He took immense joy in sharing countless adventures with his wife and their five children, whether it was fishing, camping, or hiking. Each moment together was a cherished memory, and his love for his family was unwavering.

Shane's career journey began as a welder, showcasing his versatility and work ethic. He dedicated nearly two decades of service to Jacklin's Riverbend Commerce Park, where he was known as the "Jack of All Trades."
