Shain was a member of Elizabeth Baptist Church.
Preceding him in death were his two grandpas who he loved more than anything, Jackie Lee Gandee and Robert Eugene Pauley.
Shain loved to four wheel and loved anything that involved mud, wheels and motors.
He was an avid hunter and loved to make people laugh “Cause it’s Trick or Treat all year round.” He hated school but loved many of his teachers, especially Mrs. Victoria Robb, and his friends.
Shain was a client of Parallel Entertainment and previously worked for the city of South Charleston, Foodland and Thaxton Construction.
He will be sadly missed but never forgotten by his dad, Dale Gandee; mom, Loretta Gandee; sister, Shalena Callahan; niece, Charity Callahan; two grandmas, Bessie Thaxton Gandee and Joan Shafer; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and, most of all, his girlfriend and the love of his life, Kansas Whiting.
Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Sunday, April 7, at Charleston Municipal Auditorium, 224 Virginia St. E., Charleston, with the Rev. Walter Means and the Rev. Randy Campbell officiating. Private family burial will follow in Thaxton Cemetery, Thaxton Hollow, Charleston.
Visitation with the family will be from 11 a.m. until the service time on Sunday. Everyone is encouraged to wear camo.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Shain’s name to angelsamongus.org, credit card donation; make checks payable to Duke University, 13 BR, Tisch Brain Tumor Center – Angels, DUMC Box 3624, Durham, NC 27710; or the Autism Society, 4340 East West Highway, Suite 350, Bethesda, MD 20814.
The family will accept memorial online condolences at cpjfuneralhome.com or gandeesgeneralstore@aol.com.
Cunningham-Parker-Johnson Funeral Home is serving the Gandee family.
Shain, 21, was tragically found dead in his car on April 1, following a four wheeling expedition that went wrong. Shain, his uncle David Gandee and a friend were found dead inside Shain's truck which was trapped in a muddy ravine near his Sissonville, WV, home. They died of carbon monoxide poisoning, because the muffler of the truck was submerged in mud.
