Edison Shaw, Curlew, WA — The community of Curlew is mourning the loss of Edison Shaw, who passed away on July 15th, 2024, at 7:40 A.M. He was surrounded by his loved ones and left peacefully in his sleep while listening to his favorite music. Edison was 68 years old.
Edison was a cherished father, friend, and community member, known for his warm spirit and love for music. His daughter, Emily Butschke, expressed her deep sorrow and gratitude for the support the family has received.

Emily has organized a GoFundMe fundraiser to help cover the costs of Edison’s cremation, funeral, and to support the family during this difficult time. The VA only covers a portion of the cremation expenses, so the community’s help is needed. The fundraiser has raised $250 so far out of the $7,500 goal, with contributions from donors like Paul Cavnar and an anonymous supporter.
The funeral service is scheduled for September 21st at 1:00 P.M. at Stotts RV Park, 5 Vulcan Mountain Rd., Curlew, WA. The family plans to honor Edison with a concert, celebrating his love for music.
The community has shown an outpouring of love and support through Facebook posts. Dewayn Fritz shared his condolences, saying, "I’m sorry to hear about Edison, and the pain your family is going through." Emily responded, expressing how much she will miss her father and thanking Dewayn for his kind words.
Edison’s memory will live on through the love he shared and the joy he brought to everyone around him. His final wish was to donate any remaining funds to the school music programs at Curlew and Republic schools, continuing his legacy of nurturing a love for music in future generations.
