Born in New Bedford, the son of Kenneth and Diane (Marchessault) Taber, he was a lifelong area resident and was a 1987 graduate of Bishop Stang High School. He attended the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth where he earned a degree in Criminal Justice.
Shane was an Automobile Salesman for several dealerships throughout the area for over 20 years. Prior to that, he worked as a Corrections Officer for the Massachusetts Department of Corrections in Bridgewater. He enjoyed football and was an avid San Diego/ Los Angeles Chargers Fan.
In addition to his parents of New Bedford, Shane is also survived by his sister Kelly Chasse of Acushnet, Patrick Chasse of Acushnet; his niece Alaina Chasse; his nephew Nathan Chasse and several aunts, uncles, cousins and many good friends.
Private services are in the care of the Rock Funeral Home in New Bedford and a Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date once restrictions have lifted on large social gatherings. Shane’s family is grateful for the many relatives and friends wishing to make in-person expressions of kindness and support, however because of the pandemic all are urged to express their sympathy online through this website. Thank you!
In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring Shane's memory by making a donation to Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue (ygrr.org).
