I think of Shane often when I´m in Herrin. Especially north of Herrin where I use to pick him up on the school bus. Was such a gentleman and very well mannered. I know his parents and family miss him. A great guy he was. So sorry even yet for his parents and family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. He was always an inspiration to everyone and if he could overcome and always smile with the things he had to go through, we had nothing to complain about and our problems were really small compared to his . We will miss you buddy and we are grateful for the time God gave you here on earth for a reason if only to inspire others and make peoples day .

I´m so saddened and sorry to hear of Shane´s passing. I was his school bus driver for a number of years. Always would speak to him when I seen him out with his parents after he graduated. He was such a sweetheart and always treated me with respect. Was such a blessing. Know that I am praying for his family. I loved Shane. He made my day many times on the bus.
