My Story…
Their story:
On February 19, 2019, William Shaw died in a tragic ski accident while on vacation with his family in Big Sky, MT. He was 9 years old, in 3rd grade at the Carlisle Public School.
William was a true individual. He was known to his friends and family as a kind and quirky kid with wild, wavy blonde hair. He could always be found wearing flat brimmed hats and skinny jeans. He loved what he deemed "extreme" sports, including parkour, skateboarding, mountain biking, and ski racing. William was as comfortable rapping the lyrics to Hamilton as he was climbing the backstop at his brother's baseball game, and he easily became a friend to anyone he met. His heart was huge and he loved with every inch of his bean-pole body.
William also struggled with anxiety and self doubt. Through work with a therapist, he learned how to manage his mental obstacles and discovered how to be true to himself. "Be Yourself" was an intention he set for himself in 2018, and for the last year of his life he fully embraced this spirit. His enthusiasm infected all those around him, and his friends have since strived to embody the beautiful mantra of "Be Yourself."
