Shane was a strong and devoted family man and a loyal friend. He adored and doted on his grandchildren and loved spoiling his wife with gifts. He loved his son Lewis and was proud of the father that he had become. He worked hard to be the kind of person his family could depend on and always checked in on people, when he knew they might need help. He was generous with his time and his money and had a genuine, caring and compassionate spirit. He helped others without being asked and was the kind of person who would stop and talk with his elderly neighbors and give money to homeless people and others in need. Shane had a goofy personality and took joy in making others laugh. Even when times were tough Shane could always find a way to lighten the mood. He was a comedian and his sense of humor will be missed by everyone who knew him. He was an adventurer and an avid treasure hunter.

Shane was also a photographer, he was learning to take pictures of waterfalls and loved to practice. Shane spent many years working in the satellite industry. He was proud to be self employed and worked hard to make his business a success. Some of Shane’s closest friends were made while working and he cherished those relationships. He would drop what he was doing on a moments notice to help his friends and they always did the same for him, including helping and being a great support to his wife during this terrible time. Although Shane’s time here on Earth was cut way too short, he lived a life filled with love and laughter. He struggled and endured hardships but he always persevered and came out the better man.
