Lee V. Shadd went to be with Our Lord on October 15, 2024. Lee was born to Virgil and Grace Shadd on November 24, 1929 in Waldron, Arkansas.
Lee served in the United States Air Force for twenty plus years, serving in Vietnam, Europe and throughout the United States.
Lee lived his life as a caring and devout Baptist father. He lived his faith as evident in his involvement in Haw Creek Church as Deacon and church volunteer. Lee was the rock for the whole family, giving love freely. Anyone who knew Lee, knew of his love of his country, his community, and his Church! Lee lived with conviction to his values, with love for his family, charity, and hope. Nothing meant more to Lee than his family – his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He forged lasting and deep relationships with friends throughout his life, childhood and church friends.
He is survived by his children LeeAnn (Shadd) Brannon, Scott Shadd, granddaughter Sierra (Shadd) Kendall, grandson Dawson Shadd, son-in-law Donald Brannon, grand son-in-law Tyler Kendell, great grandchildren, Asher, Gavin and Caden Kendall, and two grand-dogs, Maddie and April Ann.
He is predeceased by his wife Joan Shadd; two sons – Russell and Robert Shadd; his father Virgil Shadd and mother Grace Shadd.

Lee’s visitation will be Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. at the Heritage Memorial Funeral Home chapel in Waldron, Arkansas.
