Eric Todd Shaw

Eric Todd Shaw, of Norman, Oklahoma, passed away on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, at the age of 57. He was born on January 10, 1965, in Tampa, Florida. He was the youngest son of John Wesley Shaw and Darlene Janet (Stickney) Shaw of Augusta, Georgia.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Kristi (Shaw) Williams of New Ellenton, South Carolina.

He is survived by his daughter Dr. Shyvonne Gray and her husband Justin of Edmond, Oklahoma, and their children Kai and Sterling; his daughter Tristianne Asbury and her husband Jesse of Norman, Oklahoma, and their son Tramaine; his daughter Bryttani Wood of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and her children Dalton and Ryder; the mother of his children Dana Northrup of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and her husband Tony, whom Eric had grown very close to; his sister Vicki Harris of Germany and her son Nick; his brother John Shaw of Augusta, Georgia, and his children John David and Jessica; his sister Kristi’s children Matthew and Jordan; and close friends who became part of the family Kiren Alberry and his wife Courtney of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and their daughter Aubrianne.

Eric was a class of 1983 graduate of Butler High School in Augusta, Georgia. He joined the Air Force after graduating and was stationed at Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City, Oklahoma, where he met Dana and started his family. They were stationed in England and South Dakota before settling back in Oklahoma. Over the years, he worked in a variety of career fields before finding his true passion as an over the road truck driver. He worked for Melton Truck Lines out of Tulsa, Oklahoma for the past 12 years. He was an accomplished driver, earning distinctions such as an Ambassador for his company, as well as a spot in the Million Milers Club for driving one million miles without an accident.

Eric’s biggest passion, however, was his family. He was happiest when surrounded by his daughters, grandchildren, and granddogs. His time spent at home always involved family game nights and a meal he cooked for everyone. His sense of humor and capacity for love were unmatched. He was a loving father, grandfather, and friend whose presence will be greatly missed by many.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 5th, 2:00PM, at Primrose Funeral Home, 1109 N Porter Ave, Norman, OK, 73071.
