Shane was born May 22, 1984 in Artesia, CA. He moved to live with his father and stepmother in Boise, ID. He lived in Boise between the ages 9 and 14, attending Taft Elementary and Hillside Junior High Schools and played on an Optimist Football team for NorWest Mortgage. Shane then moved to Fullerton to live with his mother, earning his diploma in 2001. He wanted more for his future and told his friends and family that he was joining the Army to serve his country and to earn money to go to college. He planned to earn his degree in Business and open his own sporting goods store. Shane was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division from Fort Benning, GA. On June 23, 2007, Shane volunteered to drive on a search and rescue mission.

Shane\u2019s loss came in selfless service to make our country and the world safer. His dedication to his country was invaluable, and he will be remembered for his generous spirit and devotion to duty.
