Shane Matthew-Baker Whipkey, 39, of Butler, passed away Monday, May 25, 2020 at Butler Memorial Hospital.
He was born January 15, 1981 in Butler, the son of Dale H. Whipkey, Jr. of Butler and the late Bonnie (Sheftic) Whipkey.
Shane had an earnest desire to enjoy each day, and help everyone around him to enjoy theirs as well. He had deep passion for his Coz, a utopian world where people could live happily and enjoy the moments the day would offer. His focus on utopia came from a clear vision, and understanding for, the real world in which he lived. Though he had seen much of the ugliest this world harbors, he never allowed the negative to impede his desire as he sheltered all, of whom he loved, from his own personal tribulations.
Surviving are his father, 3 brothers, Vincent Whipkey of North Las Vegas, NV and Christopher (Alisha) Whipkey of Butler, Dylan Whipkey of Butler, a sister Amanda Whipkey of Butler and three children, Allison, Alex, and Aubree.
Friends will be received at Young Funeral Home, Ltd., 127 W. Jefferson St., Butler, on Saturday, June 13, 2020, from 10AM until noon.
Private burial.
