Shane Nicholas Fredricks Oster, 36, of Manitou Springs, CO, passed away on October 7, 2025. Born on February 17, 1989, in Spearfish, South Dakota, Shane brought a vibrant spirit to all who knew him.
Shane attended Mesa Ridge High School in Widefield, CO from 2003 to 2005. He had a passion to learn how things work and he loved to share his knowledge with those willing to learn. He loved all animals, especially cats and anything exotic. He leaves behind two beloved cats, Toru and Hotaru. He was employed in the restaurant industry for many years and took great pride in his work. Shane loved living in Manitou Springs and fit in well with the town's personality. You could catch him wearing a flower in his hair when walking around town. He was well loved by those who knew him. His warmth, humor, and generous heart will be missed more than words can express. He touched many lives and leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness.
He is survived by his adoptive father, William Oster III (Katey), his brothers, Cody Oster and Tyler Oster (Sabrina), his nieces, Thea and Evelyn, and his nephew, Walker all from Colorado Springs, CO. He also leaves behind his grandmother, Georgia Ford (Delbert), South Fork, CO, his uncle, Ron Walton (LuAnn), Farmington, NM, and his aunts, Cynthia Klaiber (Marty), Jackie Murray (Daren), and Juanita Frizzell (Richard), along with numerous cousins from Colorado Springs who cherished him dearly.
Shane was preceded in death by his mother, Karen Kay Rue Netter and his paternal grandmother, Effie Oster.
A small Celebration of Life gathering was held at Persephone Grae's Cafe in Manitou Springs. In lieu of flowers and gifts, please make a donation in Shane's honor to a local animal rescue. Wear a flower in your hair when you think of him!

"That moment where the photo became the album cover if we were ever a band"
Of the moments we will remember most- top of the list is your cackling laugh, and the hours upon hours on the pool table we bore witness to. We shared your adoration of cats, and could see the pain and sadness it caused you when they were sick. Your bad jokes were just plain bad - but somehow they were appreciated even more in a group- because they were YOUR bad jokes. You are and always will be our Armadillo family. Your picture is now in a frame on the bar (and you'll be pleased to know you were part of a small, illicit gambling circle yesterday!) Hope you're playing the best game ever up there in the heavens. We'll be keeping your memory alive here in Manitou, as long as we can until we meet again. .
