American, Co-Trustee of the Carroll Hall Shelby Trust and Board member
of the Carroll Shelby Foundation. “Our salute to these vehicles will

With the recent loss of Carroll Shelby’s nine-year-old great grandson,
Lloyd Randall Shelby, the Foundation will make a special presentation in
his honor at the event. Lloyd was a huge fan of both his great
grandfather and the Shelby cars he created.

“We were deeply saddened by the loss of Carroll’s great grandson Lloyd
Shelby,” said Jenni Shreeves, Executive Director, Carroll Shelby
Foundation. “It was truly a tragedy. As a double organ transplant
recipient, Carroll founded the charity to help children who needed a
transplant. Lloyd’s parents donated their son’s organs in an effort to
help others. I know that Carroll would have appreciated their decision.
The Shelby family has also chosen to celebrate the lives of both Lloyd
and Carroll by helping the Foundation support young people in the race
for life.”
