Arrangements are in the care of Johnson Funeral Home in Effingham, IL. Online condolences may be shared at www.johnsonandsonsfh.com.<\/p>\n<p>Mark is survived by his brother Chuck McCoy, of Monroe Ohio, his brother in-law Michael Chapple of Atlanta, Georgia, and his nieces Misty Cowan of Scottsdale, Arizona and Mandy Cowan of Brussels, Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>Mark was a devoted member of the Effingham Church of Christ since birth and enjoyed regular communion and singing with fellow worshippers at weekly services. Mark was a loyal fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys, and his unwavering love for country music was apparent in his remarkable CD collection. Mark is remembered as a kind, gentle, funny, and inquisitive person who always made people smile with his friendly daily greetings. He could regularly be seen around town at the mall, Steak-n-Shake, Fifth Third Bank, Walmart, and Chick-Fil-A saying, \u201cHey girl; I\u2019ll see you later!\u201d Mark\u2019s gentle and loving nature was a gift to all of those he met, and he was greatly loved in return. May he rest in peace with God\u2019s eternal blessings.<\/p>\n<p>If you desire to share condolences, you can send a card to 2821 Sherwood Rd SE Smyrna, GA 30082. Please no flowers.<\/p>\n<p>1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NIV)<br \/>\nBelievers Who Have Died<br \/>\n13\u00a0 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.\u00a0 14\u00a0 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.\u00a0 15\u00a0 According to the Lord\u2019s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.\u00a0 16\u00a0 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.\u00a0 17\u00a0 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.\u00a0 18\u00a0 Therefore encourage one another with these words.<\/p>\n<p>Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. ~Amen~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Wayne Shaw, passed away peacefully on Friday April 18th 2025 at Lakeland Rehabilitation &amp; Health Care Center in Effingham, Illinois at the age of 70.
