Michael Jason Shew

Michael Jason Shew, 42, of Ronda, North Carolina, passed away on March 14, 2026. Born on December 3, 1983, in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, Michael spent his life immersed in the beauty and community of the region he called home.

A skilled mechanic at Brushy Mountain Powersports, Michael turned his passion for motorcycles and ATVs into a career that showcased his meticulous craftsmanship and love for adventure. His work was not just a job but a testament to his dedication and precision. Outside of the shop, Michael embraced life with a vibrant spirit. He found joy in playing video games, riding motorcycles and ATVs through the Carolina landscapes, and cherishing moments with family and friends. A gifted musician and writer, Michael expressed himself through the melodies of his guitar and the poignant lines of his poetry.

Michael is survived by his mother, Rita Wilmoth; his brother Joshua Shew; his identical twin brother Matthew Shew and wife Brianna; and his cherished nieces Kailey and Emily Shew, whom he lovingly referred to as his "girls." He was preceded in death by his father, Jesse Shew, and stepfather, Ricky Wilmoth.

Those who knew Michael will remember him as a gentle soul whose unwavering devotion to family defined much of his life. Though known for a touch of stubbornness that added to his charm, it was his warmth and selflessness that left an indelible mark on all who crossed his path. His presence brought light to every gathering, creating memories that will forever be treasured.

May Michael’s memory serves as a source of comfort to those who loved him deeply
