My name is Megan Imari Floyd-Robinson. My mother is Shirley Johnson-Floyd. Shelby John Pinson is my grandfather. ❤️❤️❤️

Sleep well cousin, thank you for all your kind words. 

It doesn't seem real that such a remarkable man is no longer with us. Life will certainly not be the same without you Dad. You were respected by all and you touched the lives of so many. The love we have for you has no end.  We are left with endless memories that will live on in our hearts. You are greatly loved and missed.  Love always your son Michael and family

Hello Family,

I was sad to hear of Shelby's passing. He was a very special person and we all thought the world of him. He was always willing to help others and ask for nothing in return. Im sure that he would want all of us to celebrate the good life he had. We can all be thankful that we had him in our lives and can continue to remember as the special person that he was. 

And cousin/brother Shelby, i love you and you will be greatly missed, my first pair of skates I so desired and the sharing of the Bible scriptures. And when I didn't want to fly on an airplane, you said " with all the faith I have how can I say I can't fly" (or do anything). 

And my family i will always remember you in my thoughts and prayers. Love and Sweet memories.

     Rev Laverne Lincoln. Your cousin/sister


TO THE FAMILY
God said, "one day a great man was to be born," and on November 30, 1934 that man was SHELBY PINSON.
He was soft spoken, kind, and giving. Living in a house with many siblings, I must have been 14 before I realized SHELBY was my cousin and not my brother. Being the oldest, he set a good example for the rest of us. (My brothers and cousins followed his foot steps and served in the armed services).

TO SHELBY
Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am but the pain in my heart does. As you take your rightful place in heaven at the PINSON table, you'll be among family who loves you. That table will be full one day and we'll all be together again. Until then, I'm gonna miss you dearly big brother. REST IN PEACE. REST EASY.

May we who survive him be more strongly cemented in the ties of union and friendship that during the short space allotted us here we may wisely and usefully employ our time and in the reciprocal intercourse of kind and friendly acts mutually promote the welfare and happiness of each other 

Dad it's not quite the same without you.
So glad that you were able to be there for our wedding.

Missing you Mr. Pinson. when I was introduced to the family, both  you and 
Mercedes made me feel so welcome. Thank you.

Thinking about all the times we spent together.

My father was a very complexed man. The public knew very little about him. Most of those impressions, I would imagine , were fueled by half truth -not really giving justice to him. He could be hard at times and at times equally tender. He could be angry at times and at times very happy. He could be stoic at times and at times very forth coming with his feeling. Simple put, he was a man who lived a complete life. A life filled with both ups and downs. However, notwithstanding where life took him he was there for all of us.  Hard or tender, angry or happy, stoic or forth coming, he was always there. He was my father, and I will always love him. So if, at times, you should find yourself in a contemplative mood, and your thoughts should stumble upon my father. Give him justice by recognizing the complete man that he was. Dad I love you deeply and so very completely.
      
                                                    Your son, David
