Tribal Elder LeRoy Leon Shaw was born June 8, 1951, in Toledo, Ore. He passed away after a long cancer battle on Oct. 15, 2013, at home with his wife, Susan Shaw, and loving family members during his last two weeks of life.

He was a lifetime truck driver and had served in both the Marine Corps and Army. He adored his three grandchildren, Simon, Sabrina and Henry.
