Adrian (Aj) Shelton

Adrian departed this life surrounded by his loving and devoted family.

His childhood was spent in White Bluff with his loving grandparents, William and Ada McCutchen, “Mama and Papa” and, also West Nashville where he met some of his lifelong friends.

He met and married Regina in 1974 and were married for over 45 wonderful years. They settled in Fairview, built their happy house in the woods where they raised their girls Amber and Ashley whom they loved fiercely. Also, welcoming their sons-in-law Lee and Derek and 5 grandchildren, Encara, Kias, Leahness, Ashton and Palmer who were equally as loved.

Adrian retired from UPS after 30 years and totaled over 3 million miles!

He was a jack of all trades: Carpentry, gem hunting, scuba diving, fishing, riding horses, and going to the gym. He took many trips to the beach and toured these beautiful United States on his Harley. But home is where he loved most of all.

After losing his wife he was blessed to meet and marry Alice. They enjoyed a happy 2 ½ years together.

He was best known for loving to laugh and joke with everyone he knew and didn’t know for the matter. He never met a stranger and was as good a listener as he was a talker. He was also very tender hearted. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and was a baptized believer.

Adrian, Uncle Adrian, and AJ were all names he was known by, but “Papa” was his favorite.

He leaves many cherished memories with those who loved him and will be deeply missed.

There will be a visitation Saturday January 21, 2023 from 11:00 am until the Celebration of Life 2:00 pm all held at Harpeth Hills Funeral Home 9090 Highway 100 Nashville, TN 37221.
