Shane married the love of his life, Brenda and had two step children, Jared Clifford, Jr, and Mackenzie Santamore.

May Shanes memory live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Shane attended Portland Public Schools and later went on to work at Tim Carland Plumbing & Heating, following in his father's footsteps.
