On June 16, 1956 he married Marilyn Friesen shortly after graduating from Cal Polytechnic University.
He worked in Agricultural Chemical Sales until 1975, when he became self-employed in order to spend time as a volunteer minister for Jehovah's Witnesses. Vern and Marilyn spent 20 years (1985-2005) traveling to assist congregations in 7 different states.
He moved to Idaho in 1962 in order to raise his boys in an area where outdoor activities could be enjoyed. Vern loved the trout streams and mountains of Idaho.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Marilyn. His two sons: Tim (Rita) Shaw of Nampa, ID, Ed (Pollyann) Shaw of Bliss, ID. Also by his only grandchild - his granddaughter, Aubrey (Michael) Brown of Los Alamos, NM. His brother, J.D. (Mary) Shaw of Twin Falls, ID. He was preceded in death by both parents, and two sisters.

Vern was convinced of the bible's hope of a resurrection (Acts 24:15).
All of us wait for the day when he will once again enjoy the mountains and streams that our Creator Jehovah has made.
