Bryan John Shaw was one of six children born to John & Madeline Shaw of Claremont, Ca. on Oct 18, 1949. Bryan, lovingly referred to by many as BShaw, went to the Lord Oct 18, 2017 after a 3 year battle with cancer. He died peacefully at his home in Rancho Cucamonga while surrounded by his wife, children, and in-laws Sheila and Tom Mitchell.
Although his love of sports led him to coach high school and college football early in his career, Bryan was an educator at heart. He spent 40 years teaching kids, guiding teachers and mentoring administrators in Glendora, Rim of the World, and Charter Oak school districts.
Bryan is survived by his wife of 41 years, Sharon McCarthy Shaw, sons Matt and Brett (wife Shelly and grandson Owen) and daughter Courtney. Bryan is also survived by brothers Dennis, Jerry, and Ed and sisters Regina Bailey and Andrea Moore. He will also be missed by his very large extended family of in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews. Bryan defined his priorities early in life, that of Faith, Family and Friends and held true to these priorities his entire life. Bryan was an example to all with his servant's heart, positive attitude and gentle spirit. We are all thankful to know he will hear these words from his Lord and Savior, "Well done good and faithful servant.”
Services will be held at St. Anthony's church in Upland on Saturday Oct. 28 at 1:00pm. Reception to follow at Upland Hills Country Club, Upland, CA. In lieu of flowers consider bringing a childrens book to be donated to local childrens hospitals.

I am so sorry to learn of Bryan's passing. He was such a kind person. All of us in the class of '67 remember him so fondly. He worked hard, played hard and spoke softly. I remember him with such warmth.
Ronald Clark (1967)
So sad. I knew Bryan when he lived on Kimball Ave. in Pomona. There house backed up to Palomares Park where we would play.
Megan "Mimi" Gage (Parnell) (1967)
So sorry to hear of Bryan's passing. I remember him as a quiet guy.

Sending condolences to his family too. It's always hard to see one of our own leave.
Thomas Beyer (1967)
Rest in Peace, Bryan. And to all those in Bryan's family and circle of friends: What a privilege it was know him and play football along side him. Even as a player and a young man I appreciated his being like a coach on the field, which foretold his becoming the great coach and teacher he was in his adult life. My heartfelt condolences to all.

Bryan was the kindest gentle giant I ever knew...he was such a popular football player at CHS but my locker was above his and I was a nobody...but he always helped me get my books when I needed help.
Michael Levine (1967)
B Shaw was the best baseball player on the team: talented, confident, even playful. I was likely the least capable, a situation made worse by my constant struggles with anxiety, doubt, and self-consciousness. I will continue to remember Bryan's kindness, compassion, and humility toward me and others.
Jane Wittich (Tock) (1967)
Bryan Shaw was a true gentleman. I am holding his family in prayer 🙏 This is such a difficult time.
Phillip Hofmann (1967)
Bryan Shaw was a most special individual who did all he could to make the world a better place. Those who came in contact with him were indeed fortunate to have known him. I join my classmates in celebrating his life!
