John W. Shaver

May 1950-July 2017

John leaves behind his friends who will miss him greatly. He was not only a gifted artist, but a poet who understood the fragility of life balanced by its precious, but elusive beauty. John was gentle, piercingly intelligent but most of all a kind and caring friend. He is preceded in death by his mother Betty, his sister Karen and his beloved cat, Evinrude. May John’s beautiful soul finally be at peace.
