Lee Togo Shaw Jr. "T-Bone"

Lee Togo “T-Bone” Shaw Jr. 1934-2024

 T-Bone was born on December 12, 1934, in New London, TX to Lee Togo Shaw Sr. and Tennie Bell (Childress), passed away August 31, 2024 in Casper, WY. Services will be held Saturday, September 7, 2024 at 10:00 am at Newcomer’s Funeral Home.

When T-Bone was a little boy, his siblings were attending The New London School in 1937 when a natural gas leak caused an explosion killing more than 300 students and teachers. Because of this incident, natural gas is mandated to have an odor to help prevent disasters such as this. 

T-Bone had polio three times before the age of 12. Doctors believed the cause was coming from his teeth, so they removed them at this young age. We believe he had Post Polio Syndrome that caused his bones to become weaker as he aged.

T-Bone was the fourth child of five. He had three older sisters, Betty, Billy, and Jessie, and a younger brother, Pete who have all since passed away.

After his time in the United States Air Force, he worked most of his life in the oil field and after retiring decided to give consulting work a try. He and some of his closest friends were quite ornery and pulled many pranks on others. They always had wonderful times and many good laughs when they spent time together. He was one of the kindest, most gentle, and loving people to those of us who had the pleasure of knowing him.

He had three children with his first wife, Sue, which ended in divorce in 1979.

He married the love of his life, as he would call her “His Bride”, Nancy in 1980. With this marriage he acquired two more sons.

He loved hunting, fishing, camping, going to his daughter’s house for barbeques, and Friday night Dairy Queen meals with his granddaughter and her husband.

T-Bone is preceded in death by his parents, siblings, as well as his youngest son, Carlos.

He is survived by Nancy, his beautiful bride of 44 years, his daughter Robin (Randy) Knudson, son Randy (Eddie) Frye, son Jim Frye, and daughter-in-law Sue. He also leaves behind many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, a few “adopted sons” and so many friends he made over the years that he loved dearly.

He never knew a stranger and would visit with anyone and everyone when he was given the opportunity. He spent the last nine months in LifeCare where everyone knew who he was and was loved by all.

Honorary Pallbearers will be Christina, Asa, Michael, Andy, Pat, Warren, Randy K, Randy F, and Jim.

A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00am, Saturday, September 7, 2024, at Newcomer Casper Chapel.  To View his services, please visit https://view.oneroomstreaming.com/index.php?data=MTcyNTYwODM5MDMyNzA2NCZvbmVyb29tLWFkbWluJmNvcHlfbGluaw==
