Shane Doan To Serve As Pallbearer At John McCain's Funeral

Shane Doan will serve along with former Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Luis Gonzalez.

Senator McCain was a shining example of what a modern leader should be," Doan said in a statement. "He represented Arizona and the United States with class and dignity, and the courage and incredible strength that he demonstrated, in every test a man could face, impacted everyone who simply heard his story. His love for life was contagious and his passion for his family, state, country and Arizona sports teams left you optimistic and energized. I am so honoured to have been able to call Senator McCain my friend, and am grateful to his family for allowing my family to be a part of their lives. Our hearts go out to (his wife) Cindy and all the family during this difficult time."
