In Loving Memory of Dale Bun Shelton

It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of Dale Bun Shelton—a beloved fiancé, devoted father, proud uncle, loving son & brother, a caring coach, and friend to so many.

Dale brought light and laughter wherever he went. His quick wit, compassionate nature, and deep love for his family were at the core of everything he did. He was a cat lover, an F1 racing fanatic, a passionate tennis player, and someone who found pure joy cruising in his Corvette. But above all, Dale cherished his daughter and fiancé more than anything in the world.

He was also a fantastic server in the heart of Destin, FL—known and loved by locals and visitors alike for his warm smile, great conversation, and dedication to making every guest feel like family.

This GoFundMe has been created to help ease the financial burden left behind by his sudden passing. Funds raised will go toward covering funeral expenses, supporting his daughter, and helping his fiancé and family manage housing and living costs during this incredibly difficult time.

Dale touched countless lives—whether on the sidelines as a coach, at work in the Destin community, or simply through the joy he spread every day. If you’re able to donate or share, your support means the world to us.

Thank you for helping us honor the memory of a man who gave so much to others.

With love and gratitude,

The Shelton Family
