The passing of David Erlin Shelton, beloved husband and
partner of Renate Roske-Shelton of Back Bay, NB occurred at his
residence on January 24, 2023. Born at Halifax, Nova Scotia on June
16, 1953, he was a son of the late John “Dick” Robert and
Molly Irene (Green) Shelton. A loving husband, father, brother and
uncle, he is survived by his wife of the 22 years Renate of Back Bay,
NB; his son: Patrick Lee Shelton of Grand Manan, NB; brothers: John
Jr. (Jessie Laine) Shelton of Oyster Pond, NS, Thomas (Jana) Shelton
of Oak Bay, NB and Gary Shelton of Grand Manan, NB; sisters: Judy

David spent a 25 year career with the Canadian Armed Forces
mostly serving in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Master Seaman and
logistics specialist. He also spent a career in fire safety as a fire
safety inspector and fire marshal in Annapolis, Maryland as well as in
Nova Scotia in the New Glasgow and Pictou area. David was a man of
character as well as a very private person. In earlier years, he
hosted many international exchange students and did a lot of
volunteering for cultural and foreign exchange programs. He was known
as an unofficial ambassador to Canada. David was forever showcasing
Canada and was told many times he was too much of a Canadian. He was
also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #40 in St. George,
NB. David was also very proud of his service dog, Marco. Both he and
Marco spent many hours visiting nursing homes, palliative care
patients as well as students who may have been suffering from stress.
He will be sadly missed by his family and community.
