Mass will be held at Prince of Peace Catholic Church beginning at 11:00am on Saturday, the 25th of January, 2014. A celebration of his life will begin at 1:00pm following the mass. In lieu of flowers, the Shackelford Family would like to request that donations be made to the "Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation" in his honor. www.pulminaryfibrosisfoundation.com

John and I extend our sympathy to Teri as she goes through this time of grieving. I will miss Ron and his great sense of humor. He was a great help with the Alumni Association planning the 50th reunion and we became great facebook pals. He was truly a good person. Sincerely John and Susan Cowsert

Teri, Randy and Rowdy,
My heart aches for the pain you all are going through. Ron was not only a big man in stature but he had a heart 10 times bigger than he was. He was a wonderful friend to so many and loved by them all. He was always there with a smile, a joke (most of the time a dirty one), a comforting word and good advice. His passing has left a hole in the hearts of many people. Please know I am there for all of you anytime you might need me and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

I considered Ron my second father. He was a great man that helped me throughout my life. I was his neighbor for many years and he always tried to guide me to the right path. He loved music and so did I. He was kind,strong, focused, and funny. These are the characteristics of history's greatest men. He was one of them.

Teri, Rowdy and Randy, I heard from Billie Neeley that Ron had passed and I was very sad to hear it. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend back in the old days. My deepest sympathy go to you all. Even though it has been such a long, long time I have very fond memories of all of you, and wonderful times spent with you when I was your neighbor.
