A GoFundMe has been created to help support Shaw's family. That effort has raised more than $47,500 of the $50,000 being sought.
"The Shaw family have been woven into the fabric of the Sudbury community for years," according to the GoFundMe account. "The loss of Kevin — husband, father, brother, son, uncle, unparalleled friend, neighbor and helper — is a tragedy beyond words. This fund is being set up to allow the community to contribute to future needs for the family."
