Shane Edward Schon, a beloved son, brother, father, and friend, passed away on July 8, 2023, at the age of 46. He was born on March 25, 1977, in Williamsport, the place he called home throughout his life.
Shane had a fulfilling career as a truck driver for Lyco Hot Shots, where he dedicated himself to his work. However, it was his passion for helping injured animals that truly defined him. Shane had a special love for pets and went out of his way to assist animals in need. He also found joy in watching the show "Gun Smoke" and other old westerns, which transported him to a different time and place.
Additionally, he enjoyed lending a hand on his uncle's farm, driving tractors, and coaching flag football for Williamsport Youth Football for two years. Shane had an undeniable love for driving, finding solace and freedom behind the wheel.
Shane is preceded in death by his father, James Moore, his maternal grandparents, Charles and Maria Schon, his paternal aunt, Jacqueline Jett, and his close cousin, Billy Schon.
He is survived by his son, Caelen Schon, and his daughters, Serenity of Dunmore and Samiya Schon, all of whom meant the world to him. Shane is also survived by his mother, Sarina Schon, brother, Mark (Colleen) Keiser, and his sisters, Teresa (Gerald) Ross, Monique Keiser, Leanne Hillman, and Michelle Moore. His maternal uncles, Wilhelm (Kim) Schon and David (Mary) Schon, as well as his paternal aunts, Barbara Allen and Velna Grimes, a fur baby, Snoop and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, also mourn his loss.
