Richard Warren Shelton

My condolences to Rick´s family. I have fond memories of playing basketball with Rick at the Tuscaloosa YMCA and intramural basketball at UA. I knew Rick was special from a very young age. Those of us that played with him admired his attitude, courage, and athleticism. He was smart, talented, and always nice to everyone. He inspired us all. The credit goes to his parents and his faith in God. I hope you all may find peace during this difficult time. Jeff Flanagan

Very fond memories of Rick´s stays in Scotland when we were young. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolences from Pacers members in Beatrice. Remember the good times with your loved one.

A life well lived. May God give you comfort in your time of grief.

I was so sorry to read about Rick's passing. Cathy and the boys might not remember me, but I have good memories of babysitting. Sometimes just the two Shelton boys and sometimes with the two Samson girls. The four together were a lot of fun. I lived in the Presbyterian house owned by the church, so I benefitted a lot from the Shelton family's kindness. I am also the proud owner of an autographed copy of Hoggle's Christmas. Rick was a good man and he will be missed. Deepest sympathies...

This wonderful obituary was a tribute to a fine man, whose loss no doubt has been felt deeply by family and friends. I knew Rick and Cathy in their early married days through the campus Presbyterian Church they attended in Tuscaloosa where Rick's father, Jack, was pastor. I worked on a number of projects that I have valued through my life with Jack Shelton. I am so very sorry for this family's and the larger community's great loss with Rick's passing.

Absolutely brilliant tribute for a man admired by many and loved by all! They say a smile is worth a thousand words, but his smile was not only that, but greater than all his accomplishments in his life! I am honored and privileged to have know such a wonderful person! Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the thoughts I have for you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a hope and a future"! This is my favorite verse from the Old Testament! Thank you for sharing and I will...

This obituary is such a beautiful tribute to your father. What an extraordinary person. I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to meet him and Cathy. My heart goes out to your family on this tremendous loss. Your memories are your treasure.
