July 29, 1963 - November 24, 2025
Standifird Neal “Stan” Shelton, 62, of Enid, Oklahoma, passed away on November 24, 2025, in Enid, Oklahoma. Stan was born in Enid on July 29, 1963, to Robert Neal Shelton and Betty Leigh Formhals, spending most of his life in northwest Oklahoma and making homes in both Woodward and Enid.
Stan dedicated the majority of his life to public service through law enforcement. Over the years, he served as a park ranger, police officer, detention officer, and security guard. He took great pride in his work and in the communities he served. One of his dreams was to ride in an LAPD cruiser and write a book about his experiences as a law enforcement officer.
A man of many interests, Stan was an avid shooter and firearms enthusiast who especially enjoyed loading his own ammunition. He also had a passion for restoring vintage televisions and radios. Though known for his grouchy demeanor, he was loved by many for his humor and was often someone’s unexpected favorite person.
Stan’s greatest joys in life were his daughter and granddaughter and the deep bond he shared with them. His pride in them was immeasurable.
Stan was preceded in death by his mother, Betty; his brother, Richard Shelton; and his parents, Robert and Earlyne Shelton.
He is lovingly remembered by his daughter, April Martin, and her husband, Chad, of Woodward, Oklahoma; his granddaughter, Aspen Milledge, of Glasgow, Scotland; and his beloved dog, Oski, his constant friend, always by his side.
