I’m so sorry for your loss Mary & family! I spend 4 amazing years hanging out almost every day with Shane when I was living in Lucan . It was kind of hard not to sit within is company , as we lived beside each other and the laughs and the kindness he had to offer and his friendship. An amazing man he was! Always had a smile on no matter what he did! He will be missed very much !
Ryan Campbell
Growing up in Lucan, I have so many great memories with Shane. He was a wonderful man with a heart of gold who was able to put a genuine smile on anybodies face. I don’t think he should be defined by his struggles, but instead by his kindness and his generosity as he was in no shortage of those qualities. I am truly sad to hear of his passing, and I write this with a very heavy heart. My condolences go out to his family and the rest of his friends. He will be missed by many. Rest easy Bro! I know you’re in a better place now.

Max Appleman
So sorry to here of Shanes passing. Having growing up with Shane around was always good for a chuckle at times. We all know he struggled occasionally but did so with smile and a witty remark. He always had time to stop and say hello and share a quick story to make us laugh. He was a good kind hearted man. We will miss his short visits and comical sense of humor. Rest In Peace buddy.

Jean Deluce
Very sorry to hear about Shane .He will be greatly missed for sure as I can remember he helped me many times clearing the snow from my driveway & was always willing to jump out of his comfortable chair & give me a push when I got stuck in the snow! Water Street won’t be the same without seeing him around. He will be missed by many . I am sorry for your loss Mary & the Dykeman family.
Chris Nunns
Shane always gave a big wave to me when I would drive by in my service truck. I really got to know him when he would come to the Wednesday night meetings at the church. When he spoke it was always from the heart . Shane would come to the fellowship for a couple months & then I wouldn’t see him for a while, but I admired him because he kept coming back. Addiction is a disease and like other diseases not everyone beats it . But Shane you kept on trying. Rest In Peace my friend .
Hilda and Archie Appelman
dear Mary-so sorry to hear about Shane- he always looked like he was on a mission of the utmost urgency walking throughout town. He always said hello to me and addressed me by name-he will be missed-take care
Jim cook
Shane you were a friend to so many people, you had love and admiration for your family and everyone who crossed your path. Your friendship was true and I will miss so much of who you were. It was always fun to fish with you Shane, and you caught many. Our sad hearts are with you Mary, and all of the Dykman family

Shane was a good soul. It was unfortunate he had to confront those struggles in life as some of us do. I will miss Shane’s smile and stories. Always left him feeling a little better about my day. I am sure Shane was greeted by an angel.

I’m so sorry to hear of Shane’s passing . I lived on water street in Lucan for a long time and Shane was a fixture in the neighbourhood , he was always ready and willing to lend a hand or to sit a relax with a cold beer . I’m sure he’s finally at peace and sitting on the shore of his favorite lake , taking in the beauty of gods grace . Miss you bud , see you in the here after

Rest in peace Shane.

Doug Hotson
What I remember most about Shane is work ethic. Working with Shane and Paul as a teenager is part of what help define for me what working hard (and having fun) looks like. At 2:00am while I was struggling to even be awake – Shane was constantly at full speed. Shane just made the work go easier and through his example made me work harder. I’m praying for you Mary…my deepest condolences and sympathies.
