Shane was our rock. Our hero. Our protector. People gravitated to Shane because he had a way of making everyone (and their pets) feel special. He was so full of life and brought laughter, lots of laughter, everywhere he went. He was adventurous. People of all ages loved him upon meeting him. He would give you the shirt off his back, even when he had nothing. He loved fiercely. His kids meant the world to him, and he was so proud of them. They brought him constant joy. His grandkids adored him and he them. They will miss Papa Shane bear hugs the most. Our hearts are broken as we mourn the loss of this incredible man.

Shane is survived by his wife, Heidi Steward; children, Logan Hagey and Connor Hagey; step/bonus daughter Ashlie Steward Dill (Josh); parents, Annette and Darl Hagey; brother, Jayson Hagey; grandkids, John-Paul, Abigail, Audrey, and Nathanael; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and in-laws; dogs, Bradley and Cooper; and cat, Ellie.
