Vale: Shane Freeman.

29/08/1956 - 29/12/2019

Rowing Tasmania is sad to hear of the passing of one of our members Shane Freeman. 

Shane had a long involvement as a coach with Scotch Oakburn College and was a well respected and loved member over many years of the College's rowing program and he was recently  recognised by the naming of a boat just before Christmas.

Shane had not been in the best of health in recent years but was still actively involved in coaching and attending regattas.

The Tasmanian Rowing Community extends our thoughts and best wishes to Shane's wife Suzy, his daughter Grace and their extended families at this very sad time.

A celebration of Shane's life will be held on Monday the 13th of January 2020 at Franklin Grove, 502 Hobart Road , Youngtown, TAS commencing at 3pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made on the day to the Clifford Craig Foundation for research into respiratory illness.

Rest in Peace.
