Date Line: Windsor, NC

Shelton Andrew Leggett, Sr. went home to be with the Lord on February 26, 2020.  He was born in Windsor, NC on February 14, 1942 to the late Andrew Jackson "AJ" and Audrey Byrd Leggett.

After graduation from Windsor High School he worked in the Brass Gallery of the Newport News Shipyard helping to build the "Enterprise" Ship until drafted into the US Army where he served as SP4 in 507 Transportation in Vietnam in 1964. When he came home from war he decided he would never leave Windsor again or work inside.  He just wanted to enjoy God's beautiful creation and open space.

He was a devoted husband to his wife, Joan Copeland Leggett for 52 years and a devoted father to his son Shelton Andrew "Drew" Leggett, Jr. and loved his wife Jennifer as a daughter.  Through this marriage God blessed him with two beautiful grandchildren, Jackson Andrew and Whitley Blaire.

Shelton was a member of Cashie Baptist Church, served as Deacon and held several positions over the years serving his Lord.

Other surviving family members are a sister Carol Burks and husband Paul; a nephew Chris Burks and a niece Susan Creech.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Cashie Baptist Church on Sunday, March 1, 2020 at 2:00 PM and visitation will be at Walker Funeral Home February 29, 2020 from 6-7:30 PM.

God, family and friends completely filled his life with many blessings.
