Obituary of Mike Shaw

George "Mike" Shaw passed away on September 21, 2021 at the age 69. Born in Frankfort on July 7, 1952, Mike was a graduate of Franklin County High School and went on to spend his life as a farmer. When he wasn't tending to his fields, he loved to spend time with his family and friends, and could often be found hanging out at the shop with the boys, tinkering with old tractors. His great-grandchildren were a source of much joy as he watched them play and listened to their stories, and delighted them with stories of his own. He was a member of North Frankfort Baptist Church. Mike was the son of the late George C. Shaw III and Ruby Hockensmith Shaw, and was also preceded in death by a brother, Thomas C. Shaw. He is survived by three daughters, Brandy Clay, Summer Shields (Fabian), and Brook Emmons (Chuck); and a son, Michael Shaw (Jessi). He also leaves behind 13 grandchildren: TC, Tevon, Tamren, and Tarrissa Clay; Tyler and Shelby Shields; Courtney and Lauren Emmons; Madison Hurst; Austin, Grace, and Lewis Shaw; and Clayton Ortwein; as well as seven great-grandchildren; and a niece, Kayte Shaw.

Burial will follow in the Frankfort Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 5:00 to 7:00 pm Friday, September 24th.
