When I first read this, I thought surely not. It doesn't seem possible. But sadly, I find it's true.

 

I didn't know Shane personally, but I could pick him out in the crowd. He was Jestin's biggest supporter, and was very proud of Treavor too. It was written all over him. Even though I had never introduced myself to him, he stood next to me at the stadium at the Springfield scrimmage and struck up a conversation with my grandchild. It just seemed the kind of guy he was, to never ignore a child. It is Greenbrier's loss that this geniunely nice guy has been taken far too soon. My prayers go out to all of his family and friends.

It is truly unbelievable that Shane Pinkelton has passed away. I had wondered why his website had not been updated after the DeKalb game, and then realized I didn't see him at that game. He was a great source of information and and details on his website. http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=gbbobcats

 

Shane's enthusiasm for Greenbrier Football was priceless to watch, but his role as a leader, a father and a true man among men will be what stands out in my mind. He honestly cared about the kids around him, and helping them have drive and determination to get up and finish the game, with all they had.

 

Shane has his finished this game of life admirably. He helped better young men through coaching them in sports and giving them words of inspiration they will never forget.

 

Thank you, Shane, for what you've given us in Greenbrier and to our kids. You will not be forgotten.

I'm sorry for leaving Easton out. There's also a stepdaughter, too, I think, but I don't know her name.

 

GBCat2, I waited and waited on you to post the initial announcement, but thought it would be better to go ahead last night and let people know. Our phone rang off the hook yesterday with people calling us to tell us about this terribly sad loss. I always try to be sensitive to the children and really wrestled with even putting this topic on. But, to me, prayer is about the only thing people can offer during a time like this and I knew people would respond to this. I can't imagine. God is good, though, and will see them through if they'll just lean on Him. It still breaks my heart.

 

He was a behind-the-scenes kind of guy and will be sorely missed.

 

God bless...and thanks for posting.

5Sport, it's one of those things that takes a little time for the mind to wrap around. You are right, he was behind the scenes, but a difference maker. I am really hoping there will be a scholarship fund with his name on it somewhere in the future for Bobcat players. His name deserves to be remembered because God took a good one. It sure puts a different perspective on what's important. Right now, the only thing that will make a difference is prayer.
