Not sure what to say?





I am very sorry for your loss, I had no idea that he had passed. At the very same time I was on the operating table in dire straits in El Paso from an infection that nearly took my life. My sister was with me and I assume she did not know as well. We are again very saddened at his passing. Cameron and Patricia Clark, Jackie Colson and families.

I just learned of Shane passing Shane and I were friends through High School and eventually College Roommates in Grand Junction. I will always remember him for his tenacity, never quite spirit and quick wit. I'm deeply sadden by his loss. I wish I would have stayed in touch more. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
He will be deeply missed.

Seciel, Linda, John and family, You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. I am so thankful for all of the year's that Shane and I were friends, as well as being able to play a role in his professional care over the years. He had the best smile, a very special heart, a wonderful fun personality, as we loved to give each other grief and tease one another as much as we could! Please know that I greatly appreciate you letting me be a part of Shane's life, as well as you always treating me as family. Shane is now doing everything he loved to do with our Lord, and enjoying it all pain free!! Sending you all Love and hugs!! Love, Carol
