Shane and Genni have worked hard for over 24 years building their company, Malloy Construction, Inc. Shane loved their family's camps up north, his Harley, trips with his family, anything outdoors, and any excuse to have a party! He might have gotten that from his mother! He was the light in every room and always spoke his mind. Shane was the best husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend and so much more to the people who loved him. Shane is predeceased by his mother Julie Merrill, Pepere Michael Malloy, Memere Doris Malloy, Grandmother Loretta Osier, and Nana Margaret Killam. Shane is survived by his loving wife, Genni; Sons Kaleb and Carter; dog Apollo; fathers Jeff Merrill and Jim Gurney; mother Gerry Gurney; brother Zack Merrill and his wife Kristin; sister Natashia Merrill and boyfriend Paden Pillow; and brother Don Gurney. He was the proudest uncle to nieces Bailey and Jaelynn and nephew Emmett. He held a special place in his heart for all his aunts, uncles, cousins, employees, and endless lifelong friends.
