Shane has always been a good friend, and brother in law. I am grateful for each and every time I got to spend with him; always making sure I was fed with his wonderful cooking and hospitality. Shane always blessed others making sure our needs were met. I remember him going out to exercise and throw the ball for Sasha, and playing pool in the garage with a cold brew. Shane, thanks for being apart of my life 

Shane how you will be missed . I started cutting your family’s hair when your kids where small and over the years you guys pretty much became family , the jokes and the smart comments always made me laugh  But the thing I remember most is your smile you were always so positive and always had good advice for me. You and Jolene were a safe place for me . I moved to California and was so bad about about keeping in touch but know I still cherish everything you and your wife did for me  even the simple hugs when I would see you guys walk through my salon doors. Angels have wings so don’t forget to visit and all see you when it’s my time to cross over . Jo lean , Kayla and Robert my arms are around you and I’m sending you big hugs ❤️

It was awesome to be able to see the photo memories and read the posts. I hope more of will be able to share. Love you all. Miss you Shane!!!

I was 12, I believe when Shane began sharing his life in our family. As a young man with a jazzy doo sharp features and a brilliant smile he bedazzled my sister into sweet dates that got her into trouble for being five minutes late, resulting in grounding but a stronger bond with Shane than ever. 
   Shane stood shorter than his father who had very dark hair a more rounded face big juicy smile that lit up Bob's features as it came from the heart, a father with passion for his son Shane who he worked in the restaurant with.  Bob loved his two other sons with just as strong a passion, but I am here to talk about Shane.
   When Shane lost his father he lost a big part of himself that didn't heal for a great many years though he tried to hide it. He pulled up those energies and gave them to surviving his transplant and devoting his be own life to his family. 
  I can only attest as a casual onlooker as I have to spent very little in time with him being so far away.
   My heart goes out to the whole family for their loss of a gentle, well meaning, devoted dad, and caring husband.  
   May you Shane, find what your heart searches for, may Gods joy kiss your brow in rejoicing at your homecoming. I know God has forgiven your weaknesses , and may  you draw on his strengths while you watch over your in family. May God's angels guide you throughout eternity. Much love to  you Shane, you will be deeply missed!!!

I had a lot of good times with Shane 
Whether it was just cruising around with some tunes playing and running errands, or watching basketball in the living room quite literally over confidently losing my shirt to him on a bet over a game he knew far more than I did about. Shane also really tought me an appreciation for cooking. I remember being fascinated by his abilities in the kitchen when I was younger and aspiring to make some of the same great meals he did. When I was young and dumb and didn't really know much about life he was there making me feel welcome and have a good time. Much love and many thanks. 

Such a wonderful son that I was blessed to have. He was a very gentle man, always kind and considerate. He never judged people, but was was a man of great acceptance. I admired him and his gentle manner. He was definitely a gift from God!      
 Love, mother



Shane..  you and your family were always amazing to me. Your family always showed me love and cared so much about me. I can’t thank you enough for all you did. You raised a daughter that still to this day means so much to my family and I.  Thank you for all the blessings, memories and laughs..  you will be greatly missed
