Jackie Lloyd Shell, 91, of Brooklyn, Michigan, passed away on Friday, December 26, 2025, at Highland Assisted Living and Memory Care, Jackson. Jack’s family will hold a private gathering at a later date.
He was born on November 7, 1934, in Ecorse, Michigan, to Millard and Flossie (Evans) Shell. Jack married the love of his life, the late, Carole Stubbs, on September 18, 1954, in Brooklyn, Michigan. They had 71 wonderful years together before her passing earlier this year. He will be remembered for his commitment to public safety. Jack was a Brooklyn High School graduate, class of 1952 and attended Jackson Community College for business, and Hillsdale College for law enforcement/criminal justice.
