John E Shedlock Jr - Free Bird

To many my father was cherished. For many who met him, it didn’t take long for him to express his free will. A man who would happily starve himself if it meant giving to his children. Papa was a rolling stone, a traveler, a story teller, a man of many trades, but most of all, a man of God whose true happiness was expressed through his love of Christ and his family. He was true to his nature and did not ever hesitate to express how he was feeling, a man of true integrity. If anyone doubted his capabilities, he would be fueled with drive to prove many wrong. He's accomplished many goals in life and has rubbed elbows with many walks of life, from working close with mayors, judges, and lawyers, to directly driving the lost out of conflict. Through his ministry work and sober living guidance I’ve witnessed him help those with no home and most vulnerable. He was a man who was given many adversities and challenges in life and because of, was blessed with the gift of wisdom and riotousness. Please help in seeing his final wish through, let’s send him home to rest with his mom. Service dates are 7/26 at 6091 Mission Blvd Riverside Ca between 11-1pm and Saturday 8/1/25 at Greco-Hertnick Funeral Homes in Weirton WV. Final resting place to be at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens in Weirton, WV
