Shane believed that all things belonged to the Most High, God, and he lived his life honoring and glorifying Him, in all he did.

Shane’s greatest joy was his family. Whether working, going out, or staying home (his favorite)… Shane wanted to be with his wife and (3) children.

Home was ‘his space’. Where his hair was let down, and the pressures of the world on his shoulders could be dropped.

He loved spicy food… period. We aren’t talking Tabasco sauce here – it’s all the seeds and all the habaneros, ghost peppers, and even Carolina Reapers (which he had just ordered and received the week before). If you are not sweating, then it is not hot!

Shane was an avid entrepreneur. He followed many others on social media, learning from them and enjoying learning about buying stocks, owning real estate, and working to create generational wealth. He was never stingy with his knowledge and freely offered information to all his friends, family, and everyone he met.

Shane also loved the water. He always prioritized traveling and vacationing with his family. Cruising was his absolute favorite and he enjoyed 5 cruises with his family – including taking his Mom on her first cruise! The beach was his total happy place. He aspired to own properties on every coast, and jet skiing on the open waters of the ocean was something he always wanted to do. He was good with hot weather, as long as the water was close by. Shane and Jillian fell in love with Jamaica on one of their cruises and dreamed of owning a property there one day…

Shane loved hard… and to know him was to know love. His smile will forever live in our hearts.
