Shelby never knew a stranger; he was always the life of the party. He definitely lived life to the fullest, but he also had that soft, sentimental side. Family and friends were very important to him.

Duay III; step grand-daughter, Brittney Pourciau; great-grandchildren, Brantley Duay, Isabella Duay, Dalton Duay Jr, and Charlie Rae Duay; two brothers, Whybra "Doc" J. Duay Jr. (Carolyn) and Kenny Duay; and many nieces & nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, "Fritz" and Teresa Duay; sister-in-law, Sue Duay; and the mother of his sons, Sylvia Timmons Duay Dennison.
