Michael “Shane” Kinser, 49, of Harrison, Tennessee, left this earth too soon to go to his heavenly home on August 11, 2023.

Shane attended Central High School.

He was a Christian and believed in helping others. He was a loyal supporter of St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Shane loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman. Nothing brought him more joy than fishing with his family and friends.

He was a mechanical designer for commercial and industrial fire sprinkler systems. Shane started working in the craft as a teenager and worked his way up from a field apprentice to a system designer.

He loved his family with all his heart. He was a beloved grandson, son, brother, uncle, and cousin.

Shane is survived by his parents, Donnie and Karen Kinser; his sister Gina (Kevin) Payne; his only niece, Sarah Payne; his grandfather, Rankin Kinser; close cousins, Keri Drozdowski, Craig Morgan, Thomas Carroll, Adam Jenkins; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Funeral services will be conducted from the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral on Saturday, Aug. 19, at 11 a.m. with Pastor Bill Mason officiating. Interment will follow at Hamilton Memorial Gardens.

The family will receive friends from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 18, and until service time on Saturday at North Chapel.

The family requests memorials be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, at stjude.org

Arrangements are by the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory, and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson, Tn. 37343.
