Shelton (Chasity) of Illinois; five Grandchildren, Jason Alvarez of Illinois, Callie Sellers of Georgia, Brandon Shelton of Colorado, Amanda Toliver of Georgia and Blake Bushnell of Florida; eight Great Grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and many good friends.

He is preceded in death by his Father and Mother, Moody and Georgia Shelton; sister, Roberta Shelton; and brother, Hartford Shelton.
