Eddie was more than just a career man; he was a loving grandfather and a kind-hearted individual who had an enduring passion for cars and a penchant for connecting with children. His personality shone through his caring nature, and he will be remembered for the joy he brought to those around him.

Eddie is survived by his beloved family, including his wife Patricia Shelton, his sons Mark Shelton (Tammy), and his daughter Ruth Hensley (Marvin). He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren Patrick (Laurie) Dillion, Jonathan Honnerlaw and Courtney Bowling, along with many other and great-grandchildren who looked up to him with admiration and love.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Verna Shelton and Otto Shelton, whose love and guidance shaped the person he became.

A graveside service to honor Eddie's life will take place on May 15, 2025, at Brookside Cemetery in West Chester, Ohio. The service will begin at 11:00 AM, with a gathering of family and friends to celebrate the life of this remarkable man. As we come together to remember Eddie, we reflect on the impact he made in our lives and the legacy he leaves behind.
