We gather to honor and reflect on the life of Shelby Ross Vance, born on October 20, 1982, in New Albany, MS, who peacefully passed away on July 6, 2026, in Boyle, MS at the age of 43. Shelby was a devoted son, brother, and friend. 

Shelby dedicated his career to retail where he became a familiar face to many customers and colleagues. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially the moments spent sitting on his front porch, feeling the warmth of the sun while listening to music that resonated with his soul. These cherished memories of him, enjoying life's beautiful moments, will remain forever in our hearts.

Shelby leaves behind a loving family who will carry his memory forward. He is survived by his father, Richard Vance; his mother, Shirley Vance; his brother, Stacy Vance, and sister-in-law, Andrea Vance; as well as his grandfather, Leslie Quitman Vance. Each of them will hold onto the laughter and love shared throughout their lives with Shelby.
