Dear Shane
Twitter will be a lesser place without you there. You are a constant reminder of how lucky most of us left behind are.
May your family be comforted by the knowledge that your many Twitter friends will long remember you and the lessons you imparted. Rest easy and fly high and free for all time.

Dear Shane I have loved our communications and all your valued comments about so many different things
You are in heaven now but it is our loss of you in our lives every day
Even though we never met I cried to hear you had gone from us 🌿November 06, 2022 2:30 pm
Shane, I will miss your humour and compassion but I am happy your suffering is over.
Thank you for your wisdom and the real work you did every day to make others more aware of different perspectives and different experiences of life.
Thank you for the bravery you showed every day when confronting the reality of a situation that would have broken so many of us.
Thank you for teaching us about the essential need for dignity and peace of mind for all of us.
Thank you for being my friend.
I miss you and I hope that one day we will collide again amongst the mysteries that follow our lives here on this fragile little globe.

Courage, dignity, and humanity - with a sprinkling of larrakin.
Never got to know you in person, but always checked on twitter.
May your longest sleep be gentle.November 04, 2022 8:18 pm
You were courageous to the end and though we didn't agree on everything, we had a resilient twitter friendship and passion for wanting a better world for those with disabilities and chronic medical conditions. Your advocacy on giving people the choice to approach death with dignity and end of life choices was influential. Your twitter activity was noted by both the Project and QandA with numerous promotions of your tweets. You entertained us all through your battles with tube exchanges in spite of your pain with delightful trivia and memorabilia. Your passing leaves a hole in the feeds of many on twitter. I know you are free from pain now and your spirit will inhabit a better world but memories of you will linger on as you touched so many lives.

Shane . I only knew you on twitter, and then only for a short time. What a light and joy it was to know you just that little bit. Rest in peace m8.
To family and friends of Shane. We will miss him, but hold him in our hearts. It was a privilege to be a small part of his journey. Vale ShaneNovember 04, 2022 12:13 pm
My dear friend, Shane! I've been thinking of you so much since I read the news that you had passed, and I realized just how much those little conversations we had meant to me. Simple words and talks that just seemed to meld in with my day, like it was meant to be. I never got heavily into politics with you, and you always respected that. I say goodbye to you today, but I will often think of you, and you will always be a part of my life, because I treasure your gentle ways and your inner strength that makes me proud to call you ....Friend. Goodbye Mate, rest easy.
.....November 04, 2022 12:11 pm
Shane was much admired by all who knew him on Twitter. It was a privilege to follow him there and hear his story. You must be so proud of how he lived his life. Deepest sympathies to family, friends and all who knew and loved him.

November 04, 2022 10:18 am
Dear Shane, we knew each other briefly in the scheme of things, but it seemed like a lifetime. You taught me to be more tolerant, patient and humble. I'll try harder to live up to your standards. I'm relieved that you are now flying free and (as you said) have left your body behind. Until we meet again angel.... Jez 💚

Dear Shane, my Twitter mate, thank you so much for being you. So many good memories, our excitement when we got tweets on QandA, innumerable conversations via Twitter, your words of wisdom and so much more.
You educated so many of us about life and shared your experiences so openly,.

My deepest sympathies to your family and friends.November 03, 2022 7:49 pm
Your kindness in sharing your journey your strength & dignity were an inspiration Shane; you are missed.
November 03, 2022 6:45 pm
Shane I remember we "met" on FB during a discussion about ostomies. I'm glad I gave you the courage to talk more about your ostomy. We shared a dislike of hospitals and the lengths we would go to, to avoid them
You were an advocate for all with disabilities and a teacher for those without. You were an inspiration (and yeah I know it's THAT word) to so many including myself.
I'm so happy you did things your way and are no longer in any painNovember 03, 2022 1:04 pm
Dear Shane’s family, Sara, and all who knew and loved Shane, will miss Shane’s special tweets, late at night when most were sleeping, Shane’s honesty and fearlessness in his journey, the sharing of random old days pictures brought back so many memories of growing up, I’m sorry I never met him, hope he’s having all the chicken nuggets he can eat! sincere condolences to everyone in life he touched, thank you for sharing him with us. Much love, ‘amn023’ Twitter friend xx
November 03, 2022 9:41 am
Shane was forthright and honest. He showed a courageous and pragmatic insight into his illness and never shied away from facing the inevitable. He faced each day with bravery and strength. Even in times of pain and discomfort, he embraced humour and shared the lighter side of life with his beloved Twitter community. I loved seeing him take joy in the small things like a pack of frozen juice treats, a box of chicken nuggets or a precious moment of joy on a seaside holiday. He was a kind and gentle human and the world is poorer without him. My heart goes out to his loved ones. Fly free Shane.
November 02, 2022 3:36 pm
You negotiated and taught the world well, Shane. A very intelligent man. Thoughts are with those close to Shane, especially his Mum, who helped him through so endless difficult health and pain crises while focussing on his quality of life.

October 29, 2022 10:34 pm
Brave til the end. You did it with a style and flair uniquely your own.
I wish I was half as brave.
Greatly missed and not easily forgotten.
Rest easy now mateOctober 29, 2022 7:07 pm
Oh Shane. We never met in person but over the last several years I feel I got to know you. What a beautiful soul, caring, compassionate and always uniquely you. I loved your quirkiness but mostly I adored your honesty. And your courage in facing the inevitable. I've learned not to be so afraid from you. When the spiders were appearing you took it in your stride. When we were fed up with the pandemic you started your guess what this is tweets. I miss you so much already. You were loved by me. So glad we were able to get you on that last holiday with Sara. So long our QandA tweet champion. Man, myth, Melmacian. I'll never see ALF or a green heart without remembering you.
October 29, 2022 5:34 pm
Fly high Shane. Your Twitter family will miss you. Thank you so much for having the courage to share your journey with us. Rest easy.
October 29, 2022 5:01 pm
A man I never met in person but who touched my heart and my sole. His courage in sharing his journey lifted me out of my fears and gave me the strength to deal with my own journey. I would have loved to have met him face to face so that I could thank him with a hug.
October 29, 2022 4:53 pm
Sadly missed already - have a great afterlife! Your quick wit will ost certainly be missed by many
October 29, 2022 4:14 pm
Vale, Shane. You were kind, warm and inspiring. The world is a poorer place without you. Condolences to your family, you will be greatly missed.
October 29, 2022 1:59 pm
It was my privilege to know Shane on Twitter, and that platform is all the poorer for his absence. He was a man of remarkable good nature, good humour, unassuming courage, and indomitable spirit. He bore his health problems with grace and resilience, focusing always on what he could do best which was to connect and engage with other people and to care about the state of the world around him. I am very sad at his passing but full of respect at the grounded and clear-sighted way he did it on his own terms. Truly a brave man. I was lucky to know him. I would like to pass my sincere condolences onto his family and friends.
October 29, 2022 12:06 pm
Farewell Shane, You are already missed by many of your Twitter mates, you inspired us all right to the end.
October 29, 2022 11:54 am
Go gently 💚 Thank you for teaching me so much about how to face leaving this mortal coil with dignity and humour! You will be greatly missed.
Condolences to your family 💚October 29, 2022 10:42 am
I only knew Shane on Twitter. Like many others I’m guessing, I followed him as an act of kindness only to discover that it was I who gained the most benefit. He modelled gentle assertiveness as he made his intentions clear regarding his health, was generous with his knowledge of kidney disease, death and dying, and was determined to find joy in every day in spite of the pain and disability he was experiencing. Shane was a true gentleman and I will miss him dearly.
October 29, 2022 10:26 am
My deepest Condolences to Shane’s family and friends.
Through example, Shane has taught me valuable lessons in humility, kindness and how to face the future with courage. I will miss his presence on Twitter. Journey well, until we meet again among the stars, Shane.October 29, 2022 10:22 am
Ii shall look for a new star in the sky. Travel well into the next dimension. Your bravery gave us all strength, thank you.
October 29, 2022 10:06 am
I hope when it’s my turn, that I can do it with half of your grace and composure. You will be missed.
October 29, 2022 9:10 am
RIP dear Shane, rest easy, no more pain!
October 29, 2022 8:47 am
Rest In Peace Shane. I often marvelled at how you kept going through so much pain and still managed to enjoy your time with us. I loved our chats about autism and how I could be the best mum of my asd adults. Sad to see you leave but you did it on your terms. Love and strength to your beautiful warrior mum and all who knew and loved you. 💚💚💚💚
October 29, 2022 8:05 am
Although we never met, in many respects we did meet.
A brave soul and inspiration who fought a brave fight & won on his own terms.
A whole new world awaits.
Fly high mate.

There is an empty moment in the mornings now, but I hope, wherever you are, that the fishing is good.

Shane, I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes as I write this. You fought so bravely and with such dignity. They say that grief is equal to the care you felt for someone and I cared a great deal about you and admired your courage and humour whilst facing great pain most days. You have taught me much about the human spirit, and for this I am grateful. Twitter isn’t going to be the same without your green hearts and Q and A tweets. Our family extends its sincerest condolences to yours. With love, the g family.

Your Twitter family is going to miss you so much, Shane. We’re losing a true friend. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Thank you for the competitions and surveys…I guess I should confess that I did cheat once and Google the strange object…but I didn’t submit a guess…I promise💞 Sending sincere condolences to your family and friends…they’ve lost a lovely young man.
Rest easy now 🌹🕊October 28, 2022 7:28 pm
You lived your life with dignity and self determination to the end. You suffered through pain and anguish whilst maintaining purpose, independence and humour in your life.
I learn't many lessons from your wise and knowing words and AM grateful to have had the opportunity to chat with you.
Life is an adventure, long or short, and you demonstrated to all those who interacted with you that making the most of our adventure isn't always easy, but that's part of the journey.
I thank you Shane and know that you will be missed.
October 28, 2022 7:17 pm
Sympathy to Shane’s family and friends. What an inspiration Shane has been for us who have followed him on Twitter. Soaring high, pain free. 🌹❤️
October 28, 2022 7:14 pm
Shane I will miss you. You were always so calm and generous in the way you helped people understand how it is to live in the world with a chronic and painful condition. You were never rude, or sharp or hurtful, instead you diverted us, and I hope yourself, from the pain with competitions and surveys on twitter. You had such room in your heart for people. We all loved you.
My thoughts and condolences for your family and close friends.

I'm so glad you were in my life even for a short time. You challenged me to think about end of life care and you did it with warmth, humour and humility. Never to be forgotten, you left your mark on so many of us who never met you in real life.
