Shane RICKEY Obituary

Shane LaValle Rickey was born on 10/14/1965. He unexpectedly passed away and got his wings on 9/17/2025 to fly to heaven to be with our mom, Karen. Shane was so positive, caring, loving, helpful, and funny. He always had the best stories and a contagious laugh. His lifelong passion for arcade games and collectables touched us all. Shane was a great son, brother, uncle, and friend who will not be forgotten. He is survived by his dad, Rex (Allis); brother, Marc (Kai); sister, Heather (Marc, nephews, Michael and Mitchell); sister, Laila (Dru); and many other family members. We will have a celebration of life on 10/25/2025 for close family and friends, from 1-3 pm, at the Mirabeau Park Hotel.

Everyone of us owes a death as the price for life. It's a tragedy when we pay it back too early. But still, Shane was old enough to have had happy times, and we need to hold those good times with us, as I am confident we will feel that the world was better off for him existing, despite life wanting him to return to the Earth early. Life is fragile, and therein lies it's beauty. He touched many lives and those lives are forever altered, even if minutely, by his presence. In that light, he altered the course of time, and his mark will remain for eternity.

Shane was the best of all of us. Always had a smile on his face. He was genuinely happy to see you, when you'd bump into him. I've got so many memories with him. Never a bad one. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Yesterday

So sorry to hear about Shane. Shane and I went to school together and worked at Silverlanes together. I met my future wife for the first time at one of Shanes new years parties. Thoughts and prayers for the family, so sorry for your loss.
