Shane, I still can´t believe you are not with us (physically). I know we´d still be chatting through text etc. we were so fortunate to have made a friend in you at such a young age. Many people were wealthier with the joy and laughter you brought to the world. I´m sure your parents are proud of how many lives you touched. You were a gem. Still miss you, Buddy. XO Jennie

Was thinking of you today. As I often do. Talking about you today to a friend showed her your picture and she said she can't believe how much we look alike. I pray for you and think of you and feel blessed I was able to at least get to know a little about you... wish it could have been different. Your always in my heart always special to me.

Happy Easter Brother, thinking of you today as I look forward to the day ahead with family, I wish you could have met them all, in what little time we had you made such a positive impact on my life, you helped fill a void I had felt all my life, and though there are still so many unanswered questions, I feel a sense of peace within myself I never may have found had it not been for you. I miss you and think of you you will always have a special place in my heart. RIP Brother

Woke up out of a sound sleep, thinking of you. We should have had so much more time, there was still so much more I wanted to know, in such a short time you became so special to me, We just “clicked” right from the start, you were so easy to talk to, I would give anything to have one more of those 4 hour conversations. I miss you and wish things were different. RIP Shane. I love you and miss you my brother

Judy, My heart is breaking for you over the loss of Shane. Shane was a legend and everybody knew it. He had a beautiful soul and a kind heart and he was one of our very first friends. He always had a way of making us smile even when we were upset. He loved to joke-ALL the time. It's such a shame that he's gone so soon. So many people knew him and so many love him. Rest In Peace Shane. May your love and memories live on. Judy, we will always be here when you need us. Love to you. Jennie (Chase) Brown
