He was born July 10, 1963, the son of Darrell and Sharon (Pion) Shattuck, in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

He had been employed at Anchor Lamina for 15 years. He also served in the Navy on the USS Whale in the Groton New London Base in Connecticut.

Ervin is survived by his wife Patricia (Markus); children Darrel (Catie) of Cadillac, Michigan, and Stephanie (Timothy) Petrovich of Livonia; grandchildren Kara, Kaylee, Jacquelynn, and Issabella; mother, Sharon; 3 aunts; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

  2. Jody and I are very sorry for your loss. We are sending our condolences and prayers for you and your family. Wally was a great guy, a lot of fun to ride with, and a good friend. He will be missed by many.

  3. I met this fine man through my older brother, Dave, AKA Papa Smurf. Wally was a very genuine, caring and matter of fact man. This coming from someone who met him about three times, but I had immediate respect and admiration for him and that’s hard to get from me. I know his passing will affect many, as he was one of the good ones. God Bless him, his family and friends. One Vet to Another, I SALUTE You Sir!

  4. Loved Wally. He was a huge influence on my life. It was he and Darryl that taught me how to shoot compound bow. “Alamo Archers’. We shared a lot of memories. Our families were Family. No other words can describe it. I will miss my friend. He was a huge man. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.
