Shaddix loved to remember growing up in Shinbone Valley until he moved to Sycamore where he made many friends while working at Avondale Mills. In 1964, he began his career with the Department of Public Safety, Highway Patrol Division, and served the State of Alabama and its citizens until he retired as a Lieutenant in Montgomery in 1989. After returning to Sylacauga, he continued working for another 17 years as a security guard for Alabama Power Company. Then it was time to sit in the swing when the weather was warm and enjoy Gunsmoke when the weather was cold. He was predeceased by his mother and father, two sisters, Ida Paul (Clyde) Blanchard and Sandra Carlisle, and step-daughter Lisa Kay (Jeff) Willis.
