PETER EARL SHELTON

February 28, 2024

Peter Earl Shelton of Kincardine, died Feb. 28, 2024, at the age of 62. He is sadly missed by his loving wife of 45 years, Darlene Shelton (Farrish); his daughters, Jolene (Chris Knoop) and Jilliene Shelton; as well as his granddaughters, Jayden Shelton (Payton Dunlop), and Mylee, Kolby and Dylan Knoop. Not to be forgotten, by his favourite fur-baby, Lilly. Peter will be remembered by his siblings, Anna Mae (John Tucker) and Rodger Shelton, as well as his many brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Earl and Jessie Shelton (McCullough). Peter was born Aug. 19, 1961, at the Kincardine hospital. He was raised on his family farm located on the 5th Concession where he also started and raised his own family. He continued on the family tradition of farming but also worked at Bruce Power as a nuclear operator for more than 30 years. He and Darlene remained on the farm until 2007 when they moved to the Town of Kincardine. Peter was lucky enough to spend his last 12 years enjoying retirement with his wife at their winter home, located in Zephyrhills, Florida - their “Happy Place.” He will be remembered for his daily walks with Lilly, both in Kincardine and Florida, where he met many neighbours along the way. He also had a love for golf, country music, driving his grandkids wherever they needed to be, and wearing shorts and sandals even when there was snow. A private celebration of life will be held at a later time.
