I went to school with shane,I actually even graduated with him. He was full of life and so kind to all. I am glad that I had the chance to know Shane and go threw school with him. He always had a smile that would light up a room when he walked in. I remember being the new student back in TYL, Shane helped me get to my classes and even was sweet to also helped me meet some people. He will be missed, I will never forget how great of a person Shane was to everyone. To the family I am sorry for the loss of your son and brother. Never forget Shane is always with us, hes one of a kind that we all are lucky to know in our lives.

Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Shane. I can remember sitting in Karen's kitchen with him on ly lap so many years ago. He had the biggest and brightest smile then and he still does. I was not able to attend the calling hours or the services due to a sudden illness but I was thinking of all of you and said a prayer for Shane. All my love Sue "WHO" as "The Grand Pooh Bah" always called me

It is with a heavy heart that Shane has passed into God's loving embrace. I had the privilege of car pooling to and from AT&T training last year with him
. My favorite memory of Shane is, one day on our way home Shane asked me about God. We talked, and at the end of our trip that day, Shane asked me to pray with him. We did, and I had the privilege of hearing him invite Jesus into his life, and his heart. I will never forget my friend. He was a young man I felt had it all together. Rest in peace. Chane, Chane, Chane......

Dearest Beth, I can hardly express my sadness, upon hearing about the loss of your son Shane. There are no words that could ever convey enough meaning after the loss of a child. Shane had a beautiful smile, and I'm sure was loved by all who knew him. He was very blessed to have you for his mom during his all too short years here on this earth. My heart goes out to you and your family during this very sad and difficult time.
My deepest thoughts, prayers, love and concern are with you. Lori
