Dr. Peter Shaw Obituary
Peter met his wife Deanett in Bakersfield where the two created a family and established a network of deep friendships. Peter's devotion to his family and his children was his deepest commitment and his greatest joy.
Peter was a well-respected and much-loved physician who worked tirelessly to better the lives of his patients for more than two decades. He was a gentle and kind man with a wonderful sense of humor who told the best stories.
Peter is survived by his parents, his brother and sister, his wife, his in-laws, and his three children Ella, Colin, and Mia who will miss him deeply and will cherish his kind and loving presence in their lives.

WOW! This news is very heartbreaking. I remember a few years ago going to urgent care for myself and kids & the first time I met Dr Shaw he was just the best. You can tell he was the type of doctor you wanted treating you. He was so kind, great listener and a great doctor. So knowledgeable! Just a really great doctor. There were even times we went to urgent care & we requested him. This is just so heartbreaking. Rest is eternal peace, Dr Shaw. My condolences go to his family. Peace be with you all.

Dr. Shaw was my all time favorite Dr! I loved working with him and the Dr I trusted wholeheartedly with our patients, myself and my family! You made a huge impact on me during my early years as a nurse! You will be greatly missed!

I was so deeply saddened when I saw this face in the obituaries. I knew this man as my customer, Peter, at Cooper´s Gardens, and I also knew him as Dr. Shaw when he treated me 3-4 times at the Kaiser urgent care....such a kind & gentle soul and nothing short of a pleasure to deal with wearing any hat. I remember him at my store carrying his baby girl around proud as a peacock as he shopped with Deanett. My deepest sympathy to this lovely family, I am happy to have met and experienced such a wonderful person.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Shaw. A few years ago, he was the urgent care physician during/after an acute asthma attack, and each time I saw him, he was caring, proactive in testing/treatment, and would check in to see how I was doing. I find that to be very rare in today's medical profession and I really appreciated it.
Again, so sorry for your loss.

I remember Dr. Shaw as an ER Resident at KMC. He was such a patient and kind man. He was one of the good doctors that you want to work around and be treated by if the need arose. RIP Doc.

Pete was one of the finest physicians I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was also my friend. The angels in heaven are rejoicing over his presence where he awaits the arrival of those who God calls by name. Pete will be sorely missed.

Peter was our neighbor for years. He was an amazing man who was always willing to help. My favorite memory of Peter was every Halloween he was the first dad out in the neighborhood taking his kids around to trick or treat and stopping at our house to get a hotdog and visit with the other neighbors . We were broken-hearted to hear of Peter´s passing. Peace be with you and the kids, Dee.
