Shane was born on October 27, 1983, to the late Ronnie Lavon and Brenda Lee Parker Creech. Shane was a proud graduate of the Geneva High School Class of 2002, where he played football and formed lasting memories with classmates, and teammates. He carried that same enthusiasm into his everyday life, especially when it came to football. Shane enjoyed watching the Alabama Crimson Tide play, and he followed the game with great interest and excitement.

Shane loved being outside, where he found peace and purpose in hunting, fishing, and working with heavy equipment. He also loved helping coach and watching his children play ball, and he found great joy in being present for their activities and accomplishments.

Shane also demonstrated extraordinary love and loyalty through the care he gave to his family members during times of illness. Along with the help of his wife, Stephanie, he helped take exceptional care of his grandmother, father, and mother when each of them became sick and could no longer care for themselves.

Shane is survived by his wife, Stephanie Creech of Geneva, AL; one daughter, Sheyanne Creech, and one son, Sawyer Creech both of Geneva, AL; one sister, Kerry Revell (Chris) of Prattville, AL; special cousin, Tiffany Turner (Mike); and a special great uncle, Lloyd Smith (Charlotte); and several uncles, aunts, cousins, extended family, and a host of friends.

Serving as pallbearers will be Chris Revell, Josh Spicer, Brian Retherford, Steven Norman, Jamie Norman, and Chris Coleman.
