Gregory Shaw Obituary
Gregory "Greg" Louis Shaw
October 1989 – March 2024
Brewster, WA
Gregory "Greg" Louis Shaw was born on October 4, 1989.
Greg attended school in Mansfield, WA, and Auburn, WA, before graduating from Bridgeport High School in 2008. Between his junior and senior year, he did early enlistment in the Air Force and completed his basic training at Lackland Air Base in San Antonio, TX. After boot camp, he attended Airman training at Sheppard Air Force Base in north Texas, then he was stationed at Davis Monthan Air Base in Tucson, AZ. After a time, he was deployed to Romania for a short period, and Turkey for a short time. In 2017, he left active duty but remained in the reserves until 2022. He then went on to be employed at the Western Passport Office in Tucson as a Armed Security Guard.
Greg enjoyed an outdoor life of hunting and shooting. He was the High Junior Pistol Shooter in the Inland Empire Rifle and Pistol Association during the 2007-08 season. He was an avid reader and was very interested in steam trains and WWII ships and aircraft. He was very fortunate to be able to fly in a couple of World War II bombers. He also enjoyed playing various board and video games with friends.
Greg is survived by his father, Sam (Laurie); brother, Gabe (Kirsten); mother, Danise Cartwright; grandfather, Lou Cartwright; uncle, Dave Cartwright; uncle, Dick (Jackie) Shaw; aunts, Lucile Minatani (Victor) and Susan Shaw; step-uncles, Terry and Gary; and step-aunt, Gloria Walker. He leaves behind nephews: Wyatt, Wade and Westyn; as well as cousins and step-cousins. He was preceded in death by his step-mother, Diane; grandparents: Louie and Ruthie Shaw; grandmother: Shirley Cartwright; and Diane's mother, Grandma Joyce.
Greg's Memorial Service will be held June 1, 2024, at 1:00 p.m., at the Seventh-day Adventist school, 115 Valley Road, Brewster, WA. The family requests no flowers in lieu of a donation to Tunnel to Towers or Wounded Warriors in Gregory's name.
