Honoring Shane's Legacy: Help His Family Carry On

Our family is heartbroken to share the news of the sudden and unexpected loss of Shane Gage.

Shane was a dedicated husband, a loving father, and a great friend. He truly was a beacon of light in every life he touched, and his laugh and smile were contagious. Shane's life was one of service, courage, and a profound love for his family, friends, and community.

Shane admired his career as a Firefighter/EMT with Copper Canyon Fire and Medical, joining the district in January 2017. Shane served his community with integrity, compassion, and a genuine desire to make a difference in someone's life every day. He was the person you would want to be there for you on your worst day.

The loss of this amazing man has created a huge hole in our family and we now are asking for your help and generosity to make sure his wife Allison, and daughter Sophie have what they need to carry on in the wake of this tragedy. The funds raised from this memorial will go directly to Allie and Sophie to assist them with living costs and his daughter's future.

At this time, the family has asked for their privacy and thanks you for your prayers, thoughts, and kind words. I ask that you please consider donating what you can, big or small. Anything will make a difference for this family moving forward.

Thank you for your love, kindness, and compassion.
