Shane Christopher O'Connor

Today we come together to remember someone who meant so much to so many of us- our dear friend Shane. If we had to describe him in just a few words, I’d say he was generous, loving, caring, kind… and very funny. He had that way about him where he could make you feel comfortable, looked after, and smiling, all at once.Shane was a light in all of our lives, as had a deep faith in Jesus Christ, and every day he would pray—not just for himself, but for all of us too. His life was grounded in God which guided him to share, hope and faith so beautifully . We will always remember him as a good Christian, a devoted friend, and a person who prayed for us all with an open heart. Shane was someone you wanted to take care of, because he took care of people in his own way too. He had a warmth about him that you don’t come across every day. The kind of person who leaves a mark on your life without even trying. Even though it’s incredibly hard to say goodbye, I feel lucky to have known him, to have shared those moments, and to have memories that will always stay with us.Shane, you’ll be deeply missed, and always remembered and the quadrepeglic cdntre is nothing without you. Because you love Jesus, you will not be resting in peace but enjoying abundant life in the kingdom of gods- messiah.We love you shane Love tess and karen ❤️
