Steve "Coach" Mack Shaver, Sr.

I was a soph when coach Shaver first came to French from Dell Valle H.S. I remember the 1st meeting we all had with him in the field house. I think that was in 1971. He introduced his coaching staff and told us he was there to stay. We were all glad as at that time at French we were plagued with all the wrong people playing all the wrong positions for all the wrong reasons. That all came to an end and we started winning. Sorry I haven't posted earlier and I extend my sympathies to the family of Coach Shaver.

mrs shaver and family,
my family, the golsons', dolores & mack, kyle (c/o 76' FHS), craig (c/o 80' FHS) and myself, (c/o 83' FHS) have such great memories of coach shaver! i believe my brother, craig golson, gave coach the most trouble im sure of it, haha (in a good way)! each of us have such respect for your husband, & father and he was a great coach and amazing guy!
just wanted all of you to know that we are praying for your family, God will not let you go through this alone. HE will be with you ALL THE WAY! He will comfort you, each of you, and give you strength and courage to carry on. i've loved reading all the memories, each one, on here has of coach, and my family will cherish our memories of him as well.
know that the storm being bigger than us, will one day be calm. joy will come in the morning...with sincerest sympathy, kristen golson-fuller

So many memories of Coach Shaver so many years ago. It does not seem like it has been 40 plus years ago when us boys first meet the coach and began playing football for him and his staff. Looking back it is now very apparant that these men helped to shape our lives. God must have needed some advice on football cause he promoted the coach. I hope to play on Coach Shavers team once again. Go Big Bill....We shall see you later coach....

My thoughts and my prayers go out to the entire family. Dee Dee, Steve Mack, David and Shannon. From the little sister on Homer Drive.

Shannon and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.

Coach was inspiration to so many young men throughout the years. It is a tribute to him that I saw so many former players of his who are now in the coaching and teaching profession at the viewing last night. Coach has inspired many of us (myself included) to enter this profession to leave legacies like Coach did. I only hope that I do as good of job as he did as a mentor, husband, and father.. To the family, take comfort in the fact that Coach lives on in the lives of every young man he touched.
Gos Bless

May God send his angels of comfort to wrap their arms around each of you during your time of sorrow. I am sorry for y'alls loss and the loss of the community. He was a great man and will be sorely missed. Thoughts and prayers to each of you.

Steve Shaver was a man among men in a competitive, positive and honorable way.
Our sympathy goes out to David, Rachael and entire Shaver family.

He was and awesome coach and will be greatly missed.May God Bless you all in your time of need. That he will give you all the strength you need in the days ahead. Just know he is looking down upon you all.

The greatest tribute a person can have is that they had a positive influence on a lot of lives . Steve Shaver has that legacy. And I consider it a privilege and an honor to say that Steve was my friend and team mate on the 1961 Lone Star Conference Football Champions
