Shane Tyler Greene

Shane Tyler Greene January 21, 1993 to January 2, 1998 The Shaneman Shane was a man of action who loved his superheroes, Spiderman, Batman, and the Power Rangers. He dressed like Batman one day, the Power Rangers the next, with maybe a Spiderman outfit in between. As one of the neighbors said, "He was the best Batman in cowboy boots that I ever saw." Shane made sure that the universe was safe from the archenemies and for that reason, he always kept a sword or two close by. He patrolled the neighborhood on his big wheel in full Viking dress, including helmet, chest armor, gloves, a sword on each hip, and cowboy boots on backwards. Of course, the handlebars were turned backwards to match his Viking horns. He was always ready for a sword fight or a gun fight. In fact, Shane's friend, Tanner, wrote in a note that he brought to the house that "One day, a long time from now, there will be some great sword fights in Heaven." His friend, Casey, on the other hand, said that "Unless there is plenty of ice cream in Heaven, Shane won't be hanging with God much." He did love ice cream, and we're sure God has plenty. He was a man of action and loved his cowboy boots. He christened his friend David's new house with black boot marks running the entire length of the stairway wall because a man of action jumps, not walks, down the stairs. Sometimes jumping feet just can't stay off the walls. Shane and his brother, Brett, had to do battle sometimes, and though he was the younger and overmatched physically, he would wait until Mom broke up the fight, then take one more retaliatory swing at his brother's unguarded back and say "That's what you get." He would always take a moment out from his superhero exploits to plant a quick kiss on his mother's cheek. Roller hockey in the street was a favorite pastime. His job as goalie and protector of the recycle bin was taken very seriously. He would practice by himself in full protective gear and if he fell, he would quickly look around to see if anyone saw him fall. John, his neighbor, would try not to notice. Shane got a lot out of life every day. The job of Shaneman the superhero on this earth was to remind all of us to live today fully with enthusiasm, protect the universe, vanquish the archenemies, punch your brother once in awhile, and kiss your mother. Precious child your are forever in our hearts. After ten long years we miss and love you! Mom, Brett, and Tyler Sign the Guest Book online obits.nctimes.com
