January 8, 1971 - June 28, 2023
Shawn DeAndre Ellingburg was born January 8, 1971 in Russellville, Arkansas to the late David Ellingburg and Costella Cross. He passed away June 28, 2023 in Marshfield, Missouri.
He spent his early childhood years in Russellville, Arkansas and later moved to Paris, Arkansas where he graduated from Paris High School in 1989.
Shawn was preceded in death by his parents, David and Costella in 2009. Left to cherish his loving memory are his step mother, Mary Ellingburg of Paris, Arkansas; his six daughters, Shauna Nalls and husband, DeAndre of Alexander, Arkansas, Desarea Ellingburg of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Gabrille Dews and husband, Elijah of New London, Texas, Emouney Ellingburg of Texarkana, Arkansas, Vanisha Ellingburg of Jonesboro, Arkansas and Aundrella Ellingburg of Garland, Texas; his three sisters, Vanessa Simpson of Garland, Texas, Wendy Shaw and husband, Cory of Garland, Texas and Amanda Ellingburg and husband, Tyler of North Little Rock, Arkansas; one brother, Wendell Robinson and wife, Shalonda of Arlington, Texas; 8 grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins who will all greatly miss him.
During this difficult time, we remember Shawn's life and the impact he made on those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in our hearts forever.
Shawn Ellingburg was a kind-hearted and compassionate individual with a heart of gold. His infectious sense of humor and radiant smile left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was a jack of all trades, always following through on his commitments. Shawn loved his children, family and friends, making an effort to check on them and never forgetting a birthday. He found joy in cooking, fishing and being outdoors and even embraced his self-proclaimed role as a doctor. He also loved watching the Washington Redskins, especially when they played against the Dallas Cowboys. While he wasn't perfect, he had strong faith and love for the Lord. Shawn's legacy will be remembered for his kindness, laughter and unwavering love. His memory will inspire us to live with open hearts and embrace the power of genuine care and compassion.
Funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 8, 2023 at Roller Funeral Home Chapel in Paris officiated by Pastor Leon Bobo and Elder Larry Moore.
