Shane Michael Ambuehl, 34, died at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona on October 31, 2014.  His life was short but his heart was BIG…he touched the lives of many. He was a friend to everyone. His genuine embrace (HUGS) helped many during difficult times. His smile, laugh, loud voice, and dynamic personality lit up a room!  Shane loved hunting, fishing, billiards, cards, and hanging out with family and friends. For the past five years Shane explored New York City, Los Angeles, Lincoln (NE), Las Vegas and the entire state of Arizona with his companion. He was faithful to his Midwestern roots and continued to support the Minnesota Twins and Vikings. Arizona was a perfect place for Shane to enjoy sports every season. He cheered on the University of Arizona –Wildcats, the University of Nebraska-Cornhuskers, Arizona Coyotes, Diamondbacks, Cardinals and the Phoenix Suns.

Shane is survived by his girlfriend, Myna Wintz, Phoenix, AZ;  daughters, Lexi and Kya Ambuehl, Battle Lake; son, Austin Lockwood, Fargo; his mother, Sheri (Brandon) McCabe; his father, Mike (Jamie) Ambuehl; brothers, Corey and Cody Ambuehl; sister, Madison McCabe; great grandmother, Ruby; and many other very dear relatives and friends.

    To the Ambuehl family,
    I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Shane was a great young man and I feel so incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity to have called him my friend. He will forever be in my heart.

  12. Fargo ND
    I could not stay another day
    To laugh, to love, to work or play.
    Tasks left undone will stay that way,
    I found that peace at close of day.
    If my parting has left a void
    Then fill it with remembered joy
    A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss,
    Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss.
    But not burdened with times of sorrow,
    I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
    My life has been full, I’ve savored much.
    Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
    Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
    Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief,
    Lift up you hearts and share with me,
    God wanted me now,
    He set me free.

    For ever in our hearts you will be missed RIP my old friend

  14. Fargo ND
    Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free,
    I’m following the path God laid for me.
    I took his hand when I heard him call,
    I turned my back and left it all.
    I could not stay another day
    To laugh, to love, to work or play.
    Tasks left undone will stay that way,
    I found that peace at close of day.
    If my parting has left a void
    Then fill it with remembered joy

  19. casa grande arizonaI remember u from when we were kids. u brought smiles to everyones faces that u came across. u are with the angels now and we will all miss u!

  20. Shane,
    Not a single memory of ours will ever be forgotten. You made such an impression on the Wintz family. We were so lucky to be introduced by Myna to such an amazing, loving, and fun person. You truly did help bring our family together. We’ve had so many amazing memories from my graduation (thanks again for doing EVERYTHING), Grandpa Morgans 90th birthday, vacations, Brandon and I’s trip this past summer, and Vegas just a few weeks ago. If I would have known that would have been our last memory I never would have gone to sleep. I stay awake at night thinking of all the great memories you brought our family. You were known to our family for a short time, but you’ll forever now be a part of us. Your heart and energy will never be forgotten. It’s not goodbye, It’s I’ll see you when I see you.
    Watch over us.
    XOXO

    Isaiah 57:1-2
    The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace they find rest as they lie in death.

    Rest in peace my friend.

    Rest in Peace Dear Shane.

    Your time with our family was very short but your footprint was very BIG. You came in to our daughter’s life during a very sad time you helped her grieve the loss of her beloved brother. You showed her how to laugh again, take risks and enjoy life. Jim and I are forever grateful for your presence in her life. She believes you are the “Brightest Angel” in Heaven! Your leaving broke her heart but you made her strong enough to live through it!

    Lynn and Jim Kaiser
