    Gilbert Eugene Shaver

    January 5, 1927 - April 28, 2022

    Gilbert, age 95, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, April 28, 2022. He was a native of Iowa and a resident of Hammond, LA. Gilbert proudly served his country in the United States Air Force where he served in WWII and the Korean Conflict. He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and was a lifeguard in his younger years. Gilbert was always quick to help others and took great pride in providing for his family. He enjoyed sailing, going camping in his RV, and in his spare time could be found puttering at his workbench. Family was the most important thing to Gilbert, and he believed in spending quality time as a family. He adored his wife, loved his children, and cherished his grandchildren deeply. Gilbert was truly a remarkable man that left his family with a lifetime of memories. He will be forever missed. He is survived by his wife, Mary Shaver; one daughter; two sons; three grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Gilbert is preceded in death by his parents; one sister; one brother; and one granddaughter. A private family service will be held at a later date.
