Help Shane Portsmouth have a send of he deserves!

My name is Damon, I'm an old child/teenhood friend of Shane's,

When I found the news about Shane's passing it really took me by surprise but people suffer in silence and such a thing would surprise most. I couldn't believe someone who I knew and was so close to growing up, had these demons growing in him. He's left his beautiful children and his beautiful family behind but he will always be in their hearts and only a memory away.

I'm asking on behalf of the family with Tracey's permission for a donation big or small to help with funeral cost for what you can imagine to be such a shock and difficult time let alone having to deal with the cost of the funeral.

I know he's touched the hearts of so many people so please, let's give him the send of that he deserves.

I was very fortunate to have been friends with such a genuine and a one of character, he would often say it how it was and that may have made him some enemies but would also bring him some special friendships. I only speak for myself here but I know that others feel the same, when we was younger there was no sad days there was no down days we lived life to the max! I don't recall a sad day spent with him. If you know Shane then you know he's no angel but you also know he would be there if you would ever needed him. Unfortunately our lives drifted apart as we both moved on and had children of our own but would often bump into eachother when out and about he would tell me about his kids and all the proud daddy talk! I can't tell you how much he loved and adored his family from mum to siblings to his children, it was clear to see from anyone.

He will be terribly missed by so many people!

Please send your love and heart felt messages to the family as I'm sure they will love to hear the love and support from you all.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and may Shane remain in our hearts forever and always ❤️
