Shane Allen Wooley, 41, of Rochester, passed away on May 16th, 2026 at his residence surrounded by his loving family.
He was born in Beaver on October 9th, 1984, a son of Connie Lee (Shanor) Wooley and the late Terry Allen Wooley. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 15 years, Amanda “Mandy” (Gerard) Wooley, his son, Smith Allen Wooley, his step-mother, Tina Wooley, his brothers: Cody (Brittany) Wooley, Shawn (Stephanie) Stanley, Tim Stanley, and Mike Pagani; as well as his mother-in-law, Kerry (John Wuycik) McShane, his sisters-in-law, Megan (Josh Fuchs) Campbell and Jessica McShane, his nieces and nephews: Mason, Addy, Greyson, Eleanor, and Tanner; along with numerous beloved extended family and friends.
Shane was the loving husband of Amanda Wooley, who he had been with since they were 16 years old, and the proud, devoted father of his 7-year-old son, Smith Allen Wooley, who meant everything to him. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Ellwood City. He lived his life guided by compassion, humor, and love for others. He was ordained in his faith and was honored to officiate the weddings of three couples, a role he cherished deeply. He was an avid wrestling enthusiast and could often be found cheering on his favorite Pittsburgh sports teams. He also loved building intricate LEGO sets, traveling to Las Vegas to enjoy the casinos, and spending time in Erie near the water, places that brought him peace and happiness. Some of his happiest moments were spent sitting on the front porch surrounded by family and friends, sharing stories and laughter. He adored his family beyond measure and treasured every moment with them. He will be remembered for his generous spirit, his kind heart, sense of humor, and easygoing nature.
Friends will be received on Sunday, May 24th from 1:30 P.M. until the time of services at 3:30 P.M. in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, Inc., 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, who was in charge of his arrangements. Pastor David Saylor will officiate.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Grace Tarabay-Caridad and the staff of UPMC Hillman Cancer Center of Beaver as well as the staff from Pinnacle Hospice for the compassionate care they showed Shane and his family during his battle with cancer.
