Shelby Back Obituary

To the entire Back family,
I got to know Shelby while his wife Sylvia was in the Care Center in Hugo. I am totally heartbroken to hear of Shelby's passing. He was always such a joy to talk to when he would visit her. I am so blessed to have known him if even for a short time. My thoughts and prayers are with his lovely wife Sylvia, his kids, grand kids and the rest of his family. Enjoy ranching in the heavens Shelby. You will be dearly missed.

Hello Larry and the Back family, I was thinking of your father this morning and looked out the window of our office and saw his smile. I went to this web site and was able to look at the pictures of your dad and mom and had to shed some more tears. Again as you all know he will be missed by me and so many others here at the center (RMCC) because he was one of our biggest and brightest hearts and we had so much love for him. Hope you all are staying strong and loving one another and know the Back family will always be in my thoughts.

Sylvia... I do not recall you and Shelby attending any of the Colo. Spgs High School reunions and it sure would have been nice to become acquainted with you folks. For some unknown reason he was listed in the Bashful Senior section and did not have a picture in the 1950 annual. Based the entries of so many people, his classmates sure missed an opportunity to share a few stories and laughs with a great gentleman. You will be phoned in the near future... Our prayers are with the family... CSHS Class of 1950

With deepest sympathy and loving memories of a very nice man. I loved to visit with him, he always had time to stop and say hello. Our thoughts and prayers to all. Randy and Tena McElvain

He was a wonderful friend! We will really miss his wonderful sense of humor and his heart felt hugs! He always loved our children and they loved him so much also. Please God surround this family with your love!!!!❤ the Walsh's

Shelby was someone for whom we had great respect for so many reasons. He was caring, wise, and humorous. He had great love and dedication for his family. He had a love for the Lord, and a love for the life he had been given. It was always a joy to be around him. Our prayer are with his family.

Mike and I are so sorry about Shelby. I have such great memories of flying and going out to the ranch. Shelby and Sylvia's great personalities and joyful laughter made me feel like one of the family.

We are so lucky for the opportunity to know Shelby and his family. He never seemed to know a stranger and had the best smile, laugh and always a hug. Rest in peace dear Shelby

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

My prayers are with all the family. Shelby was a sweet man. Always friendly, smiling and always gave hugs. God Bless.

Aunt Sylvia,
I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Shelby. He was such a big personality with a warm laugh. I appreciate you posting the pictures. I think I recognize the cousins. My sympathies to the whole family.

It is with great sorrow that we learn that our dear Friend Shelby has passed away. He was a wonderful Christian and great friend to all that knew him as he knew no stranger. We will miss him terribly as will his family and all that knew him. May he rest in peace.

We are so very sorry to hear of Shelby's passing, he was a very special man. I can see that big smile and hear his laugh. He had a very big heart and so much love for his family and everyone that knew him. He will be greatly missed.

Love from your Rudd Family cousins.

I am very sorry for your loss. Please keep leaning on God, because he is away there to comfort you PSALMS 91:2
