    I use to hang out with Shane in high school whether we were out cruising the town or Shane teaching me to play guitar it was always a fun time. He was always kind to people. It was an honor to have him as a friend and he will never be forgotten. Praying for healing and guidance for his family and friends through this difficult time.

    One moment you’re doing ok the next you’re not. That being said, thank you Lord for all those years, for all those memories, not a second wasted and always remembered. You were like a brother to me and while I’m sad now; today, I know that the Lord is pouring out his love on your mom and dad and helping to carry their burden as we press onward. I love ya!

    Shane was a student in my class at Jefferson School on Johnston City. I really enjoyed having him in class. I was deeply saddened to hear of his death.

    I’ve worked with Shane since his first day at Wendy’s. I couldn’t have asked for a better co-worker. He was one of the hardest working people I’ve seen come through there. I will forever cherish the memories I have with Shane. I will always remember how kind he was, and would give you the shirt off his back. Shane was someone I could talk to, and he didn’t judge me. He helped me get through a rough point in my life. I will never forget Shane, and will be forever be grateful I got to spend the last 8 years working with a genuine great guy! Until we meet again.

    Shane was a great guy and awesome at his job here at Wendy’s. He made me laugh and even told me often that I was doing a good job. That always made my day. He was loved by his co-workers.
