Shane Joseph Wahabi George, 61, of Sharon passed away Thursday afternoon, October 6, 2022, at his home.

Shane was born September 28, 1961, in Putnam, CT, a son of Joseph A. and Karen (Frost) George. Shane attended Notre Dame Parochial Grade School in Hermitage and eventually earned his GED.

A hard-working man, he primarily worked as a self-employed landscaper and handyman.

In his younger years, Shane enjoyed playing the drums and riding his motorcycle throughout the trails of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.

He had the "gift of gab" and loved discussing politics, current events and history, particularly local history. However, his true passion and favorite topic of discussion was music. Shane had an encyclopedic knowledge of music and rock bands from the 1960's, 70's, and 80's. He attended countless concerts throughout his life and could recount exact details about most of them, whether it was a recent concert from the past year or a concert he had attended decades earlier.

Shane is survived by a sister, Sharon L. George, Mercer; two brothers, David F. George (Mary Beth), Sharon, and Aaron M. George (Dora), Huntington Beach, CA, four nieces, Emma, Hannah, Lily and Gabriela George; a nephew, Jacob George; as well as extended family members.

Shane was preceded in death by his parents.
