Funeral set for Sun City fireman Shane Godbehere who died on duty

Sun City fireman Shane Godbehere who died in the line of duty Saturday at Fire Station 131 will be laid to rest on Friday, June 17 at 11 a.m.

Godbehere, 36, served with the Sun City Fire and Medical Department for 15 years. His cause of death has not yet been determined, according to Sun City Fire and Medical public information officer Adam Holliday.

"Shane was a caring and friendly firefighter who could often be found tinkering with cars and electronics on his down time. Shane was a devoted family man and had a tremendous amount of love for them," Sun City Fire and Medical said in a statement. "Shane will be missed by everyone from his Sun City family, and we will continue working hard to honor Shane’s memory."

The memorial service will be held at Desert Springs Bible Church, located at 16215 N. Tatum Blvd., but his burial will be a private service reserved for family and “the Sun City Firefighter family” only, according to a press release.

The fire department has set up a GoFundMe to raise funds to help support Godbehere's family.
