Steven “Steve” Kelly Shaw

Steve was our neighbor on Smith St. for many years. He had a wonderful sense of humor and we enjoyed playing the occasional prank on him. Steve´s laugh was infectious, what a loss. RIP Steve.

I am saddened to read of Steve's passing. I first met him after I got out of the Air Force and had the pleasure of playing softball with him. What a hitter. I played many games with and against him. Great competitor with an infectious smile and could he laugh. RIP old friend

I met Steve in 1971 at SFCC. He was one of the Shadle grads that I met. We had a lot of friends in common. I played many pickup sports games with him in those days. Steve was a good golfer, pool shot, athlete, and poker player. We called him "Shoe" because of his punting talent. He was also a comedian. When I moved back from WSU in 1980, he shared his home with me. I lived there until he got married. We had a lot of fun during the 70's and 80's. After moving I began teaching and didn't see...

Our friendship began in Junior High (Glover). We often rode our bikes to Downriver GC to play golf or simply chip and putt for pennies with a few other friends. Always good hearted, a friend to all, loved his family, never complained about his circumstances, funny as heck, athletic ... I admired many things about Steve but I was always jealous of his sweet ( Fred Couples) swing. Steve was a best man at my wedding. I loved Steve and I will miss him dearly.

Steve was so special! He befriended my brother Mark the first day they met in 5th grade and they were best friends ever since. Steve touched every person he ever met. How lucky all of us are to have known him.

The first time I met you was in 5th grade at Emerson Elementary Mrs Kennedy class . I only went there one year before we moved . Then again I got to meet up in high school and at your daughter´s cafe . It was nice to connect. Rest in peace
