Our deepest sympathy to the entire Drury family for the loss of Shane. He fought an amazing battle, cowboying up again and again. He touched many lives with his unwavering faith in GOD, his love of life and his amazing spirit and courage. Be proud of Shane and the legacy he leaves behind. GOD Bless.
I'm sorry about your loss. Everyone that has ever know Shane will miss him greatly. God took him through a journey to let all of us know that we can never give up on him even in the toughest hours. Thank you for sharing this experience with us all so we all can learn to love God through anything. My prayers are with all of you.
Wow. It's been years since I've spoken to you guys-since the rodeo days at Central High School. A lot has changed since then. It has been my pleasure, since 1998, to tell the sports guys at our station to always watch for all of your names on the day sheets, and it was my sheer joy to watch all of you continue to ride through the past ten-plus years since high school. You have all changed a lot since those days-we all do-and I know that God is honored by the men you have become. My thoughts and prayers are with you all right now. God just got Himself a heck of a hand, and I know He has already told His faithful servant, "well done". We've done a few stories on Shane at the station in the past few years, and I'll be working at the NFR again this year, where we will probably do another. It's our honor to be able to share his story. He was always very clear about for whom he rode, and that it was all to God's glory. I hope we always accuratly reflected that. In a life cut too short here on earth, he built a powerful legacy, and God will continue to honor and use that.
Hi, I live in the panhandle of Nebraska and don't know you guys and didn't know Shane. I heard of him on TV during the finals of the PBR. What a testament of the kind of person and friend he was to everyone, especially Cory N. to mention it during the finals and speak of him so kindly. I read all of the entries on the site and was moved by them. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my sister and best friend after a lingering illness and while you are glad their suffering is over, your selfish side wants them back with you. I will hold you in my prayers.
My most heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families! I knew Shane in high school, and he touched my heart! He will be greatly missed by so many! He was such an inspiration through the way that he lived his life! It is such a blessing that he no longer has to suffer and is in a much better place waiting for his loved ones!
Remember me when flowers bloom early in the spring. Remember me on sunny days, in the fun that summer brings. Remember me in the fall, as you walk through the leaves of gold. And in the winter time, remember me in the stories that are told. But most of all remember each day - right from the start - I will be forever near, for I live within your heart.
As we begin this journey without Shane, we will never forget the ways in which he touched our hearts. Whether it was with a smile from the ground or a smile from a bull, he knew how to warm our hearts by just a smile.
Jesse and Chad, be strong for him as well as yourselves. Cherish the days you had with him and look forward to the days until you can see him again. Live the life he yearned for. I pray each day will provide you with more strength and laughter in remembering the wonderful man we all admired.
Although death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
All the best to the family, may it only get easier in the days to come.
CHAD,JESSE and THE ENTIRE DRURY FAMILY, I AM TRULY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. HE WAS A UNBELIEVABLE COWBOY AND A WONDERFUL FRIEND I WILL NEVER FORGET. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS AND GOD BLESS. JJ HILL CONROE,TEXAS
