Michael Shan Helton

Shan grew up in East Cobb and graduated from Wheeler High School in 1993. He went on to The University of Georgia and was a member of the Chi Psi fraternity. He graduated in 1997. He followed in his Dad’s footsteps and quickly started a successful career in commercial real estate. He held various different positions throughout his career. His last position was with IDI as Vice President of Investments.

After “retiring” in 2016, he became self employed and continued to work in Real Estate. He moved to his dream life out in Colorado and Utah and continued his love of skiing, mountain biking, hiking and being with his dogs, Rebel and Skye, who he adored.

Shan moved several times over the years and just moved back home to be near family and friends.

Shan is preceded in death by both his parents Bob and Phyllis Helton and nephew, Grant Wright. He is survived by his two loving sisters, Pamela Helton Dennis (Scott) and Debbie Helton Wright (Phil). He is also survived by nieces Magen Dennis Nelson (Bryan); great nieces, Cora Lee and Emma Jane Nelson, Meredith Dennis Beck (Tim); great nephew and niece, Pierce Helton and Hattie James Beck, Mary Ashlynn Dennis, Tanner Allen Lee, Reece Anna-Marie and Cole William Helton Wright. He is also survived by his beloved dog, Rebel, who Shan cared and loved far more than we will ever know.
