Cremation for Keith J. Shaw
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Erin Rudolph, cousin to Sandy (Rudolph) Shaw. As many of you may know, her husband, Keith Shaw, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 20, 2022. Keith was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy and Peripheral Artery Disease back in 2015, a rare and debilitating progressive genetic disease. Over the past year, it was close to impossible for Keith to continue working his business as an electrician so he would teach Sandy so she could work alongside him when possible but it was still not enough to keep them afloat so they had to live off savings. About a month, ago Keiths neuropathy "flared" leaving him bedbound for days on end, unable to eat or even move at times. On Saturday November 19, my cousin Sandy woke to find him nonresponsive (he had taken his own life). The paramedics were able to get his heart beating again but he had been without oxygen for so long, his brain died. As an organ doner, Keith was able to donate his heart, liver, lungs and kidneys to recipients and the rest of his viable tissues and organs went to science research. I am asking that you all join me in donating to help Sandy fund the cremation of her beloved husband and to help both her and his son during this incredibly challenging time.
