Shane always loved the cowboy way and lived by the cowboy life. He loved his Poco and watching his girls race the clock around the barrels. An avid Bulldog fan but his boys on the field was his biggest love & best game ever played. Shane was always the life of any gathering and always down for a good time. He left this world February 21,2025 after his long hard battle against colon cancer surrounded by his family and numerous friends. just how he liked it.
