He was "Papa" to Miranda (Kyle) Hanke, Caleb Michlig, Austin Henrichsmeyer, and Cailey Michlig; and Great Papa to Grace Hanke. He is also survived by brother, Michael (Sherry) Shaw of Ridgeland; aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives, as well as countless friends. Brian was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Steven Shaw; cousin Leonard.
