Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Shelby McBrayer.. I worked with Shelby for 16 years and saw everyday how hard he worked and what he accomplished at the end of each day. He set a good example of duty and devotion not only at work but also serving our country's military and his family. Shelby was also instrumental in helping to start the Modern Employees Federal Credit Union which has helped no telling how many over the years and continues today.

Isaiah 40:31 King James Version (KJV)
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Shelby was a fine man and a good friend, generous and caring. We will miss him. Rest easy in the arms of the Lord.

So sorry for your loss. We were blessed to be their neighbors from 1984-1987 and they were so kind to us.
Shelby and Janetta even made friends with my parents and visited them in Florida. We all have wonderful memories of our times with them. He will truly be missed.
Fondly, Ward and Sandy Allen

We were so sorry to hear about Uncle Shelby's passing. What a loving, family man and a great inspiration to those in his church and community. I know the "cousins have many fond memories of his beautiful farm and the Christmas Eve gatherings that took place there. Uncle Shelby's legacy will live on through his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
