Kenneth Wayne Shalap

Kenneth Wayne Shalap, 71, of Dyersburg, TN, formally of Mount Lookout, WV went home to be with our Lord and Savior on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 after a short illness. Born on Dec. 22, 1942, in Elkins, WV, he was the son of the late John and Alwilda Shalap of Summersville, WV. His cherished memories are left to his companion of many years, Carolyn Sue Shaffer of Dyersburg, TN, formally of Mount Lookout, WV and her daughter Dawn Marie Darnell of Dyersburg, TN, brother Walter E. Shalap and wife, Gwen, of Sissonville, WV and their children Christina Hope, Dee Shalap and Bonnie Brost, along with a host of extended family and friends. Kenneth was honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force and was a member of the Summersville Lodge No. 76 AF-AM. He is best remembered for his decades-owned auto repair business, Shalap's Antiques on RT 19 in Summersville where his passion was the restoration and preservation of antique, vintage muscle cars and street rods. He won many awards over several states for his show cars and his favorite custom 31 Chevy street rod. He never met a stranger, or they weren't one for long. He will be dearly missed.
