| Shane and Cooper 9-12-15 |
Today, we learned that he passed in November 2017 of a drug overdose. We're devastated.
In 2016 and 2017, we kept emailing him, and calling or texting him to check on him. He didn't return calls. We knew he was going through a difficult time.
Shayne and his company installed our back stone patio and side walkway. We instantly liked him and befriended him and his wife and 2 little girls. We wish we got to know him better.
He and his family desperately wanted to adopt a dog, and through a rescue we work with, they adopted a sweet little Dachshund named Cooper. Cooper the Dachshund was a dog we Fostered in 2015 and on 9-24-15 he was adopted by Shayne and his family in MD after we had Cooper for just a couple of weeks. (We learned that his ex-wife and 2 girls now have Cooper).
When his family hit hard times, we helped them out at Christmas and with a few of his bills. We always tried to be there. He later went through a divorce and he withdrew from everyone. We tried contacting him to no avail. We had no way to know how he was doing, where he was living and didn't know about him getting into drug use.
Today, Tom was searching for him on-line, as we have done from time to time, and found his obituary. It was quite a shock. We had hoped that he worked through things, and settled down. He was a hard worker with a great personality. He always had a smile. That's how we will forever think of him.
Shayne was born July 1, 1981 and passed Nov. 18, 2017.

BEING SHUT OUT -

So, if you know someone using drugs or in danger of an overdose, be forceful and get them help. Shayne shut us down and didn't give us a way to contact him (since he moved out of his house and stopped answering the phone),
