Charles Anthony (Tony) Shaw, 75, passed away on December 1, 2021 in his home in Prescott, Arizona after a hard-fought battle with cancer stemming from the ravaging effects of exposure to Agent Orange during his service in the Vietnam War in 1969-70. He was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri to Charles M. and Joyce Shaw. He met his beloved wife Patricia in high school, and they became best friends and committed companions for over 53 years of marriage. He attended West Point and graduated from the University of Missouri. One year later, he served his country as a 1st Lieutenant in Vietnam in the Armored Cavalry of the 25th Infantry Division of the US Army and received a Purple Heart among other medals. After Vietnam, he attended the University of New Mexico School of Law and received his Doctor of Jurisprudence and embarked on a 46 year career as a lawyer in Prescott, Arizona where he was known and respected all over the state for taking on the big guys to help the little guys fight for their rights. In 2012, he received the Jack L Ogg Award for Community Service and Advancing and Improving the Legal Profession. Tony further served his community as an active member of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Sunup Rotary Club, Vietnam Veterans of America (especially in the Vietnam Veterans Restoration Project missions), and the Yavapai Education Foundation among others. He loved camping, fishing, boating, hiking and mountain biking in his chosen state of Arizona. Tony is survived by his spouse, Pat Shaw, daughter Bonnie Sanderford (Dorian), twin sons Michael (Sebrina) and Daniel (Alyssa) Shaw and five grandsons. A private ceremony will take place at the Prescott National Cemetery later this month with a Celebration of Life planned for friends next year. Follow Bonnie Sanderford on Facebook for details.
