Blaine Shaw Buckway

Blaine Shaw Buckway, age 67 of Syracuse, Utah, passed away January 20, 2026 after a brief battle with brain cancer (glioblastoma), while in the compassionate care of the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Blaine was born on October 10, 1958 in Boise, Idaho to George Jacob Buckway Jr. and Patricia Lorene Shaw.

He graduated from Viewmont High School in Bountiful, Utah in the class of 1976. From 1978 to 1980, Blaine served in the Philippines Cebu Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he developed a lifelong love for the people and culture of the Philippines. After the completion of his mission, Blaine went on to graduate from Ogden-Weber Vocational Center as a master electrician. He spent the next 40 years honing his craft and taking great pride in mentoring and training apprentice electricians.

Blaine loved the outdoors and could often be found on the golf course, fishing on the river, or hunting ducks in the marsh. More than just hobbies, these pursuits were opportunities for connection—ones he eagerly shared with friends, family and others.

An active member of his LDS faith, Blaine’s testimony was woven into every part of his life. He served faithfully in numerous callings and gave generously of his time and talents throughout the years.

Blaine is survived by his children, Brandon and Brittani; grandchildren, Emree and Ford; step-grandchildren, Hunter and McCoy; siblings, George III (Teresa), David (Eva), Lorene Buckway (Clinton Miner), Virginia Gross (Allen); as well as many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, George Jr. and Patricia; and older brother Robert.
