Jonah Shelby had a way with animals, especially dogs. They really took to him. He enjoyed his music and watching sporting events. He lived alone and had a home that required a lot of time and effort to maintain; a big lawn, lots of trees and lots of leaves. He did his best to stay on top of it all. He also enjoyed outdoor activities, especially in the fall. He was a good cook and was a connoisseur of hot chili peppers. Did we mention his passion for art, which was expressed through his many tattoos. He loved his family as they loved him.
