Edward Harold Shelton, 81, left his beloved farm for the last time on October 7, 2024.So we say farewell to our storyteller.

Eddie graduated from Stafford High School in 1961. Following his graduation from Lynchburg College, he taught school for a year and then began training as a farrier in the Army at Fort Myer. In 1968, he started his own horseshoeing service which he continued for over 50 years.

Eddie loved farming, raising cattle and managing mules and horses. An avid outdoorsman, hunting, fishing and later foxhunting were his passions.

He leaves behind his wife of 52 years, Becky; sisters, Terry Peyton and Catherine Wheeler; nieces, Kim Stephens (Scott), Angie Prather (Mike) and Lauren Parker (Burr Sutter) and nephew, Chris Peyton; as well as extended family and many dear friends; and especially his beloved GSD, Chikki.

Storke Funeral Home in Bowling Green will offer visitation on Friday, October 18 at 10 a.m. with a graveside service at Lakewood Cemetery to follow at 11:30 a.m.  In lieu of flowers, the family suggests remembering Eddie through support of the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association.
