Shane Martin
1 Sep 1977–14 Oct 2005
Shane was a wonderful son, loving brother,special uncle, and true friend. He is remembered with love and will always be remembered. You can't forget a part of you and you can't forget someone with the prescious spirit he has always had.
We miss him and think of him every minute, his friends from Holly Hill made a memorial of his parking space and visit his grave regularly. Some still call and we share our memories and pain.
He left us in a auto accident about 5 miles from home on his way to work one foggy Friday morning. Our lives changed forever. The rescue department who responded to the scene was the same station where he was a volunteer fireman.
He joined when he was 18, his senior year he was taking firefighting 101, working part time, and practicing with our gospel group 2 times a week and playing music every weekend, yet he kept his grades up and finished with no problem. He loved firefighting. They suffered just and miss him too.
He became a Mason 2 years ago and his first year was a junior officer, we are proud of him and his accomplishments.
Even with all this he always had time to listen, and help his family, and friends, or anyone in need. He never walked away when someone was hurting.
We tried to be an inspiration to him, but during his memorial there were so many people the chapel, building or yard could not hold them and everyone had a story to tell about the time or times he had helped them no matter what the problem or what time of day or night. Some were older, some middle age, some Shane's age and teenagers, and even children. He is an inspiration to me.
I love him and miss him, there are no words to tell how badly. But I know he is resting in peace, and I see him again so until then I want his memory to live on.
We Will Love You Always!!!!! Mom, Dad, your sis.'s and nephews, neice, bro-n-law's and friends.
