We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Lester Steven “Steve” Shell, who peacefully departed from this world on September 22, 2024, at his home in Lubbock, Texas surrounded by his family. Steve was 57.
Steve comes from a military family and was born on March 22, 1967, while his father was serving in Italy. His family moved back to the United States in 1972 and he graduated from Adams County Christian School.

Following discharge from military service, Steve attended college at Great Plains Technical School, graduating with honors.
