WILLIAMSON Obituary
July 20, 1963 - April 18, 2014
At home with his family, Shane died as he lived – in his garish orange Old Ottawa South Firehall Coach's t-shirt. Comfort over style – he remained true until the end. Many will recall his dry humour, his loyal friendship, his fierce love of competition and his inexplicable attachment to economic policy development and delivery. A man for whom the phrase "good enough" held little meaning, Shane's life in Ottawa saw him strive for excellence at work, on the volleyball court, on the baseball field, as a soccer, baseball and softball coach, as well as Ottawa Centre Minor Hockey Association's equipment manager. At Industry Canada where he worked for many years, Shane leaves a legacy of many friends and achievements. His service to family, community and country were recognized through his receipt of both the Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilee medals. Shane was predeceased by his father, Robert and his sister, Brenda Riley. He leaves behind his wife Karin Fuller and their three children; Jacob, Mira and Riley. He was dearly loved. Those who knew him will miss him greatly; those who did not, certainly missed out. The family will receive friends at McEvoy-Shields Funeral Home, 1411 Hunt Club Road (at Albion Road) on Thursday, April 24, 2014 from 5 - 9 p.m. and on Friday, April 25, 2014 after 1 p.m. followed by a Funeral Service in the Chapel at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, kindly consider a donation to the Hospice at May Court or the Ottawa Cancer Centre at the Ottawa General Hospital, as thanks for all of the great care and support received.

To Shane's Family and friends....I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of a fellow classmate at MDHS. I will remember Shane for his quick wit and kindness. It is unfortunate that I didn't know him better and I feel sorry and I know I am at a lost for not doing so. Rest in Peace Shane! I hope Shane's family will take with them all the wonderful memories and cherish him forever.

I was very saddened to hear of Shane's untimely passing. He was my very first director when I initially joined the Federal Public Service with Industry Canada in June 2000. Shane was one of the finest individuals I ever had the pleasure of working with and was a dear friend and mentor. He will be sadly missed but forever remembered. To his family I extend my deepest sympathies and prayerful thoughts at this difficult time.

Dear Karine and Family- we met Shane and your two dogs Freya and Libby at the Lansdowne Dog Park. We were always so happy to see Shane pull up in his car and unload the dogs because they were such good company for our dog Lenny. Over time, we got to know Shane in his soccer way when he entertained Lenny with his fancy foot work.
Out thoughts are with you all during this sad and difficult time.

Dear Karin, Mira, Jacob and Riley, Shane has been part of the scenery of the children growing up on Glen Avenue, playing soccer with OSCA, and of course, the hockey arena, for so many years. It is hard to imagine that we won't run into him tomorrow or next week. He always brought a smile to our faces with his humor and wit. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you. Sian, Owain, Holly and John.

I had the privilege of assessing a program Shane was responsible for at Industry Canada. He was one of the best "clients" I have dealt with. His humour, honesty and willingness to cooperate left an impression. To his family, my deepest sympathy.
Shane was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. He was excellent at his work and a friendly guy that was easy to like.
April 25, 2014
My Sincere condolences to Shane's family. How sad to hear of your loss. In my 38 year public service career, Shane is someone I never forgot. It was an honor to work with him.

Dear Karin, Jake, Mira and Riley,
We are so sorry about your loss. Shane was our first neighbour that we met on Windsor Avenue and we were delighted to be welcomed to Ottawa by such a lovely fellow who immediately recruited some new softball players ( us ) to play with his team. I still do a double take when I see someone roughly his age on a bike on Bank street. Generous, honest, and genuine is how we would describe him. He will be missed. He is so lucky to have had such a beautiful family and set of friends around him. Our thoughts are with you.
April 23, 2014
Karin and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I wasn't so far away and could give you a hug. My thoughts are with you. Take care!

Hearing of Shane's departure was such a shock. I last saw him last fall and although he had clearly struggled over the past few years, a shining spirit glowed through it all. As my first Director General at Industry Canada, I will forever remember Shane's witty sense of humour, his genuine curiosity about ideas and people, his ability to laugh at the silliness that only a workplace can provide, and his integrity. Shane, you will be deeply missed.
Karin, Jacob, Mira and Riley - our prayers and thoughts are with you all in these difficult times.

Shane was a very dedicated association volunteer and supportive hockey parent, both behind the scenes and in the stands. Always positive, always willing to help at any time of day with our families, coaches and managers. Every player wearing an OC jersey can be thankful for his contributions.

My condolences to all of Shane's family and friends. I had the privilege to both work (Industry Canada) and play (softball) with Shane. Kelly had also worked with Karin at CSLP and got to play one season of softball with Shane. He was a natural and passionate leader that came with a healthy dose of competitive drive. His dedication to his work and play was only surpassed by that of his family. I will remember him as a mentor, a family man and an all around great guy. He will be missed by all.
Our thoughts are with you all.

Karin and family, we got to know Shane best rink side when Ciaran and Riley played on the same OCMHA team. We ran into him there often even after he became ill and even as recently as a few weeks ago he was cracking jokes. Colette appreciated Shane's dry wit, and competence as a colleague at Industry Canada as well.
We are all so sorry to hear that he passed away. The announcement has it 100% right: those who didn't know Shane certainly missed out.
April 21, 2014
My sincerest condolences to the family.
I was fortunate to work with Shane in Ottawa, having come from Newfoundland and Labrador to work on the Knowledge Infrastructure Program. His dedication, wisdom and commitment engendered loyalty and a fierce drive which enabled the great team he assembled to achieve amazing things. I enjoyed his sense of humor and always appreciated his guidance and words of encouragement. He will truly be missed.

To Shane's family, my deepest condolences. I was a friend and colleague of Shane's at Industry Canada close to 20 years ago, and kept tabs and distant contact over the years. I wrote to him almost two years ago, and as always with Shane he went out of his way to reply and thank me for my thoughtfulness. His response was positive, upbeat and typical Shane. The world is smiling a little bit less today. He will be missed by many.

Karin and family --
This is such sad news. Shane was a fixture in the neighbourhood and around the rink, and we are all poorer for his passing. I first got to know Shane (and the family) though his involvement on the OCMHA executive. He was very patient with a new face, and always had a smile and a wry comment for me, no matter what ridiculous situation we were dealing with. We will miss him.
We are thinking of you.

Dear Karin and family,
We were very saddened to hear the tragic news. I remember well when I first met Shane standing outside of Hopewell at 3 in the morning in the freezing cold lining up for junior kindergarten. I then remember Shane as Matthew's first - and very enthusiastic - soccer coach over in the Brewer park. I will long remember my early days as a hockey coach with Shane sending me regular and detailed scouting reports of our competition. I will remember fondly the time I spent with Shane at the rink, on the soccer field or at our cottage. Our thoughts are with you,
Peter, Valerie, Matthew, Nathan and Chris
