Shane YATES Obituary
Much loved father of Layla and partner Brock, and Montanna. Cherished son of Henry (dec.) and Zita. Loved brother, brother-in-law and best mate of Gary and Karen, Dean and Kym. Loved uncle of Cassie, Cameron, Zoe, and Bella.
Shane was a champion family man, friend, supporter of others, sports lover, race caller, journalist, sports administrator and loyal Tasmanian.
He fought a tough and brave battle.
He has gone from us but we are pleased he is now with his beloved dad.
After a very busy and full life, may he now Rest In Peace.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a private service for Mr Yates will be held on WEDNESDAY, June 3, 2020 at 1:30 p.m. A livestream will be available at

I have fond memories of the times during our years at school. Even though Shane was a little older than me we had some fun times. I have never forgotten Shane's version of "Rubber Ducky" at school speech nights, he was quite famous for it at the time. Condolences to his family, may he rest in peace.
