He leaves to cherish his memory: his parents, Cortez and Brittney Gladney Shackelford of Decatur; two sisters, Divia and Raegen Shackelford of Decatur; grandparents, Malcolm L.

He Only Takes the Best
His Smile Though his smile is gone forever, and his hand I cannot touch, I still have so many memories of the one I loved so much. His memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part, God has him in his keeping, I have him in my heart. Sadly missed but never forgotten.
God saw you getting tired, And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come with me.” With tear filled eyes, we watched as you suffered and faded away. Although we loved you deeply, we could not will you to stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to show us “He Only Takes the Best.”
