Max Shaw Obituary

Max LeRoy Shaw

Silverdale, WA

Sept. 10, 1937 to Jan. 30, 2018

Max LeRoy Shaw, 80, of Silverdale, Washington, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018 from Stage 4 Lung Cancer. He is survived by his son, Justin Owen Shaw; daughter-in-law, Mieke Aline (Middelhoven); and grandson, Spencer Kenneth. He was preceded in death by his wife, Annita Louise Shaw. June 29, 2018 would have been their 50th anniversary.

Max was born Sept. 10, 1937, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, to Clifford Dean Shaw and Nettie Marguerite Frances Barger (Shaw) Tipton, and grew up in Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado. Max is the eldest of seven children: sister, Gwendolyn Marguerite; paternal half-siblings, Peggy Ann (Urbanek), Joey Dean, Curtis Lee, and Rex Lin; and maternal half-brother, Terry Ray Tipton.

He attended the University of Wyoming before enlisting in the Navy in 1958. After 22 years, he retired from the Navy as Senior Chief Petty Officer (EMCS), and went back to school, earning a bachelor's degree in psychology, and a master's in business & administration. Max briefly worked in investments and securities before retiring to be a stay-at-home dad, and helping his wife Annita in her classroom.

At Max's request, memorial services will be held in Henry, Nebraska.

Max was a very dear friend for many years. He and his wife were very giving to their family, friends, and community. Education was foremost in both of their lives. They touched many people in their community. They were very giving and genuine couple. Max and Annita will be missed.
