Before he passed, Jack said, “I want to thank my niece Angie and her husband Matt Johnson of San Marcos for their loving assistance, and for caring for us and for our family dog, ‘Cheech’ for all these years. And thank you to our niece Laurie Campbell. Special thanks to cousins Kathy and Jerry Clayton of Austin for their wonderful friendship.”

Jack is preceded in death by his son, “Jay” Jack C. Shelton, Jr., and his wife Margaret Coats Shelton, formerly of Austin. All were loved by many and live on in our hearts.
