James Allen Shealy lost his battle to cancer on Sunday, July 5th, 2020, surrounded by his family. Born in Leesville, SC, he was the son of the late Lorenzo and Mary Taylor Shealy. He was a member of St. Matthews Lutheran Church, and retired from Southeastern Freight Lines. He was a dedicated husband, father and Pops. He loved spoiling his 6 grandchildren and spending family time with his wife, daughters and grandchildren. He always bragged on his daughters for choosing the best son-in-laws. He would tell anyone, “They are the sons I never had.” He enjoyed watching Clemson football games with extended family and friends. He was an avid truck driver for 47 years, traveled the beautiful country, and made lots of friends over the years.
He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Wanda Whittle Shealy; daughters, Jamie Shumpert (Roger Jr.), Lisa Buzhardt (Brit), Tiffany Shealy; 6 grandchildren, Conner Shumpert, Gracyn Buzhardt, Nathen Shumpert, Bailee Buzhardt, Gavin Shealy, Kinsleigh Shealy; sister, Carol Temples (Richard); brothers, Randy Shealy (Cathy), Kevin Shealy (Sharon); mother-in-law, Carolyn Whittle; sister-in-law, Sandra Page (Jeff); brother-in-laws, Wayne Whittle (Susan), Doug Whittle (Beth); and many special nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by father-in-law, Melvin Whittle, and brother-in-law, Gary Whittle.
The family will hold a private memorial service. Friends and Family may join the family for a graveside service at 3:30pm on Wednesday, July 8th at St. Matthews Lutheran Church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Matthews Lutheran Church, 1273 Calks Ferry Road, Lexington, SC 29072.
