Shelton Wayne Chipman

As a person goes through life, if he's lucky, he makes a good many friends. Of those friends, if he's even luckier, he makes a couple of best friends. I consider myself lucky to have had Shelton as a best friend. Throughout our teenage years, when friends are so important, he was always there, always fun to be around, and proved time and again what a best friend really is...someone that you could count on. My heartfelt condolences to his son Robbie, who displays so much of Shelton's good character, to his mom, sister, brother-in-law and all the remaining family members. I truly share in your grief and will miss him dearly.

Sorry to hear about Shelton, my thoughts and prayer's are with the family. I knew Shelton for many years, as I did his brother Jimmy. I meet Shelton when I was just 11 yrs old, I lived right across the street from them. My brother ( Mark Chesnutt ) and I use to go over and sat and listen to Jimmy play the guitar all the time, and we would play ball in the front yard with Shelton and Jimmy. Then through the years we kinda lost touch with each other, but we would run into each other every now and then, and Shelton would make a v-line to me and say " hey Chesnutt lets get together and pick and sing." But I always was to busy with my work and all. Now I am sad for not making time for Shelton. Now I have lost a great friend, and a careing person. Even though we didn't hang out together, and stay in touch as much as I wish we could have, Shelton was one of my closest and most dearest friends of them all, and was always thought of, and will be remembered forever. Rest In Peace Shelton.
