      All:

      It is with sad news I report about Shelton Durham (son of Gwendolyn Marshall Durham):

      I received a phone call from the assisted living facility where Shelton lives, Crescent Green, in Carrboro today about 4PM. I was advised that Shelton collapsed there and has died. The facility/EMTs performed CPR for 45 minutes to no avail. It appears to have been a heart attack, but not confirmed. I will be going to Carrboro in the morning to make arrangements for Shelton. He had a prepaid plan at Walker's funeral home in Chapel Hill on Franklin Street. I will e-mail you all with more details as soon as they are made. I am anticipating a grave side service for him at Cedar Grove Methodist Church, on Jones Ferry Road in Pittsboro NC later this week. Shelton was 67.

      Please feel free to call me if you have any questions. 336-406-1468

      All:

      Shelton's graveside service will be Thursday, July 24. Below is a copy of the draft obit sent to the Durham Herald Sun newspaper. The obit will run on Wednesday:




      "Shelton Reid Durham, born 1-23-1947, passed away on July 21, 2014.
      Shelton was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Reid Durham and Stella Gwendolyn Marshall Black Durham (Gwen Durham). Shelton is survived by many cousins. Shelton was born and raised in Carrboro, NC on Oak Avenue. He was an avid fan of UNC-Chapel Hill, Ford Mustangs, motorcycles and anything patriotic. He enjoyed being a member of the Mustang Club of America for many years. He loved the beach and just walking along the shore for hours. Shelton was a long time resident of Crescent Green Assisted Living in Carrboro, NC. He was a gentle soul, with the patience of Job, who will be missed by family and many friends. A special thank you to Shelton?s friend and mentor, Steve Lackey. Steve's friendship and guidance gave Shelton strength, confidence and peace of mind. A graveside service will be performed at Cedar Grove United Methodist Church, 2791 Jones Ferry Rd, Pittsboro, NC 27312, on Thursday at 4PM. The family requests no flowers, but donations may be made Cedar Grove United Methodist Church fund to save the church."
