Eric Ramon Shaw of Oklahoma City passed away from liver complications on September 19th, 2016, 13 days after his 34th birthday. He is survived by his wife Mandi Myers of Mustang and his 4 children, Thomas Lamkin IV 13, Bentley Lamkin 9, Khloe Bass 5 and Skye Shaw 3; his parents, Eric Shaw Sr. and wife Kimberly Shaw of Oklahoma City, and Amy Serna of El Paso, TX; his grandparents, Sara Gutierrez of El Paso, Charles and Mary Shaw of OKC, and Elijah and Brenda Hill of OKC; his siblings, Tiffany Shaw of Lufkin TX, Xavier Serna of El Paso, Cody Shaw and son Cole of OKC, Cameron Shaw of Shawnee, Jessie Serna of El Paso, and Cassidy Shaw of OKC, as well as, numerous cousins, aunts and in-laws who loved him dearly. Eric is also survived by many close friends. This gentle giant had over 2000 friends and family on Facebook, whom he had touched in some way. He was born in Manassas, VA, on September 6, 1982 to Eric Shaw and Amy Serna. He was a dedicated member of the A.A.U., U.S. Grant and Putnam City West basketball teams. His 6' 5" frame and easy athleticism made him a dominating player. In 2001, he graduated from Putnam City West and then went on to graduate from the Platt College Culinary Arts Program in 2004. He was a truly gifted chef, routinely showing off his skills in the kitchen, always crediting his mother Amy for his culinary gifts and bragging about his Mexican heritage. He was a member of the highly awarded Wolf Pack BBQ team of Enid, Oklahoma. If you ever asked, Eric would confidently tell you that he "cooked better than your grandmother." Eric loved the Thunder, the Sooners, golf, the lake, family, friends, movies, Randy Watson, Sexual Chocolate, quoting the movie Life and so many other things. Eric hated hot beer and mean people. He was an entertainer and a professional mixologist who never missed an opportunity to laugh his huge laugh, smile his big smile and give giant hugs that let you know beyond a doubt Eric Shaw loved you and had your back. Visitation will be at the funeral home from 9 am - 9 pm Thursday, with the family present to receive friends from 7 pm - 9 pm. Memorial service will be held 2 pm Friday, September 23, 2016, at People's Church, 800 W. Britton Road. Honorary pallbearers will be Surge Kurtovic, Will Johnson, Anthony Tryon, Thomas Lamkin IV, Bentley Steven, and Cameron and Cody Shaw.
