Anthony Glen "Tony" Shelton, 55, of Fayetteville, Ark. passed away Sunday, April 30, 2017 in Morris, Ill. as a result of a traffic accident. He was born December 1, 1961 in Fayetteville, N.C. to Joseph and Joyce (Tullis) Shelton. Tony's dedication and work ethic were evident throughout his 30-year-career at Ralston Purina/Nestle Purina, where he most recently served as Vice President of Supply Chain with Nestle USA before moving into a consultant role with The Partnering Group. During his career, Tony gained many lifelong friends that had an impact on him both professionally and personally. Tony was a devoted husband, father, brother and son and always put his family first. His greatest joy was spending time with his family whether on vacation, hanging out in the backyard or joking around at the dinner table. His love of animals also meant that his pets were treasured members of the family, which was evident each time he stepped through the door and was greeted by them. He is survived by his wife, Tonia (Shelby) Shelton, his parents of Atlanta, Ga., one daughter, Ashley Shelton of Dallas, Texs, one son, Steven Shelton and wife Alex of Fayetteville, Ark., one brother, Bryan Shelton and wife Jenny of Chicago, Ill., and a host of close friends and family. A celebration of Tony's life will be held on Friday, May 5th at 1 p.m. in the Chapel of Nelson-Berna Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Humane Society of the Ozarks. To sign the online guest book please visit www.nelsonberna.com.
