Acey Ryan Shaw

DIETRICH – Acey Ryan Shaw, born April 20, 1974, in Jerome, Idaho, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on September 14, 2025, at the age of 51. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend, Acey spent his life rooted in faith, family, and hard work.

Acey was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From 1993 to 1995, he served as a missionary in the California San Diego Mission, where he loved sharing the gospel and bearing testimony of Jesus Christ. His love for missionary work and the Savior remained with him throughout his life, influencing the way he served his family, friends, and community.

On June 22, 1996, Acey was sealed for time and all eternity to the love of his life, Jalyn Belle Howard, in the Portland Oregon Temple. Together they built a home filled with love, laughter, and devotion. He was the proud father of three children and the adoring grandfather of five grandchildren. His family was his greatest joy, and he treasured every moment spent with them.

Acey attended Ricks College and later completed his bachelor’s degree at Utah State University in Crop and Soil Science. His education deepened his passion for agriculture and prepared him for a lifetime of farming, a work he truly loved.

In 2011, Acey was diagnosed with an illness that he courageously endured for 14 years. Despite his challenges, he continued to dedicate himself to his family and community. He coached for 20 years, throughout those years his teams won four state championships, three second-place finishes, and one third-place title, appearing at the state tournament 15 times. His influence extended far beyond the basketball court, where he built lasting relationships and inspired countless young athletes with his leadership, encouragement, and love of the game.

He was happiest when ranching, farming the land he cherished, coaching basketball, and spending time with his loved ones. Whether in the field, on the court, or at home, he gave his whole heart to everything he did. His work ethic, encouragement, and kindness left a mark not only on his family, but also on the countless young athletes and friends whose lives he touched.

Acey is survived by his loving wife, Jalyn; their children, Jacey Bateman (Clint) of Nephi, Utah, Kade Shaw (Sarah) of Dietrich, Idaho, and Jett Shaw (Malia) of Paul, Idaho; grandchildren, Taytum, Bentley, Archie, Scottie, and Quinn; his parents, Hubert and Rita Shaw; his brother, Andy Shaw; and his three sisters, Cammy Berthelson, Colette Harris, and Alicia Rivoli. He will be remembered for his devotion to family, his love of farming and ranching, his passion for coaching, and his unwavering generosity.

Acey’s family finds peace in the knowledge that families are eternal and look forward to the day they will be reunited with him again. As the Savior taught, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25).
