Dear Bisnett family,
My heart is with you. The pictures brought back so many memories. An early one stood out to me…the photo of six cousins sitting on a couch: three babies (one of whom was Shane), a toddler (Ryan), Garrett, and me. It brought back to mind those crazy and wonderful early days of baby and toddler cousins running all around at family events. It was probably rather chaotic at the time, yet I remember it very fondly. And I remember Shane when he was a kid (before I moved away), as full of energy and enthusiastic for the next adventure with his cousins and friends.
You are close to my heart today, and always,
Kim

Dear Eve and Chet,
Words can’t describe what you must be going through. We are so sorry and shocked to hear the news. We certainly got to see Shane’s warm and loving side. No matter where, he always had a hug to share. I loved seeing the prom picture. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I watched Shane grow up as I was one of his older cousins. We both basically grew up down the river from each other, waterskiing, wake boarding, boating and tubing. Those summers growing up on the river were some of the best days, it was a great way to grow up. There are so many good memories there’s too many to recount but I’ll always cherish all of them.
My heart is with the Bisnett family.

Shane was an amazing young soul that I got the pleasure to meet through my husband as they worked together, they worked together for only a few short months but it was like we knew him for years. He would always be smiling, laughing and just so happy. Going to miss his smile and hearing his jokes. May you rest in peace shane and hopefully your family will get through this as best as they can my deepest condolences are with his parents, wife, children and many friends he had

My heartfelt condolences go out to Shane’s family and friends. I was Shane’s neighbor for a year right after he and Lauren were married. The love the two of them had for each other is something I haven’t often seen in this life, it was truly inspirational. I am so saddened by the loss of such a wonderful and kind person. Love to all that Shane touched in this life.

I was so heartbroken to hear of Shane's passing. He was such a kind and wonderful guy who always had a smile on his face. His laugh and charm were absolutely contagious. I remember when I first met him I already felt like we had been best friends for years.
Not only was Shane a loyal friend but he was also an incredibly talented musician. I will always cherish the memories of us creating music together and touring the country with our band. I love you bud. RIP.
My heart goes out to his friends and family in this difficult time.
