Wallace

Shelby Royce Wallace, 89, a man of quiet grace, kindness, and unwavering dedication passed peacefully on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 .

Shelby's true gift was his heart. He was the kindest and most gentle man, always offering warmth and understanding to everyone he met. His presence had a way of making the world feel lighter, and his smile—radiant and full of warmth—could brighten even the darkest days.

For 28 years, he worked at URHCS, where his commitment and work ethic left a lasting impact on those around him.

Shelby took immense pride in keeping his truck spotless, a testament to his meticulous nature and unwavering dedication to the things he cared about. Whether it was a Sunday afternoonspent polishing the chrome or ensuring the tires were always gleaming, his truck was more than just a vehicle—it was a reflection of his attention to detail and love of craftsmanship.

Though he has left this world, his legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the love he shared, and the memories carried by those who knew him. His kindness, dedication, and that unforgettable smile will forever be cherished.

Shelby is preceded in death by his parents, Alvin and Gracie Wallace and daughter Paula Cargal. He is survived by his beloved wife, Mickie; his children, Robert and Kelly Ramatowski, Lisa and Steve Christmas, and Alana Rose; his cherished grandchildren, Stephan and Catherine Christmas, Spencer Christmas, Devon and Lily Prefontaine, Darian Skye and Savanna Schroeder, Dylan and Kayci Prefontaine, and Tayton Rose; and his precious great-grandchildren, Jackson, Luke, and Jude Christmas, as well as Bentley Prefontaine. He also leaves behind his dear cousin, Evelyn Henexson, and his niece, Missy Green. The love he shared and the legacy he built will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

A  Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in League City, Texas.
