Quentin Shaw Obituary

Quentin John Shaw was born on October 21, 1991 and went to be with his Lord and Savior on March 31, 2012. He was 20-years old and loved by many.

He leaves behind his parents Johnny & Dawn Shaw, his sister Rachel and her son Jorge, his grandparents Tommy & Nancy Shaw, Aunt Janet and cousin James, plus his Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Karen, and Sean. Not to mention the many extended family members who thought the world of him.

There will be visitation for him at Evangel Church on Thursday, April 5, 2012 from 10:00-11:00 and the service immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to Evangel Church for their never-ending love and support for our family.

We would also like to thank Magnolia Cremations for helping us take care of Quentin during this difficult time.

I was so shocked when I heard of the untimely passing of Q.
In times like these words are never enough when you just want to hold your child one more time. I lost my daughter when she was 19 less than a month from her turning 20, I know your pain.
I knew Q to be a polite, sweet and respectful young man. Q had such a wonderful way of making everyone he met feel special. Q is missed and loved by many. My heart hurts for all of you. Q is now in a better place even though we don't want it, as we are selfish and do not ever want to let go and never will. To the family of Q your in my prayers. Lots of love to you all.
