Our lives were forever changed on the 26th of October when Steve Duane Shelley was tragically taken from us.
Steve was born on January 8, 1947 in Williston, North Dakota to Russell and Betty Shelley. He was raised as a cowboy from an early age. Steve attended school in Watford City, ND graduating in 1965. Steve attended college in Georgia and Indiana before joining the Army Reserve.
Steve has always had a passion for ranching so for him to step in and take over the family business was an easy transition for him. Steve was also employed by Power Fields oil truck business as a manager. While working the family ranch, Steve would also drive truck over the road. While driving through Miles City, Steve stopped at a local diner and that’s where he would meet the love of his life, Beverly Burns, and they would go on to spend 35 wonderful years together. During their marriage they lived in Watford City, Sidney, Custer, S Carolina, where Steve helped his uncle Gordon build houses. They moved back to Montana and Steve owned and operated his own seed cleaning business. To this marriage they had two children. They lived in Ashland for seven years and later moved to South Dakota where they lived for 3 years. After moving from South Dakota they made their home in Lame Deer for seven years. In 2007, Steve accepted a position to manage a ranch in Rosebud, MT for seven years. Steve and Beverly decided to move back home to Lame Deer and that’s where they made their home for the last four years.
On October 23, Steve newest grand daughter was born in Dublin, Ireland. Steve dedicated his life to his wife, children and grandchildren. He could often be seen giving rides to his grandchildren on his 4wheeler and ponies. He had a love for animals, gardening and his doves. At the time of his death Steve, was doing what he loved, working his cattle.
