We said goodbye to a dear friend (recently) — a man whose quiet voice but determined spirit and generous gifts made an impact on countless numbers of young people and those in need.
From the many women and children who sought and received refuge in a safe, clean and comfortable home over the past 20 years to the individuals who learned alternative behaviors to the violent and abusive ones that they had previously only known, David Shaw made a difference. He was willing to put his energy, resources, and time into a cause that was often seen as less than popular, and at times, controversial. He committed to learning the impact of interpersonal violence on victims and their families and took the opportunity to enlighten and teach others wherever he could.
On behalf of the Pee Dee Coalition, its volunteers, boards and staff as well as all who have benefited from this man’s gifts we say to David’s family thank you for sharing him in his efforts to make the Pee Dee a safer, more compassionate place to live.
