Shane was never happier than he was when riding his Harley Davidson. He owned several, through the years, and was rarely seen without a Harley Davidson T-Shirt on! He enjoyed strumming his banjo and shared his joy of cooking with through his culinary skills, ranging from crawfish boils to smoked briskets or with simpler fares of meatballs and mac and cheese. Good stuff! He became a “Drone Master”, building and flying an entire fleet of drones. He studied hard and earned his Remote Pilot Certification last summer.

And of course he will be greatly missed by friends galore! Please use this tragedy as a reason to educate and understand mental health issues and support suicide prevention. To quote Cody (his nephew) “We lost a lot of “legends” in the past year or two. Today, though, we lost another one, not a world wide famous legend but a true legend to the Harley family. Uncle Shane was a great man and didn't deserve to suffer. Uncle Shane will be a “BIG MISS” in this family and to many others. R.I.P Uncle Shane” Wade Family Funeral Home 817-274-9233
