Samuel Shaw Obituary

Samuel Keith Shaw

It is with a heavy heart that the family of Sam Shaw announce that he passed away at the age of 76 on Wednesday, the 4th of March, 2026 at 2:00 AM.

He is survived by his wife, Rachel Shaw; as well as his children, David Shaw, Daniel Shaw; and his daughter, Dawna Shaw.

He was always a giving and caring person, and made friends everywhere he went.

His deep ties to the Messianic Synagogue Adat Yeshua, his work with Adelante and Friends in Time, and his support of the GWRR, as well as his presidency at the Association of Former Military Intelligence Operatives will not be forgotten.
