Setting our Shane "Golly" Howchow free...

Last week, we tragically & unexpectedly lost an extremely beloved son, father, brother, partner, uncle, nephew & friend to many, Shane Howchow aka "Golly".

We are all in shock as we try to make sense of & navigate our way forward through this devastating news..

The family have pulled together & are working hard, through heartache & tears, to put together a beautiful farewell; a celebration of Shane's life & send off with his new angel wings...

The costs are adding up quickly, putting additional pressure on the family during an already difficult time.

They would be extremely appreciative if the financial burden was eased, allowing them to focus on grieving & saying goodbye without the stress of excessive funeral costs to cover.

* MESSAGE FROM MARIA - Shane's Mum *

I would like to thank everyone that has donated.

Shane was my 1st born. He was a cheeky & mischievous little boy - if he could blame someone for what he'd done, he would.

Shane grew up & put his hand to many things, settling for painting which he did a bloody good job!

Shane had 2 boys of his own, yet he would be a dad to any child who gave him a chance.

I dont think Shane knew how many lives he touched in such a good way.

I want people to understand the type of person he was. He gave the best hugs & when he was around, you felt safe.

Thank you again everyone!

Shane, I am going to miss you so much.

My heart is broken.

Fly free my angel till we meet again.

I love you so so much.

Mum 💕

PS Visit me in my dreams so I can hug you!
