I am so sorry for your loss. My memories of him include laughs, fun times with our families vacationing and hanging out. He was always so much fun. Prayers for your family.
Sincerely,

Dr. Shaddox was a dear friend and a fellow Rotarian. He had a long-standing connection with the family I work for, and until the day he stopped driving, he would make monthly visits to our office to check on our health and mental well-being. He would bring his doctor's bag, take my blood pressure, and ask thoughtful questions. It was always a pleasure to see him; he had a remarkable way of making you feel valued. I was fortunate to call him a friend and to spend quality time with him through Rotary and other activities. Once he got sick, I made it a point to check in on him because I missed our visits immensely. He undoubtedly left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him and on this community. Rest in peace, Steve. XOXO Emily Harrison
A good friend from many years ago and Hendrix college. Steve was always a beacon of positive good will. The world will miss his spontaneous fine attitude. Much love and sympathy to Jan, Ben, and Jonathan may the relish in all the good memories. Jeanne and Ladd Goesl
What a wonderful human and man of God. When I first met him as a caregiver it brought joy to my heart the way he loved his wife and the smiles he had every time she entered the room. I felt the presence of the Lord each time I was there.
Matthew 5:4 NLT
💔There are moments in life when grief grips our hearts…when we’ve lost someone we deeply love, when dreams we cherished slip away, or when pain lingers in silence. In these times, the world may feel heavy, and our tears may seem endless. But Jesus gently reminds us through this verse that mourning is not a weakness….it is a sacred moment where GOD’s presence draws near.
🌱“Blessed are those who mourn” doesn’t mean that sorrow itself is good….but that in our sorrow, we are never alone. GOD sees every tear, understands every ache, and promises real comfort….not just to dry our eyes, but to heal our hearts.
🌿So if you’re in a season of mourning, know this….Your pain is not hidden from GOD. HE is close to the brokenhearted, and HIS comfort is deeper than any human words. Let your tears fall in HIS presence. HE doesn’t rush your healing….HE walks with you through it. 🌿
🌸You may feel empty now, but GOD is filling those empty spaces with His grace. One day, your mourning will turn into peace, and your sorrow into strength. Keep holding on….HE is with you, comforting you, and blessing you through it all.
🕊️ “God doesn’t waste pain. He redeems it.”
We love you Jan, and your family.
I have had the pleasure of interacting with Steve as a referring physician, as a patient, as a fellow church member and through Bible Study Fellowship. He has always been generous with his time and his many talents. He will be greatly missed.
