Obituary
Blaine Leon Shaw, 70, passed away at home on December 27, 2015, after suffering from brain cancer.
Blaine was born June 5, 1945, in Idaho Falls, to Kenneth C. Shaw and Ruby D. Gray Shaw. He grew up in the Rexburg - Burton area and attended Madison High School and Ricks College.
He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served two missions for the church. The first in the Great Lakes Mission from 1965 - 1967, the second with his loving wife in Mena, Arkansas from 2012 - 2014.
Blaine was drafted into the US Army and served in South Korea from 1969 - 1971.
He was married for time and all eternity to Diana Stoddard on June 5, 1968, in the Idaho Falls Temple. Together they raised a family that became the source of Blaine's greatest happiness and joy. Blaine and Diana have seven children and 20 grandchildren.
Blaine and Diana lived most of their lives in the Rexburg area, and then retired to live in the Ririe, Idaho area. Blaine was active in the LDS Church and served wherever he was called. He and his wife were serving in the Rexburg temple when he became sick with cancer.
He was a general contractor in the Upper Snake River Valley for over 40 years. He loved to build and took great pride in his work. He loved working with wood. Blaine felt that he lived in one of the most beautiful areas on earth and he spent as much time as he could enjoying the outdoors.
He is survived by his wife Diana; children Jason (Maria) Shaw, Jared (Sherri) Shaw, Jon (Tracy) Shaw, AnaLee (Aaron) Fish, Angela (Scott) Belnap, Andrea (Mark) Johnson; siblings Kenneth Shaw, Beverly Lichtenberg, Sally Sharp, Colleen Hodges, Carl Shaw, JoAnn Wright and Jack Shaw; step-sisters Lois Peterson and Shirley Williams.
