Mathew “Shane” Robertson, 58, of Bringhurst, passed away November 9, 2026 surrounded by family. He was born January 9, 1968 to Don Robertson and Connie (Brittain) Watson, in Frankfort. Shane married the love of his life, Shawn, on April 2, sharing many wonderful and memorable years together.
Shane attended Clinton Prairie, graduating in 1986, and attended St Joseph’s college. He later went on to become a semi driver. He retired from Frito Lay after 22 years, and most recently worked for McLeod Express. Shane loved fishing and boating, spending many fishing trips in beautiful Arkansas -an admiration he got from his mother. Keeping himself busy, Shane also enjoyed golfing and bowling in his free time. An avid IU fan, Shane loved sports. In his youth, Shane wrestled, played baseball, and dabbled in any sport he could get his hands on. Above all else, he loved spending time with his family; especially his grandkids. Shane was a wonderful husband, father, brother, pop-pop, antagonizer, debater, and friend. He had the kindest heart. Often helping his wife care for stray animals she would bring home, Shane had many pets over the years. Shane was a total goofball, but goofballs make the best dads -and that he was.
Shane is preceded in passing by his parents, Don and Connie.
In addition to his beloved wife, Shawn, Shane is survived by his children: Brittany (Letteer,) Caleb (Hannah,) Ian, and Gavin; favorite (and only) sister, Rhonda (Greg;) nieces; Carley and Cassie; grandbabies: Tatum, Audrey, Anderson, Ella, Beckham, Lilah, and soon-to-be, Sebastian; step-parents: Sandy Robertson and Jack Watson; and step-siblings: Mike (Deann) and Shelly.
