Shane Pope Memorial

SHANE POPE 1977 - 2023

Tragically Shane passed away in intensive care in The Royal Sussex County Hospital on 31st August 2023 after a sudden accident at home leaving all who knew and loved him in stunned disbelief.

Shane leaves behind so many who love and miss him, particularly his Dad Wayne and the entire Pope family, his two beautiful daughters Ellie and Lulu (of whom he was eternally proud) supported by their Mum Rebecca, husband John and brothers Rudy and Isaac, Grandad Jeff and Nan Avril. His heartbroken and adored partner Emma (who gave him a grin and sparkle that was impossible not to notice), her sons George and Harvey and puppy Bernie.

Shane loved his family feircely, was loyal and protective of friends and family alike and glowed at the merest mention of his princessess Ellie and Lulu.

It is beyond difficult to put into words the immensity of the loss we all feel. Shane was "sunshine" to all who knew him. Compassionate and caring with a smile and kind word for all. An eternal joker, friend, hunter, fisherman, bad dancer, worse singer, total plonker and all round life and soul of the party. He was also the first person to be there, offer help and hold your hand when needed. The care and support he gave his colleagues and the complex challenging patients he worked with was both exemplary and humbling. He left people better than he found them, leaving a lasting impression always.

By raising funds for Shane we would love his family to be able to give him the funeral and celebration of life that he so deserves. The funds will hopefully provide a memorial that we can all visit, sit a while and reflect on Shane's life and our time with him. Any remaining funding will be used to support Shane's family at this difficult time and provide financial support for his girls.

Shane is now in the arms of the angels with his Mum Wendy and brother Kevin. We wish all his family and friends peace, love and healing at this time.
