Shane Doss Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Shane Allan Doss, age 48, of Winslow, Arkansas passed away Thursday March 10, 2022 in Fayetteville. He was born January 23, 1974 in Santa Ana, California to James McLean and Linda Newton Doss, and then adopted out of immense love, by Kenneth Doss of Winslow, AR. Shane and Andrea were high school sweethearts for a short time, but then went their separate ways, married other people, had children and then found each other again. They reunited in 2010, and were married on September 26, 2015. They had a wonderful life together. He was the best husband, father, papa, brother, uncle, son-in-law, and friend anyone could ask for. Shane took pride in everything he did. He was a salt of the earth, and a hard working kind of man, providing for his family. He was a craftsman, baker, and gardener. Using his skills to bestow various gifts upon his family and friends. His dry, sarcastic sense of humor always brought a smile to everyone's face. He was that man. When you met him, you fell in love with him instantly. He enjoyed being out in nature and playing with his grandchildren. He was very laid back and easy to get along with. He wasn’t a big talker, unless it was something he truly loved, but he was a great listener. When he did talk, everyone listened. He might have been a calm individual, but his presence was loud. His love for others was loud too, even in his silence. He preferred to live in the shadows, constantly on watch, patient, observant and ready to help anyone in need. He was intelligent. He loved learning new things, Native American history, and finding beauty in things others deemed trash. He would craft those things into something beautiful again and make sure to give it to someone he loved. He was proud of his crafts and giving made him feel good. He was known in his community for his famous cheesecakes and you didn’t dare go into the kitchen if you were anything but gentle, as to not make his cheesecakes fall. He loved nature and animals, he was caring, nurturing and a healer. It was almost like he could talk to animals. It was because he was so trustful and gentle. Nature was his playground and he really loved his old rickety tractor and driving it for no reason at all other than to enjoy the ride, the sun on his skin and the moment. Shane was goofy. He only would completely let loose when around children and then his own inner child would explode out of him. He would shine. He was loved and he loved. He also got a kick out of pranking people. For years he would leave $100 dollar bills casually laying around the house. He would get chastised for being “irresponsible” and he would shrug it off and say that people don’t see the things right in front of their faces. He finally admitted last year that the money was fake and would leave it around purposefully to get a rise out of the household. Only Shane would make a prank drag out for years for his own amusement. He was a penny pincher but he had an odd obsession with buying the most ridiculously funny things he could find from Wish, one of those items being the fake $100 dollar bills, or the screaming blue pig that he used to annoy everyone in the house with. That is just a small example of the odd things he would collect. He would pay money for a good joke, but forget about buying new shoes. Shane was’t perfect, he made mistakes in his past that he felt he could never in his life atone for. He felt undeserving of his family and children, but he loved with all he could give. Unbeknownst, to him, he really did atone for his past and much more. He vowed to do his best, do good in the world and he did that plus some. His impact might have been small to the world but to people in his life it was huge. Shane also lived his life being humble. He made a point to remind himself to not be his mistakes and to not repeat passed transgressions. He was a survivor and knew the most random tips and tricks on how to do things. If you asked him questions, he made sure to be transparent about the different stages in his life, but sometimes, at the expense of himself, he wouldn’t try to rewrite someone else’s narrative. He was selfless and didn’t judge. Shane did not like fancy things, he was a home body, didn’t care for material things or the spotlight, though if you asked him to dress nicely he would dress to the nines, but not so secretly hate it. He was a hard worker. He worked 8-10 hour shifts, 6 days a week. He was consistent, reliable and highly respected. He was not just his job though, even though that is where he spent 95% of his time and ultimately his last real moments. Shane was so much more, even beyond this text that can never even be put into words. Shane will be missed for as long as anyone who knew him lives. He will live on through our hearts and memories. Shane has a legacy within his children and grandchildren. It really shouldn’t have been him, but he was called for a greater duty. He will be joining numerous loved ones. He will see his twin sons, Markus and Mason, whom he has wished to see again his whole life and that will be the most wonderful reunion. He will see Jimmy Wilson, who was like another father to him, whom he created a strong bond with over their love of motorcycles. We can only hope, as his family, that they are all up there together starting a motorcycle club in the clouds, looking down upon us, guiding and protecting us, and most of all loving us as we loved him. This is only a glimpse of his life, but there is so much more to him than this. Shane was multi-faceted and you never knew what you were going to get. He was one in a million. Shane will live on forever in our hearts and leave imprints of his loved ones’ lives. He is survived by his wife Andrea; two daughters, Sheniah Rothmeyer and her husband Matthew of Fayetteville, Arkansas and Tesla Gomez Kiely and her husband Jacob of Winslow, Arkansas; three sons, Brayden Doss of Springdale, Arkansas, Shane J. Doss of Mexico and Robert Jackson and his wife Cheyenne of Huntsville, Arkansas; three sisters, Autumn Doss of Portland, Oregon, Roseanne Doss McDevitt and her husband Steve of Ireland and Lana Huffman and her husband Adam of Winslow, Arkansas; brother, Ethan Doss of Fayetteville, Arkansas and six grandchildren, Davina Kiely, Jinora Rothmeyer, Kyla Huenergardt, Cora Huenergartdt, Carolyn Huenergardt and Quinton Huenergardt, and nephews and niece. He is preceded in death by his twin sons, Markus Blake and Mason Allan Doss, his biological father, James McLean, and grandparents. Visitation will be 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Friday March 18, 2022 at Moore’s Chapel in Fayetteville with the funeral service to follow beginning at 2:00 pm.
