Jack Shine, founder and president of American Beauty Homes and a key figure in the development of affordable housing for veterans in the Santa Clarita Valley, died Thursday. He was 82.
A prominent home builder, Shine worked tirelessly to provide their support into making Santa Clarita a better place, according to a recent news release from COC officials when the college honored Shine’s and his wife Doreen’s philanthropy.
That dedication to the community led the College of the Canyons Foundation to name the Shines the recipients of the college’s “Silver Spur” Community Service Award for 2017.
Shine has played a large role in redefining the Santa Clarita Valley’s landscape, particularly Canyon Country, by building trendy and affordable homes for many first-time homebuyers.
