Shane Stillman

Shane Stillman passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at his home in Herriman, UT. He was born on December 13, 1957, to Sterling Stillman and Nada Ann Pickett in Salt Lake City, UT.

In June 2008, Shane married Vickie Christensen, bringing their two families together and creating a blended family of six daughters: Shane’s daughters, Josie, Casey, and Kelby, and Vickie’s daughters, Randee, Cortnee, and Tiffanee.

Growing up, Shane raised livestock alongside his dad. Some of his best memories were riding horses and herding sheep in the Smith and Morehouse area. He spent many of his younger days snowmobiling with friends or on a motorcycle with The Dead Dogs motorcycle gang. Shane also enjoyed fishing, camping, gardening, and spending time at his property in Duchesne.

Shane had a 41-year career at Questar gas (formerly Mountain Fuel) where he was a Foreman and high-pressure welder and inspector. He took immense pride in his work and mentoring his crew.

Normally this is about where an obituary ends. We did not feel like this accurately captured the essence of who Shane was, so we’d like to expand on some of our favorite things. It would be rare to see Shane wearing anything except a Carhartt T-shirt (with a pocket), flannel, Levis (with a can of chew in the back pocket), a baseball cap, his watch, and cowboy boots with a can of beer as his main accessory. We have our suspicions that he came into this world already sporting that iconic Sam Elliott mustache. He had a wicked sense of humor and was proudly, undeniably one heck of a funny pain in the rear. He made a mean lamb stew that he considered to be a masterpiece. He claimed to not like sweet treats, but we all knew that was a lie. After all, it was hard to believe him when it was normal to catch him, in his tighty whiteys, sneaking a Heath bar out of the freezer in the middle of the night!

Shane is survived by his wife, Vickie Stillman; three daughters, Josie (Jake) Taber, Casey Stillman, and Kelby (Cody) Payne; three stepdaughters, Randee (Casey) Willard, Cortnee Reynolds, and Tiffanee Reynolds; nine grandchildren, Waylon Willard, Aiden Reynolds, Chance Willard, Max Feraco, Finn Taber, Sawyer Feraco, Ellie Taber, Kole Payne, and Luke Payne; and four siblings, Karen (Dave) Fitzwater, Sherry (Kevin) Nordgren, Braxton Stillman, and Ken (Ellie) Stillman.

Shane is preceded in death by his parents, Sterling and Nada Ann Stillman.

After a lifetime of shenanigans and hard work, he has earned his rest. Cheers to you, Dad, Grandpa, Shane.
