Louie Kenneth Shaw

05/05/2025 - 09:28 , by TKing09

Louie "Kenneth" Shaw, 93, of San Angelo, Texas passed away on April 27, 2025. A memorial service will take place at Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel on Friday, May 16, 2025 at 2:00 p.m.

Kenneth was born on August 25, 1931 in Carlsbad, Texas to Ewell and Clarice Shaw.

Kenneth attended school in Water Valley and graduated in the class of 1948. After high school, he proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1951-1955. Following his service, Kenneth continued his education and obtained a math degree from Texas Tech University and then went on to secure his Master's Degree in accounting from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

On July 3, 1964, Kenneth married Christine Mick in Colorado Springs, CO. He and Chris didn't have children together, but he always thought of his stepchildren as his own. Kenneth and Chris were married for 34 years before her passing. 

Kenneth's professional life included: Computer Engineer for PHILCO-Ford in Philadelphia, VA, and also Washington DC.; Computer Engineer for NORAD in Colorado Springs, CO; and also Computer Engineer/Senior Controller for JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in Pasadena, CA. In the words of his sister, Lorece, "He was very smart, but never bragged about it."

Kenneth was preceded in death by his wife Chris, parents Ewell and Clarice Shaw, brother and sister-in-law Harold and Ann Shaw, brother David Shaw, stepson Terry Mick, stepson Jack Mick, and stepdaughter Nancy Mick.

Kenneth is survived by his sister Lorece Shaw Baze, brother Bob Shaw, and sister-in-law Diana Shaw, all of San Angelo. He is also survived by stepson Jim Mick of Salida, CO, stepdaughter-in-law Doris Mick of Colorado Springs, CO, and nephew Dean Shaw (Wendy), niece Teresa Shaw Calvert (Doug), nephew Ronald Shaw (Rhonda), nephew Stephen Baze, niece Sharon Baze Vick (Mickey), Leslie Shaw Arledge (Robert), niece Andrea Shaw Mutzabaugh (Brian), and special friend Glenda McCleery. Kenneth also leaves behind many great nieces, nephews, cousins, golfing buddies and friends who will miss him very much.

Kenneth was known for his quiet, but quick wit, someone who loved his family, and someone who really, really loved to play golf. So much so, that when he retired, he moved to New Mexico and got a part-time job as a marshal at the golf course at Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso. He was actually working to play for free and wasn't getting a paycheck - which was fine with him. He would say, "It's not the best paying job I ever had, but it's definitely the best job I ever had." And what did he do when he moved back home to Texas (San Angelo), he secured the marshal's job with the same deal at Quicksand Golf Course. 

As much as Kenneth loved golf, he truly loved family more. Every Sunday at 2:00 pm was lunch at Lorece's house with her and Bobby. This has been a tradition for many years. He also never missed a family function and was almost always the first one there - showing up with his famous pecan pie.

Kenneth was a loving brother, uncle, and a friend to many and will be greatly missed.

Honorary Pallbearers for the service will be: Dean Shaw, Ronald Shaw, Stephen Baze, Mickey Vick, Dustin Vick, Sidney Hale, Stan Shaw, George Neill, and Jason Cross.

Colby Brent Fisher, affectionately known as “Butter Bean,” passed away unexpectedly on April 17, 2025, in Bryan, Texas, at the age of 23.He was born on January 22, 2002 in Lubbock, Texas, and a resident of Fulshear, Colby lived a life full of faith, service, love, and an unmistakable joy that lit up every room he entered.

Colby was the beloved son of David B. Fisher and Amee M. Love, and a cherished brother to Calem and Cason Fisher.
