Roper Funeral Home and Crematory 206 Holly Street Jasper, GA 30143 (706) 253-7500 (706) 253-0040 www.roperfuneralhome.com Thomas (Tommy) M. Shaw, Jr., 67, of Jasper, Georgia, passed away Sunday, June 26, 2022. Tommy was born in Atlanta, Georgia on December 16, 1954 to the late Thomas M. Shaw and Marguerite Symms Shaw. He was a graduate of Cherokee High School, class of 1972 before attending Southern Technical Institute, where he received his Civil Engineering degree. Tommy was a member of the First Baptist Church in Jasper, Georgia. Tommy was best known for his kind and generous heart, playful personality, and great sense of humor. He was a devoted husband to the late Judy Holmes Shaw and father and grandfather who loved his children and grandchildren more than anything. God gave Tommy the gift of spending his last day on this Earth riding through the mountains on his Harley Davidson before calling him home in the waining hours of Sunday evening. When Tommy wasn't riding his bike, you might find him spending time with family and friends at "The Creek", sailing in the Caribbean, cheering for Georgia Tech, singing in the church choir or watching his grandson play baseball. He could always be counted on to help a friend in need. At Shaw Supply he served as de facto psychiatrist and philosopher while also finding hard to locate products as he swapped tales with his customers, or striking up a conversation with people about practically any subject. Tommy never met a stranger - not here nor anywhere on Earth. He is survived by his sons, Tripp Shaw and wife, Erin Carpenter Shaw of Ball Ground, Cooper Shaw and fiancee Taylor Park of Dothan, Alabama; grandchildren, Grayson and Emma Kate of Ball Ground, sisters, Martha Shaw, and Kathryn Amos; sister-in-law and dear friend, Janet Davis; brother and sister-in-law, Ricky and Connie Holmes as well as nieces, Lina Davis, Maria Campano, Candra Sellers; nephew, Tyler Holmes and numerous Shaw cousins. Funeral services will be held on Friday, July 1, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at the First Baptist Church of Jasper with Dr. Jimmy Lewis and Rev. Preston Jones officiating. Family will receive friends on Thursday evening from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m at Roper Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Judy Shaw Memorial Scholarship Fund in care of Piedmont Mountainside Auxiliary, Piedmont Mountainside Hospital, 1266 Hwy 515 South, Jasper, GA 30143.
