Wayne Shuttleworth Obituary

Wayne Shuttleworth

Avondale - Wayne Shuttleworth, 71, of Avondale went to be with the Lord on December 17, 2017 with his beloved wife, Rose Shuttleworth, at his side. Wayne was born to Jack and Jeanne Shuttleworth on December 11, 1946 in Washington, D.C. He enlisted in the Air Force on December 15, 1965, where he was proud to serve his country as a Photographic Repairman Specialist. He moved to Arizona after the Air Force. Wayne was a devoted Washington Redskin fan. He returned home in 1990 for a visit and brought back sports cards that he had collected as a child. Wayne was able to acquire every Redskin card from 1960 thru 1990. Besides being an amazing husband to Rose, he was a devoted father with unconditional love for Joseph Jarrett. Wayne also was a loving brother to his brother, Fred Shuttleworth and sister, Anne Shuttleworth. A Celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Wayne was so easy going. He always went along with what others wanted to do. I can still hear him say, "We have fun!" Yes we did. He is truly missed. I couldn't have had a better brother-in-law. Love you Wayner.

HE HAD A QUIET SENSE OF HUMOR AND A GREAT LAUGH.

Of all the times I have visited Rose and Wayne, Wayne was always such a joy to be around. No matter who wanted to do whatever or go wherever, he was always in agreement. He had such a chuckling laugh that you heard a lot when you were around him. I came to love Wayne, my brother-in-law, when I saw how happy he made my sister and nephew. Rest in peace, sweet Wayne. I will never forget you or your joyful laugh.
