I will literally be eternally grateful that God sent Shamblin into my life.  He was instrumental in both bringing me to Jesus and then discipling me for nearly two years.  I look forward to celebrating with him in heaven!

You touched so many hearts and taught so many to sing......
Shamblin Stone.
I played your music on American Family Radio and I interviewed you on the air. You played at so many of my concerts. You taught my son to sing when he was in college.
You sang and preached at my dad's funeral. 
 Author, singer, songwriter, mentor, worship leader, husband, father and grandfather. Went to be with Jesus December 25, 2022.
 I will miss our long talks. I will think of you every time my husband sings because you taught him well.

Every day is one day closer to our Lord's return, and we shall be reunited with our loved ones in Heaven. What a day of rejoicing that will be! 
   We look forward to seeing you Shamblin. We can see you warming up with Heaven's choir and orchestra. 
   Thank You, Abba Father, for  protecting the Family from things they can see and things they can't, and Thank You for Your holy angels to stand guard around Chris & Shamblin's Family.
May the Blood of Jesus cover them and heal them. We are so thankful to call them Friends.
   Blessings, Tom & Laura Short

Shamblin sang at my dad's funeral service in 2019.

Shamblin Stone was a personal friend for 22 years.
I first met him while working for American Family Radio in 2000. I interviewed him on air and he claimed he could teach anyone to sing so, I sent my college age son to him for lessons. My son got a singing part in a college play at his next audition.
While I was with American Family Radio, I put on concerts all over the Wichita area using local artists that I found through my show "Spotlight on Local Artists". Shamblin Stone was a big part of those concerts along with his daughter, Sarah Guiterrez. If he couldn't personally make it, he would recommend someone who could. 
After leaving AFR, I started booking singers and bands through my own company Premiere Promotions. Shamblin Stone continued to participate in those events. 
Shamblin Stone was a singer, songwriter, worship leader and author. He has written several books that can be found on Amazon. 
He was also a husband, father and mentor.
My husband and I have enjoyed many long conversations with Shamblin Stone and his wife, Chris Stone over a meal or in their home.
I cherish their friendship over the years and Shamblin Stone will be greatly missed.

I am thankful that Shamblin let me join the Full Gospel Bible Institute choir because he believed he could teach anyone to sing. He continued to inspire me to sing my praise and worship to the Lord over the years since then. His love and enthusiasm were contagious, while his skill and unique style impacted many. I am sorry, Chris and the Stone family, for your loss, and I grieve with you. May the Lord comfort you and fill you with hope as we look forward to the greatest worship gathering ever around the throne of God.

Sandra and I share our love and condolences to Chris, family members and friends. 
Our memories of how Shamblin cared for others and his love for God will always linger in our hearts to the glory of Jesus our redeemer.
Because eternity is before us all it will not be long till we see our Lord and Shamblin face to face.
Thank you Shamblin for the songs you wrote and for being a part of our lives.
Pastors Tim and Sandra Osiowy

I remember Ralph from my days attending Brooking Heights Baptist Church in Raytown, Mo. His family were such good stewards for the church.
Sympathy and prayers for his family.

December 11 my Dad came and saw me sing with Wichita Chamber Choral. That was and will be the last concert he will see me sing. I was making sure I sang this year for my Mentors who are retiring and moving away but I'm so happy I did for him. My Dad was so happy just watching and listening to the music. My love of music came from him. He is the best Dad. I love him so much. 

Shalom! Shamblin and I were station in Da Nag Vietnam. I remember when we first met on base. We were in the back of a pickup truck and he was singing don't want a pickle just want to ride my motorcycle. Later he wrote a song called Keep Looking Up and and the lights went out in the chapel on his last note. We had a great out reach for Yeshua on base. I was with Shamblin and Chris when he did his outreach for Christ at the Witchta county fair. He is a righteous man of G-d and in heaven leading worship. We look forward to meeting him in the air. Blessing and perfect Shalom to Chris and family. Bill English

Praying for you all during this time.  We will miss him here but oh what a time he must be having right about now.  

Shalom Chris and family

I grieve with you and I rejoice with you knowing that one day soon we will see Shamblin again.  We know he is leading worship in heaven now.  

Shamblin and I were station in DaNag Vietnam.

Perfect Shalom

Chris, again so sorry for your family's loss. As you know I was Shamblin's assistant for a period of time. His vision was so great and it was wonderful that he got to see so many of them come to fruition.
We pray God's richest blessings, comfort and grace be with you, Jeremy, Hannah, Micah and Sarah. ❤

Shamblin was my roommate in the Air Force at McConnell AFB.  He was instrumental in drawing me close to the Lord.  His testimony made me recognize that though I had attended church all of my life and had a head-knowledge of Christian doctrine, I was not a Christian.  His leadership, fellowship and actions have been a floor, laid on the foundation of Jesus,  that has supported me for 50 years.  Good-bye dear friend.  I will see you again very soon.
