Shelton was born on April 15, 1938 in Bivins, Texas to Howard Joseph and Inice Eileene Shelton Wiggins and passed away on Friday, August 25, 2023.

He was a resident of Shreveport. He attended Tyler Junior College for two years before marrying the love of his life, Sandra Wiggins, on July 29, 1967. He worked for TG&Y and Saia Motor Freight as a long-haul driver. Upon retirement, he had driven over 3 million miles. He loved to fish, hunt, and read the Bible. His passion was building and remodeling houses. He spent most of his retirement being a handyman for whoever needed help. He was a caring person and loved giving his time and finances to those less fortunate. He brought a smile when he entered a room and made sure you knew about Jesus and his love for you.

Shelton is preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Eileene Wiggins; sister, Gloria Nichols; brother, HJ Wiggins; and daughter-in-law, Patricia Wiggins. Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Sandra Wiggins; son, Howard Blake Wiggins; daughter, Laura Paige Gloor and husband, Jeff Gloor; grandchildren, Rebecca Frazier and husband, Louis Frazier, Emily Wiggins, Anna Wiggins, Grace Wiggins, Sydney Kennedy and husband, Riley Kennedy, Carter Gloor; and great-grandchild, Millicent Kennedy.
