Thoughts and prayers to your family. Shane and I were in many classes together during our years at Platte County including our last two at the VoTech taking Building Trades where we learned and put those skills to work for our community in PC. You will be missed by all those who loved you. RIP my friend.

Shane is like a son to me and I have always treated him like one of my sons.
I always told him to watch his mouth when he was cussing or I would slap his mouth.
He didn’t say much after that.
Shane we all will miss you so very much.

I was very good friends with jenna the majority of my life so her family was always like a second family to me, and her dad was always so nice to me and it’s so sad that he is no longer with us. My whole family wishes the best for yours and I hope you are all getting through this and staying strong.

Shane was an artist and a perfectionist at anything he set his mind to. And was literally one of the most honest people I’ve ever known. I think about him every time I see his handy work around my house and my business. He is gone way too soon I will never forget him.

Shane, you were an amazing person. You have helped me when I needed someone during the most difficult times. You’ve been such a good friend to me. I knew you were lost at the end. I wish I could have said or done more to get you help. You’ll always have a place in my heart. Love you bro. Always n forever! – Alex
