And a very nice obituary written by his friend, Ian Kydd Miller:

SHANE HERBERT : The Death of a FRIEND

07/08/65 – 28/05/15

I had some sad news yesterday that the friend I had accompanied back to Australia from Cambodia had passed away in hospital in Brisbane.

Shane had been suffering from a heart condition that quickly deteriorated and lead to his death.

I had known Shane for about 6 years and during that time had found him to be a gentleman, who liked to enjoy himself and was regularly seen out and around the town. He was a man that had traveled the world and had mainly worked in the hotel and entertainment industries. I remember vividly some of the stories he told me about his time in the UK.

He was known by many people in Phnom Penh and was involved at various times in the running of several hotels and bars in the city. He was always willing to help people and was involved with various charitable organisations.

Shane had many friends here in Cambodia both among the expat population and also local Cambodian people. His sense of humor and general likability, brought him close to all who new him, he was always ready for a laugh and a few beers. He could also be a tough old bird and one not to be crossed. I am sure he is looking down on us now with an exceptionally cold beer in his hand, or if he has gone downstairs then he’s looking for the fridge if there’s any to be found he will find it.

Shane a good Aussie that.......

Shane was a friend of mine for many years. He was one of the really good guys. I cannot recall him ever having bad words to say about anyone except overly drunk a..holes at 4 in the working at Walkabout when he was the night manager. Phonm Phen will not be the same without him.
He will be missed.

I had fleeting chats with Shane among groups of friends over 5-6 years. He was always personable and quick with a smile, and keen to talk if the subject interested him, and even if it didn't. He was one of the most easy-going guys I had met in Phnom Penh and didn't seem to engage in clique building. Always a pleasure to bump into anywhere in town.

RIP Shane Herbert. You will be missed.

Oh bummer.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen him around lately.

He was a really nice guy to sit and chat with over a few beers.

RIP Shane.
