Shane Edward Barbiche

Shane Edward Barbiche, a beloved son, brother, and friend, passed away suddenly on April 23, 2026, at his home in Ranson, West Virginia, due to cardiac arrest. Born on February 4, 1988, in Raritan Township, New Jersey, he was the son of Mark Rob-Allen and Cynthia Jane (Becker) Barbiche. He grew up in Flemington, NJ and lived and worked most of his adult life in Maryland and Virginia, before moving to West Virginia a few years ago.

Shane's vibrant spirit and warm personality will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Shane was a dedicated professional, most recently serving as a Superintendent for the Digital Installation Group, LLC in Manassas, Virginia. He was also deeply connected to his roots through his previous work with Barbiche Bros. Construction, Inc., a family endeavor he cherished. His commitment to his work was matched only by his passion for life and the people he loved.

An avid enthusiast of fast motors, Shane found joy in cars, motorcycles, dirt bikes, and quads—anything with a motor that went fast exhilarated him. He also held a special affection for outdoor adventures; he loved hiking with his loyal pitbull, Mack—affectionately known as "Chippy"—snowboarding during annual trips to Vermont with his high school friends, attending concerts, and attending H2Oi, the H2O International car event in Ocean City, Maryland, where he bonded with fellow Volkswagen fans. Additionally, the family condo in Key West, Florida, was a treasured winter getaway that brought him relaxation and happiness.

Shane’s educational journey began at Hunterdon Central Regional High School, where he graduated in 2006. He furthered his studies at the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana, embracing opportunities that allowed him to grow and pursue his passions.

Those who were lucky enough to know Shane recall how he lit up any room with his infectious smile and engaging personality. He was rarely in a bad mood, embodying a cheerful and positive outlook on life. Above all else, Shane’s heart belonged to his loved ones—his friends and family were his pride and joy, with a special bond for his younger brother, Skyler.

He is survived by his devoted parents, Mark and Cindy Barbiche of Vero Beach, Florida; his cherished brother, Skyler Barbiche of Lebanon, New Jersey; his grandfathers, William Edleston of Lebanon, New Jersey, and Robert Becker of Auburn, New York; and a wide circle of aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family who all hold his memory close. Shane’s beloved canine companion, Mack, remains a steadfast reminder of his loyalty and love.

A visitation to honor Shane’s life will be held on Friday, May 8, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, located at 147 Main Street, Flemington, New Jersey. Following this, a Celebration of Life will commence at 4:00 PM, also at the funeral home. These gatherings provide a heartfelt opportunity for family, friends, and all who knew Shane to come together, share their memories, and pay tribute to a man whose presence brightened so many lives. Cremation was private.
