On September 25, 1947, the late James and Mary Jane Jordan Shelton welcomed a baby boy named Arthur Ray, whom his father and others in the community affectionately called Top. At an early age, Mr. Shelton was baptized at St. Paul Read Obituary
I am heartbroken to hear that Mr. Shelton has passed. At the same time, I am uplifted knowing that he is standing before the Lord, our God, who I watched Mr. Shelton praise with all his love and heart on Sunday mornings. Mr. Shelton always greeted me with a laugh and a smile. I know I have a new angel in my corner because Mr. Shelton only offered me love, smiles and support throughout the 30 years I have known him. Mrs. Shelton, I will have a huge hug for you when I am back in town. Right now, I send you all my love and prayers. Melinda Wilson Ramey & Family (Sacramento, CA)
To God be the Glory for sharing Arthur Ray! He will always be remembered fondly. I am so grateful to him for the willingness to share his time and resources with so many others. May friends and family find peace in the love shown prior to his transition.
Mr. Arthur, I'm in such disbelief of your passing but I know your faith and how you lived your life and I'm grateful to have known you. Our many lengthy conversations were the highlight of my evening when I came to work. Coming to work in the evening, peeking around the corner until you saw me, and hear you say, "Ms. Union Rep!" That was definitely my highlight of thr evening. You are deeply missed.
My dear brother in Christ my heart has been heavy since I heard. You are now resting in paradise. My condolences to the family. May the Holy Spirit comfort you all in this time of grief. I loved Mr. Arthur
