In Loving Memory of Zane Billy Shannon Lewis
It is with profound heartbreak and immeasurable sorrow that we announce the passing of Zane Billy Shannon Lewis, a beloved child of Bulan, Kentucky, who departed this life far too soon on June 8, 2025, at the tender age of 11. Though their time on this earth was brief, Zane’s spirit left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew and loved them.
Born and raised in the close-knit community of Bulan, Zane was a bright light — full of laughter, wonder, and the kind of love that radiated effortlessly. Whether it was playing outside with friends, spending time with family, or engaging in quiet moments of curiosity and creativity, Zane lived each day with an innocence and a joy that touched everyone around them.
Zane was the cherished child of Paige Hoskins and Bill Deaton, who lovingly nurtured Zane with compassion and guidance. Their deep bond with Zane was evident to all who saw them together. Zane also shared a special sibling relationship with a devoted sister, whose memories with them will be held forever in a heart broken by loss.
Those who knew Zane speak of a child full of heart and spirit — someone whose smile could light up a room, whose kindness knew no bounds, and whose empathy reached even beyond their years. Zane was thoughtful, inquisitive, and full of life’s simple joys. From the laughter echoing in the yard to the quiet moments curled up with a favorite story or show, Zane’s presence brought peace, warmth, and love.
To the extended family — grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and close family friends — Zane was a blessing, a beautiful soul whose life, though short, held meaning and purpose. Their passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but their memory will live on in the stories shared, the photographs cherished, and the silent moments when the world feels just a bit quieter.
As we mourn this heartbreaking loss, we ask the community to lift Zane and their family in your thoughts and prayers. Let us stand together to support one another during this time of unimaginable grief, to honor Zane’s memory, and to remember the precious gift of a child whose spirit will forever live in the hearts of those who loved them.
Details for a memorial or celebration of life will be shared at a later time, as the family takes time to grieve privately.
Rest in peace, dear Zane. You were a light in this world, and your glow will never fade from the hearts that loved you.
