Shane Merritt Obituary
Shane was born in California but enjoyed all the seasons of Colorado. He loved playing in the snow in winter, running through the sprinklers in the summer and raking leaves with his dad in the fall.
Blessed are those that saw the smile on his face, the twinkle in his eyes, the laughter in his voice and compassion in his heart.
Remembered always by his father Jaye, who he shared endless hours with working on cars, mother Pamela who shared his passion for cooking, his brothers Spencer and Sean who shared his love of computers.
Shane's angel wings will forever be wrapped around his son Blake, guiding and protecting.
A private service will be held by his family.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
