Toney is the general manager at Planet Fitness.</p><p>“It feels like yesterday. It feels like I just got that phone call. It feels like I just talked to him. And I would give anything for a hug. Anything. Anything to see his smile. To hear his stupid laugh. Or see his stupid dance moves. Because he couldn’t dance. His presence is missing,” Toney said.</p><p>Shaw went from experiencing homelessness to managing a gym. A year after his death, Penny said she still talks to him and hopes he is proud of the person she has become.</p><p>“He knew that I had it. He believed in me before I could believe in myself,” Penny said.</p><h2>Case against Jeremy Scarth</h2><p>Savannah police say Jeremy Scarth shot and killed Shaw outside Little Lucky’s Bar and Pub on Gateway Boulevard, off Highway 204, on Nov. 12 of last year.</p><p>Scarth faces a murder charge. A trial is scheduled for February.</p><h2>Heroes in the Sky Foundation</h2><p>Shaw co-founded Heroes in the Sky, a foundation honoring veterans and first responders lost to suicide.</p><p>His co-founder, James Collins, said the two became like brothers. Collins said he wants people to remember what Shaw did with the time he had.</p><p>“It’s, it’s, it’s what you do in that dash. It’s the people you impact and it’s, it’s what you leave behind that matters,” Collins said.</p></div></body>
