Roll Call Tribute

Edward H. "Henry" Shaw, Jr. 

February 22, 1928 - September 28, 2024 

Edward Henry Shaw passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Saturday, September 28th, 2024 at the age of 96.

He was a man of great strength in both soul and heart. He loved his family dearly, which included his dogs, cats, goats, horses and even a few turtles.

Growing up in Midland, Texas, attending Texas A&M University, becoming a landman, playing polo, raising and racing horses, dancing, singing in musicals, playing golf, growing a garden known “as where the green things grow”, were all part of his rich and full life.

He was especially proud to serve our country, joining the U.S. Navy in World War II.

His great love and great laugh will be missed by all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Lone Star Sanctuary for Animals, or charity of your choice.

The family would like to give special thanks to the Visiting Angels and Home Hospice for their kindness and care.

The Shaw family will have a private graveside service. Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland. Online condolences can be made at www.npwelch.com.
