In Loving Memory of Benjamin William Shaw
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Benjamin William Shaw at the young age of 29.
Ben grew up in Naples, Maine and Casco, Maine, fully enjoying lake life and surrounded by loving family. He was a natural athlete and excelled in basketball, football and soccer in early years and later lacrosse and skiing while attending Lake Region High School. His love of skiing continued into his adult life and led him to live for a time in Colorado before moving back to Maine. Ben was an excellent businessman, and he used his energy and intensity to start a successful company in Maine with his best friend, Cameron Harriman. Ben had many friends in and out of the business, who he loved to cook for and called family.
Ben's loyalty and love for family was powerful and limitless. He felt deeply and loved intensely. Those who know Ben will remember his kind heart, adventurous spirit, giving nature, and playful smile. Losing his battle with bipolar depression, Ben leaves behind his loving father Joseph Shaw (Karen MacLeod), mother Wendy Shaw (Rob Retif), brother Joseph A. Shaw (wife Madigan and daughter Sophie), sister Brianna Shaw, previous life partner Hannah Chase and their daughter to be, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He loved you all.
Visitation hours will be held Monday May 6, 2024 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Dolby, Blais & Segee Funeral Home, 434 River Road, Windham.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Ben's name to your local mental health organization.

It was an honor to know and work with Ben he was a passionate man that cared about what he did and his product! I wish there were more people cut from that cloth. Rest easy Ben!

Ben was one of the most kind and gentle and hard working humans and always willing to help others. He was one of the best caregivers I knew and we are all saddened to hear of his passing.

Ben was on of the most loving and kind people I know. An amazing caregiver and a good friend. I will always remember his kind spirit and how he always tried to make me feel better when I was down even if he was having a hard time too. I´m thankful I got to know him.
