Thomas D. Shakeshaft 1967 - 2022

Thomas "Tom" D. Shakeshaft, 55, passed away on July 19, 2022, in Oak Park, IL.

Tom was born on March 27, 1967, in Boulder, CO, to Alston J. "Jerry" and Emmy H. Shakeshaft.

He earned his BA at Dartmouth College and his JD at the University of Iowa. Tom's distinguished legal career included a clerkship in the 8th Circuit, roles at several prestigious law firms in New York and Chicago, and 11 years as an Assistant United States Attorney in Chicago. Nothing made Tom prouder, however, than his three beautiful children, Julia, Sadie, and Will.

He is survived by them as well as his sister, Kate Murray of Gainesville, FL, and his cousins, Jennifer Christian, Kat Harting, Maggie Moore, and Don Harting.

A celebration of life will be held in Chicago on October 8.

Contributions may be made in Tom's memory to the Shakeshaft Memorial Fund at the Iowa State University Foundation, 2505 University Boulevard, Ames, IA 50010.
