Johnny Evans Shaw

Johnny Evans "John" Shaw, 75, of Hull, TX passed away Sunday, January 31, 2021, at his residence. Mr. Shaw was born April 20, 1945, in Texarkana, TX to the late Hubert Evans Shaw and Martha Virginia Wilson. Mr. Shaw was employed by Lexicon as a heavy equipment operator. He was a veteran who served in the United States Air Force.

John was a loving husband, daddy, and grandpa. Not a man of many words, he showed how much he cared through his actions, whether it was fixing or building something for friends and family, or making pancakes for the family. Happily retired since 2009, he enjoyed working leather and wood crafts, jigsaw puzzles, John Wayne movies, and any old western rerun. In earlier years he also spent many wonderful weekends in the deer stand or sitting out fishing wherever there were water and a fishing pole. He enjoyed being outdoors working around the yard and camping with his family

Mr. Shaw is preceded in death by his parents. Those left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Judy Shaw; son, Bradley "Brad" Shaw, and wife, Jeri of Seguin, TX; Daughter, Kari Shaw Mahaney, and husband, Brent of Borger, TX; grandchildren, Zachary Shaw, Courtney Shaw, Kellie Shaw, and Matthew Mahaney; sister, Shirley Sherrod, and husband, Clifton Sherrod of Tyler, TX, and a host of loving family and friends.

Johnny was the best father in law I could have asked for. It hurts so much, knowing that he's gone. I got to spend the past 24 years with him, visiting Hull or having him and Judy visit us. I don't really have a single memory that stands out above the others, everytime we were with him was special in its own way. He and I spent many hours sitting in the rocking chairs on his back porch, just talking about life, or hanging out in his shop doing things. Johnny loved to just be out piddling in his shop. We also spent many hours watching westerns when it was too hot and humid to be outside. I was never into westerns before I met Johnny, but after 24 years of visiting him, I'm actually coming around to liking them. Johnny finally wore me down! Wherever Kari or I were stationed in the Navy, he and Judy would come to visit. He was so proud to give Kari away at our wedding in San Diego. There is a special bond that exists between a father and daughter, and the bond between Johnny and Kari was truly epic. She loves her daddy more than anything. He really enjoyed how beautiful it is in the Puget sound area when we were stationed north of Seattle. He got to see the ocean, walk along the beaches, and see trees and gorgeous snow-capped mountain ranges. That was the one place, above all others, that I think he enjoyed visiting us. But nothing made him light up more than being around his family, especially his grandkids, during Christmas. He would usually just sit back and watch everyone else, and listen to all of the conversations. Or film, he loved to capture family Christmases on tape. I will miss seeing that. I will miss talking to him in rocking chairs. I will miss how he used to pick on me. I will mainly miss knowing that he's just a 10 hour drive away. Johnny was a truly special man that I will miss with all of my heart, forever. I want to say one last thing about my mother in law. Judy spent over 50 years married to Johnny. They were absolutely made for each other. They were best friends from high school through to Johnny's very last moments. Every memory I have of Johnny involves Judy too. I can't imagine what you're going through, but just know that we love you and are here for you. Brent
