Jeffrey Lynn "Jeff" Shelton

August 22, 1968 — July 15, 2024

Jeffrey Lynn Shelton died July 15, 2024, after fighting heroically a 10-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He died at home, having successfully made it to son Zachary’s wedding two days before on July 13, 2024, and daughter Tatum’s 21st birthday on July 14, 2024. He was 55.


Jeffrey was born on August 22, 1968, in Odessa, Texas to Willard Jennings Shelton and Nadeen L. Shelton. He leaves behind a loving family. He is survived by wife Tami Shelton of Seminole, Oklahoma, loving daughter Tatum Shelton of Stillwater, OK and loving son Zachary Shelton and his wife Autumn Shelton of Oklahoma City. He is also survived by sister Jenny Boissenin and husband, David Boissenin of Tulsa, OK, niece Taylor Bates and her husband Corey Bates of Tulsa, OK and niece Kelsey Migliore and her husband Daniel Migliore of Jenks, OK. He was predeceased by his parents, and a daughter Allie Nicole Shelton.


Forever an avid Oklahoma State University sports fan, he played collegiate baseball and attended Oklahoma State University for his undergraduate studies. He left his heart in Stillwater before attending the University of Oklahoma College of Law. Although he remained loyal and true to OSU, he did meet the love of his life Tami Shelton while attending the University of Oklahoma College of Law and was therefore thankful for his years as a Sooner. While earning his Juris Doctor at OU Law, though his academic achievements, he was selected to participate as a Carl Albert Executive Fellow. After law school, he and Tami married, and he worked as an Attorney for the Department of Tourism where he received a Governor’s accommodation for his legal work. Once his children were born, he devoted his life to them, choosing to work closer to home so he could be “present” in their lives. He coached many successful tournament baseball and football league teams when Zachary was young and loved to watch Tatum perform as a competitive dancer. He was also very busy working as the Town attorney for the towns of Cromwell and Sasakwa and as a Professor at Seminole State College. In addition, he coached high school football and was the Vice Commissioner for American Legion Baseball. He wore many hats and wore them well. He touched the lives of many students and young athletes in a positive way. He believed in setting goals and working hard to achieve them and instilled those values in his students, athletes and his own children. He will be greatly missed by many.
