On October 2, 2024, Timothy Martin Shaw III, of Philadelphia, PA, passed away peacefully at Lankenau Medical Center, Penn Wynne, PA.  He was 79 years old.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late Timothy Shaw, Jr. and Hilda Dickerson Shaw. Timothy was affectionately known as Butch by his family and friends.

Butch was a proud veteran of the United States Navy, where he served with honor and dedication until he was honorably discharged.

After his military service, Butch found joy in helping others and became well-known in his community for his skills in home repair. Whether it was a big or small repair, he was always ready to lend a hand. His commitment to service extended to his volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity in Coatesville, where he spent countless hours building hope for those in need.

Butch was a man of wisdom and had great knowledge of a variety of subjects. He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge in Philadelphia.

Butch's greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted family man and cherished every moment spent with his children.

An avid music lover, Butch enjoyed dancing and singing to the oldies. The Stylistics and other classic tunes would often fill his home, providing the soundtrack to many cherished family gatherings. His lively dance moves brought smiles to everyone around him.

He leaves behind his wife, Robin Boggs Shaw; his children: Nicole Shaw, Keisha Shaw, Renaldo Horton, Tracey Horton, Eric Horton, and Troy Horton; his brother, Charles Shaw and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Butch was preceded in death by his daughter, Tina Shaw; son, Timothy Shaw; sister, Marie Shaw; brothers, Gregory Shaw, and Gordie Shaw.
