  4. I have so many memories and hearing of Shane’s passing brought them all rushing in a flood of tears. Shaner, you were a wild card through and through, we never knew exactly what you would do next. Although it was never dull or boring. That childlike character I’m sure will live on in your beautiful children.
    Fast cars, loud music, a Doberman and a beer in your hand…. I hope that’s your heaven brother, I know ya wouldn’t want it any other way!
    Fly high and rest easy my old friend, you’re already missed and will never be forgotten!

  5. My first memory of you was being swaddled by your Momma in a baby blanket and her placing bed pillows around you so you didn’t roll off the bed. We had so many great times together growing up, then having our babies. You were taken too soon. May you rest in peace brother. My prayers go out to the Holten family and all those who loved Shaner.

  6. You and Jamie used to watch my boy Thomas Broderick when he was a little boy. We loved you and you always brought smiles to our faces. You will be missed by many. RIP Shane Holten until we meet again

  7. 12. “Dear God, I lift up my friend who is mourning the loss of a loved one. I pray that You bring them comfort amidst this painful event. We hold on to Your promise of walking with us through the darkest valleys of our lives and I know we are not alone, especially during this difficult time. With this condolence prayer, I pray that my dear friend’s heart is soothed as they find strength in You. Please watch over them and take away their anguish so that they may see Your light at the end of the tunnel. I pray that they do not lose hope as they grieve, for You have great plans for them amidst all this pain. Protect their heart and mind with Your peace, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  8. it breaks my heart that there was soooo many flaws in this obituary… my dad wasn’t born in November he was born December 20th. you guys included more of your family then you did of his own . i appreciate the thought of “wanting to help “ but i wish you guys would of left it too his kids … even after he passed you guys really hurt his kids and not only that called us names and acted like we didn’t matter .. had a balloon let off and didn’t even invited or include his kids for in anything … made up lies and everything else … i wonder if there anyway i can get a new obituary .. i hope it’s not too late …
