Dear Judy Brian and Family,

Shane as you know meant alot to me and my family. He was always so patient and kind with my kids. We always enjoyed when Shane came around with his happy go lucky smile and a childlike excitement as to what we were going to do. I just asked my son Jack of a memory of Shane and he remembers playing hockey with him outside, Jack likely only nine at the time. He remembers how smiley Shane was on that brightly lit winter night and that he was a good sport.

I always remember a time when me jen and the kids were staying a night in gimli. The kids were likely 5 and under. It was super stormy in gimli, huge waves. Shane called that morning and I asked if he wanted to meet us for lunch. He came then after lunch we parked in front of the water with the family and Shane to watch the waves.. Both me and Shane had this yearning to go play in the waves, before we new it we were running towards the water. Jen thinking we were nuts and the kids watching with interest we ran to those waves laughing and excited, it's going to be hard to meet a pal like Shane always up for anything. You truly new how to enjoy life Shane. Your deeply missed. Allen and Family

I’m truly heartbroken Shane didn’t get more time as it was always apparent how much he loved and embraced life.

In my earliest memories of Shane I remember being drawn to the exuberant kid in the Chicago bulls jersey. I was struck by his selfless generosity, and positive outlook. I treasure the countless memories we shared growing up, exploring Summerland and getting into mischief together. I’m grateful to him for his friendship and my thoughts go out to Brian and Judy and everyone who loved him.

Shane was such a valuable leader and active member of the Summerland Golf & CC team. He could always be relied upon to get the job done, and done right. He did whatever was needed, and led by example. His energy and smile will be truly missed…❤️⛳️

Just wanted you to know we are thinking about you. Shane's smile was contagious and I remember all the fun he had at concerts with Graham and Shea.. But mostly I will remember how he would light up when you had a conversation him. The world just lost a good one.

This is so beyond heartbreaking Judy , Brian and Brent. Shane was such a big part of those fun family summers at the lake and Christmas memories. He had a great sense of humour and you could easily feel the connection he had with his family. I'll always remember the twinkle in his eyes and the beautiful smile he often shared with us. We are truly devastated for your loss and the loss of our sweet nephew and dear cousin to our girls. ❤️

was a bright spark in our family for years when the boys were young. We always knew when he was in the house because we heard unrestrained and contagious laughter. We are lucky to have known him, and remember him with a lot of love. Sending our deepest condolences to the Livingstone family. Shane will be missed.

We got to know Shane as a nice young man of nearly 19 when he and our daughter Laura met at Katimavik and fell in love. Shane was a big part of our family for 7 years. He was a lovely, quiet and kind of dreamy young man with a fun sense of humor.

Loving partner of Laura through their relationship with all the ups and downs and growing up they did together.

I remember his love of music, his dogs and popcorn. Once a day, sometimes twice , you would hear the beeping of the microwave , hear the popping and smell the popcorn and minutes later you would find Shane on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn. I always have to think of Shane when I smell popcorn. And sunflowerseeds, he nibbled through many bags of these too in all kinds of flavours.

He was also a loving and fun, goofy extra older brother to our youngest daughter Julia. He was there to support Laura and our family in the difficult time when Julia was diagnosed with cancer and when she passed away. We will always be thankful for his support.

I also remember Shane’s love of eating. Once when we were in the Netherlands for Peter’s parent’s 50th anniversary party some family member asked Shane if he spoke any Dutch he said very proud and loud: Eten, eten (eating, eating) and after that our family nicknamed hem Eten,eten.

We lost all contact with Shane after he and Laura split up in 2014 but we were deeply shocked to hear of his passing. We will always remember Shane and keep our memories of him in our hearts.

Many memories of Tyler and Shane hanging out and having fun while we had our own fun during ball games, New Years and other get togethers. He will be so missed. You know we are there for you! That was a beautiful tribute you did of him.

Shane, I have so many memories of you from our childhood at Bestamore and Bestafars lake. The childhood summers we shared are part of some of the best memories in my lifetime. When I think of you I am struck by the quality of your character that made you easy to talk with,laugh with & make elaborate productions with ( the Christmas carol performance when you stole the show!!) I remember witnessing the love our family has for you, especially during meal time when there seemed to be a special shane menu that had milk laced with drops of coffee and chicken nuggets to go with your mac and cheese. As we got older we would share music when all the cousins were together huddled around a CD player and listening and talking about what we were hearing. The bunk room, the crawl space, the dinner table, these are times with our family that I absolutely treasure. I cherish the memory of you Shane. Thank you for being a part of our lives.

Lots of good memories with Shane. He introduced me to the band NOFX who I still listen to today. Will remember him anytime their songs play.

To the Livingstone family ~ I'm so very sorry to hear of Shane's passing. He was a classmate and friend of my daughter, Nikki. He helped me very much at the Government office in Penticton after my husband Derek passed away in January 2020. He was such a polite, caring young man. My deepest condolences.

We cast the body off like a butterfly leaving the chrysalis, to fly free into the skies of the Spirit. And so you go on.

 

You've been a fine man, Shane, and my life is richer for having shared a friendship with you. I wish you great adventures into the worlds beyond.

 

And, I share the grief of your sudden departure with those of us left behind to keep your memory warm.

 

Deep condolences and wishes for peace to all of us left behind.

We'll catch up soon.
