He was a quiet man who loved music, the outdoors, and, most of all, his daughter Fiona.

Memories of Shane's Life
In His Wake for Shane I remember the old western movie - the plot has been forgotten - but at the end you hear the voice of a small child crying Come back, Shane. I don't know what to believe about the existence of God, but just before two o'clock on April Fools Day the rain departs - the sky opens to sunshine at the country home of his father - in the back yard the fire pit beckons, holding court in a pageantry of warmth, family and friends gathering to celebrate a life - joyful moment meant to reunite grieving souls, to feed the senses and the heart, satisfy the innate need to love and to belong, for giving and for sharing with those with whom a single bond of blood and friendship so fondly brings together in a time, at a place, in a song. Happy children play in the yard, queueing up to ride the tire swing, while the adults gather around the fire pit, the fire so tenderly set by his brother, where remembrances written on pieces of paper are read aloud, then fed into the flames and I, for just a fraction of a second, become a child again. Listen. You can hear my voice, just like in the movie - Come back, O come back, Shane.
