I realize there's no good way to find out bad news like this. I made about 25 calls to brothers & friends yesterday. As our network of college friends spreads out further each year, it's harder to keep in touch with everyone. So I apologize if you find this medium as impersonal for news like this.
Many of you know that Shane had a difficult struggle ahead of him after his motorcycle accident the Fri. of Memorial Day weekend. He was headed from Milw. to party with friends near the WI Dells.
It was definitely a somber weekend at the cottage. Shane would've been the first one to raise a glass, so we tried to have fun in his honor.
In true Shaner style, he battled hard for two weeks against amazing odds. The doctors & staff at UW Hosp. did great work to give him the chance to fight.
I would think funeral arrangements will be in the WI State Journal on Mon. (wasn't posted today) or Madison.com
His sister Kotti was posting daily journals of his condition at Caringbridge.org (his page is listed under "theshaner"). Kotti didn't let on to how serious some of his injuries were. She wanted to keep the blogs positive.

Rest in peace our brother
