Timothy Michael Shaw, age 35, of Winchester, Tennessee, passed away on October 31, 2026, at Lutheran General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. He was born in Chicago on January 15, 1991, to Tina (Baldwin) Miller. Timothy had a bubbly personality and a smile and voice that could light up any room. Timothy had a gift for making others laugh and never met a stranger. He enjoyed music; there was not a time that he was around that he was not listening to music. Loving, caring, and happy, he had a huge heart and was always willing to help those in need. He cherished time spent with his family, especially gathering for barbecues, and loved his nieces and nephews more than anything, always remembering their birthdays with a phone call.
Timothy shared a special bond with his mother, calling daily to check on her, ask her advice, and remind her that he loved her. No matter how far away he was, he never missed the opportunity to come to her birthdays. Those everyday conversations meant so much and will be deeply missed. Timothy was a Christian and worked as a truck driver, enjoying the opportunity to travel and see new places, especially between Tennessee and Chicago. Through his work, he also helped transport supplies to people in need. He was always listening to music and enjoyed singing along. He also enjoyed being on the water, riding jet skis, spending time with dogs, and cheering on the Chicago Bears. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Kathy and John Baldwin; cousins, J.J. and Keith Shaw; and aunt, Minnie. Timothy is survived by his loving mother, Tina (Stacey) Miller; daughter, Kylee Shaw; siblings, Markie Shaw (Victoria), Jessica Shaw (Kevin), Ashley Shaw, Destiny (Brian) Kirk, Whitley Smith (Blue) Sara Shaw, and Drew Smith; uncles, Ronnie Baldwin, and Richard Deane; aunt, Wendy Sweeton; nieces and nephews, Jason Sweeton, Kaylee Sweeton, Jacob Sweeton, Addison Nunley, Mia Burks, Myla Burks, Malia Shaw, Adeline Kirk, Aubrey Kirk, Kamari Morrow, Coi Pentecost, and Legend Shaw; brother in law, Jr; and many other extended family members and friends.
