I lost my best friend, my brother on July, 02, 2007 in Port Charlotte, Florida. My brother was the best son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin and friend anyone could ask for. His smile and sense of style and good looks were to die for, unfortunately someone selfishly took all that away from us. Shane was murdered by his so called friend, while saving the life of a girl he barely knew. He was shot multiple times, stepped over and left to die. Pockets emptied as he pleaded for help. I never imagined that I would get a phone call saying he is gone, or have to go home and break the news to my family that he was murdered. I lost my best friend on July 2nd, I lost my everything. My heart yearns to feel his tender touch, to kiss him one more time, to say “I love you”.
I still cant imagine how someone could be so cold-hearted and take a life, then you are a coward and take your own life …
I always tell my friend Rashonda to be grateful that her family got justice for her brother “Carl City Williams”, because I will never get to face the killer and tell him how much he broke my family apart, I will never get the feeling of knowing that justice is served or that he is rotting in jail. But i get comfort in knowing that god is good and I am sure the killer is rotting in hell.
For all of you who lost a love one, I pray that one day you may find comfort in your heart. I know that I have not forgiven Joe for what he did, i am not to sure that i ever will. I believe forgiveness is the first step to healing , and i just cant forgive so i think my heart will be broken forever.
To my sweet brother Shane Patrick McCullough: rest in peace til we meet again.
TISH THIS TRIBUTE IS CLOSE TO MY HEART. I ALWAYS FEEL SO SAD TO HEAR OTHER PEOPLE’S STORIES BUT TO KNOW SHANE WAS TO LOVE HIM SO SILLY AND FUNNY.. HE LIVES THROUGH YOU AND I LOVE YOU… RIP SHANE AND CARL OUR PERSONAL ANGELS..
Tishanna your tribute to your brother is very touching. My prayers and love to you and your mom remains forever as well as my prayers I pray you too will get some sort of peace. I won’t say justice because I still can’t say the victims family ever receive true justice. I love you Tishanna. As myself and many other families of vicious acts of murderes just take one day at a time. Love you
Tishanna this is Brea. I feel your pain, and I know all the questions that will never be answered! But disagree with some of the things you said about joe. I know you didn’t know him but he was an awesome person who believed in god but was controlled by the devil (cocaine) he would give someone his last, made sure they had something to eat, clothes on their back, a place to stay if need be.
I don’t think for one second that he killed himself cause he was a coward, I believe he did it cause he realized what he had done! I live with this everyday and I ask myself what could I have done to stop it?! What I do know about dubbs he was also a great person who cared about people, they were friends for a reason for so long! If it wasn’t for him I would be dead!
I in my heart believe (that after three days without sleep he forgot where he was and who we were.) Sentencing him to hell is just wrong! He was not the person I knew, loved and respected when this happened! My last words to him “why would you do this, I love you” he looked to his girlfriend and said “call her an ambulance” if he meant to kill me, he could have then, instead he took his own life! He, as a man woke up and saw what he did and couldn’t deal with it! If not for the drugs I don’t believe in my heart this would have happened!
