Sanford Ray Shelton

Sanford “Sandy” Ray Shelton was born on 12/05/1957 in Dallas, Texas to parents Edward Shelton and Annie (Zube) Shelton and entered into eternal rest on August 16, 2021 at the age of 63. Sandy, as he was known to his friends and family, enjoyed fishing, mowing the lawn with his new zero turn, and spending time with his family. Sandy loved playing corn hole, eating a whole lot of sweets (behind Evon’s back), loved his grandchildren and life in general. His greatest joy came from helping people. Always smiling and joking around, he would never say “no” to anyone in need. He was an enthusiastic member of Clearview Bible Church. He loved his Sunday school class, Brother Hugh and Pastor David Bodecker.
