Obituary

William "Bill" James Shaw, 80, of Pacific, passed away, Friday, March 31, 2023, at his home in the comforting presence of his family.

On May 23, 1942, Bill was born to the union of Milburn Shaw and Helma (Bruton) in St. Louis, Missouri.

Bill graduated from Roosevelt High School in St. Louis.

He was united in marriage on August 26, 1975, to Debra (Kriner).

Bill was a member of the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Des Peres as well as a member of the Jefferson County Trail Riders Club.

He was an outdoorsman at heart and very much enjoyed fishing and riding horses. Bill was known to be the family jokester and could make anyone laugh. He also had a love for animals, especially dogs and birds. Bill lived a long, good life and it's safe to say that he's done it all. Most of all, Bill loved his family and friends very much and he will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Milburn and Helma Shaw; sister, Katherine Shaw; brother, Robert Shaw.

Bill is survived by his beautiful wife of 47 years, Debra Shaw of Pacific, four children, Thomas Shaw of Arnold, Kelly Allen and husband David of Villa Ridge, Billy Shaw II of Pacific and Jennifer Gallagher and husband Tim of Pacific; ten grandchildren, Kalyn Miller and husband Josh, Nicole Null and husband Jake, Abigail Allen, Madison Allen, Makayla Allen, Riley Allen, Morgen Gallagher, Jayden Gallagher, Owen Gallagher and River Gallagher; two great-grandchildren, Aurora Miller and Hadley Null; other relatives and many friends.
