“It is with great heartbreak and profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of Shane Michael Mahler Jr., beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, friend, and one of our dear “once upon a time Littles” here at Cuddle Bears. His family is our family, and our hearts ache for and with theirs during this incredibly difficult season of grief.
If you ever had the chance to meet Shane, then chances are at some point, he lit up your world with his sweet smile, made you laugh with one of his jokes, left you shaking your head and smiling at some trick he perfected, touched your heart with an act of sweet kindness, or lifted your spirit with his contagious energy…or did all of these things at the very same time. Your Littles probably knew Shane as “that big tall guy” who would walk into a classroom to visit family but wouldn’t leave without an energetic greeting or jumping into one of their games for a minute, a patient mentor who had “childcare life” in his blood. His boundless energy could fill a room and steal your heart in an instant. We believe that energy will live on in all of the lives that he touched so deeply in his life’s journey.
Please hold his beloved family in your heart and in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time of loss and grieving, including but not limited to his mother Heather, father Shane Sr, step-father Ryan, sister Finley and brothers River and Jack, grandmothers Helen and Dona, his Pop Bill, his Aunt Rebecca (Becca) and Micheal, cousins Derek and Raven…all who are all at the heart of our Cuddle Bears Family, along with all whose hearts are broken and in need of comfort and understanding right now. Please surround them all with love, lend them your strength to add to their own, join us in praying that peace and comfort be with them now and in all of difficult moments to come.
(I hope Heather won’t mind that I borrowed this photo of a younger Shanie from her collection for this post. That smile of his…it will always come to mind when I think of him.)”
