Kevin Roger Shellhamer

I don't know if anyone will see this, but I awoke this morning and thought of Kevin whom I haven't seen since the late 1980's. I had never completed my student teaching at IUP so as an "older" student I finally did it through Messiah College and Kevin was my advisor. I loved Kevin. He was such a great teacher, musician and person. I am heartsick that I lost touch with him and that he passed away in 2015. I will have a Hardee's Cinnamon Raisin Biscuit in your honor, Kevin! My love to his...

Mr. Shellhamer was an amazing man. I had the privilege to be part of his band in middle school. He had an unbelievable passion for music. He cared about all of his students and pushed us to be our best. While I no longer play the trumpet, I still practice playing the notes as the hymns are sung in church. My deepest sympathies to the family. He was loved by so many and will live on in the great memories we all have of him.

My deepest sympathies to the family. My son started with Mr. Shellhamer at Northside Elementary School around 2000, learning the trumpet and playing in the band and Jazz band which led to the Middle School and High School and then University of Pittsburgh orchestra. Mr. Shellhamer was fantastic with the young students and their success is a testimony to his dedication. I will always remember the trips to Strawberry Square for Christmas performances and Mr. Shellhamer's kindness with all of...

He was a great teacher who not only made me a better musician, but also taught a lot of us how to be a better person. With a great a sense of humor, and a zest for life, he will be remembered for many years to come. My sympathy goes out to family and dear friends; wishing you all precious memories of a great man.

Mrs. Shellhamer and Children, please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of your Husband and Father. YVONNE HOBBS (Debbie Shreve's Mother)

Condolences to Kevin's family. I worked with him at North Side. His love of music was evident, and I will always remember the jazz bands he put together with elementary kids - always with his brass instrument in hand ready to play along. I'm sure he's playing some heavenly notes!

So very sorry to hear this sad news. Kevin always had such an uplifting aura. We will forever cherish the magical times we spent with your family at the STHS marching band competitions and football games. Bless you all. Pam and Rudy Oddo and sons.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Kevin was always pleasant and had a wonderful sense of humor. I know he enjoyed teaching music. He will be sadly missed.
