Shane Kavanagh Tremper, 5 weeks, of Milford, passed away peacefully in the arms of his loving parents on June 14, 2016 at Boston Children’s Hospital, a place where he was thoroughly adored by all who met and cared for him. Though Shane’s life was short, it was happy and full of purpose, and he was able to spend most of his time at home with his family.
Shane was a miracle from birth and was able to rock at being a newborn despite a significant tumor in his brain. He loved being snuggled and spent most of his life curled up in the arms of those who loved him. He was a selfless and thoughtful easy-going little guy and our Baby Boy will be dearly missed.
Shane is survived by his parents, Jamie and Mary (Montague) Tremper, his adoring brother Owen, 20 months, and their loving dog Lola; his grandparents, Ron Tremper and Kate Kavanagh (Rehoboth, MA), Jim and Beth Montague (Syracuse, NY); his great-grandmother Mary Gordon (Carthage, NY); Aunts Casey Tremper, Kate (Montague) McCarthy and Jen (Bibbens) Montague; Uncles Mike Montague, Pat Montague and Chris McCarthy; his sweet cousins Ben, Danny, Colin and Ryan; as well as many great aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.
His funeral will be held on Monday, June 20, from the Ginley Crowley Funeral Home (www.ginleyfuneralhomes.com) 3 Barber Street, Medway at 9:15 followed by a funeral mass in St. Joseph Church at 10:00. Burial will be in St. Joseph Cemetery.
Calling hours will be on Sunday, June 19 from 6-8 p.m.
