Stuart - Kenneth (Ken) R. Shuttleworth died at home on July 26, 2025. He was born on November 16, 1940 in Wilmington, Delaware. He was the son of Ernest and Margaret Shuttleworth.

Following graduation from Mt. Pleasant High School in Wilmington Delaware, he served in the U.S. Air Force. After completing his service he attended the University of Memphis Law School and in 1972 became the Founder and Senior Partner of the Shuttleworth PLLC law firm in Memphis, Tennessee.
