Craig A. Shelton

Craig A. Shelton, 62, of Concord, NH, passed away Thursday, July 4, 2024, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Craig was born in Concord on July 17, 1961, to George Edward Shelton and Lucille (Paquette) Shelton. He was employed as a Hydraulic Technician with Page Belting Co. for more than 37 years.

Craig was an avid sports fan and dedicated golfer most of his life. His first hole-in-one was at the age of 13 while competing in a school boy tournament between Merrimack Valley and Bishop Brady. Described by his loved ones as trustworthy, caring, kind, and thoughtful, Craig was the eternal peacemaker and possessed a strong moral compass. He was generous with his time and was always ready to assist anyone in need.

Craig is survived by his mother Lucille Shelton of Concord; his brothers Gary Shelton of MN and George Brian Shelton of Concord; and several cousins, other extended family, and dear friends. He was predeceased by his father, George Edward Shelton, in 2015.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated later this summer on Saturday, August 17th at 10:00am at Christ the King Parish, 72 South Main Street in Concord, followed by a reception at Beaver Meadow Golf Course.
