We will forever remember the boy with the twinkle in his eyes and the captivating smile, 
and the charming, handsome man he became. 
He will be forever loved and deeply missed by his parents; Barbara and Roy Eschner, his Uncle Cliff Eschner and his son Brendon Lee Eschner.
 Shane was 34 yrs old. Born December 5th, 1973, in Mission, BC.

He left his earthly bonds to soar with the angels on March 29th, 2008.

There was nothing ordinary or conventional about Shane. He danced to a drummer only he could hear.

As a child he always wore a smile, waking up each and everyday announcing ‘wake-up, it’s a bright sunshiny day’, 
even if it was still dark outside, cloudy or raining.

He loved boats, fast cars, motorcycles, art and all types of music.

By the age of 3 he was under the car with his dad and he could tell you the name of every tool and it’s use.

He continued his love of cars into adulthood. One of his most prized possessions was an older t-bird, he was restoring.

Despite his tough guy exterior he was kind hearted and loved all animals from puppies to lizards.

When we lived on the farm, Shane brought home a baby chick to raise. That chick thought Shane was his mother and followed him everywhere!

His cat ‘Gretsky’ would walk him down to the road to wait for the school bus in the morning, and when he could hear the school bus returning at the end of the day, he would race back down to welcome Shane home. That's love!

Shane would always jump to help anyone, anytime of the day or night.

Shane lived his life exactly as he wanted no matter the consequences. He was true to himself.

He had a wonderful sense of humor and was quick to hand out good-natured teasing to the people he loved.

Shane was affectionately known as “Captain Poopy Pants”  to his closest friends.

Shane loved to work with his hands. He took great pride in being able to fix or repair anything. 
Kristie said he would stand back and look at his work and proudly proclaim “ I do good work, just like my dad!”

Shane was always the first to act silly, in an infectious manner, sweeping up everyone around him.

He had an enormous reparatory of ‘secret code words’ that only the people he held closest in his heart could understand.

Shane lived his life with one foot planted outside the law and the other planted in ‘the Land of the Invincibles’.

All a parent really wants is for their child to grow up and find happiness. Shane seemed to finally have found his in the life he created with his Princess, Kristie Lee, in their concrete castle, at the edge of the forest.

Kristie Lee passed away, in a single vehicle accident, three short months after Shane. May they find joy together in heaven, as they did on earth.
