Shane A. Ellison, 47, of Hope passed away Tuesday February 7, 2023 surrounded by his family.
Born September 1, 1975 in Columbus, Indiana, he was the son of Arnold and Beth (Williamson) Ellison. He married Heather (Wilson) Ellison on Mother's Day 2004.
Shane graduated from Hauser High School in 1993 and attended IUPUC. He was employed at Pilkington NSG for 20 years and was a proud active member of USW Local 7703.
He enjoyed motorcycle trips with his wife and family, firearms, and being a G-Pa (because he was much too young and cool to use the title grandpa). He loved his furry kids too. He was always the comedian and brought a smile to the face of everyone he ever met.
Survivors include his wife, Heather (Wilson) Ellison of Hope; his parents, Arnold and Beth (Williamson) Ellison of Hope: his daughter, Madilyn Ellison of Hope; three stepchildren, Linzi Bogle (fiance, Chasity Hessig) of Westport, Ashley Wilson of Greenwood, and Mercedes Hare of Columbus, OH; four granddaughters, Kyra Jacobs, Lyra, Rylee, and Klaire Hessig; his brother, Eric (wife Debbie) Ellison of Columbus; nephews, Riley and Thomas Ellison, and several aunts and uncles.
Shane was preceded in death by, his grandparents, Burnell and Margaret Williamson, and Fern and Emerson Ellison.
A celebration of Shane's life will be held at the Hope Moravian Church in Hope on Saturday February 11th with visitation from 1 to 3 p.m. followed by the service at 3 p.m. Graveside services will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Humane Society or the Riley Miracle Ride supporting Riley Hospital.
