John Shipley Welsh, enjoyed hunting, fishing

John Shipley Welsh of Millsboro passed away Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023, at home. He was born Dec. 2, 1974, in Lewes, to Bonnie Jean (Briggs) Welsh and the late John (Jack) Raymond Welsh.

He graduated from Sussex Central High School in 1992. John has worked as a plumber for Harry Caswell Inc. for the last 19 years. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping, and could make or create whatever he put his mind to. He loved spending time with his children.

John’s battle with stage 5 melanoma was fought bravely with the love and support of his whole family.

He was preceded in death by his father, John Raymond Welsh; and his daughter, Rebecca Christine Welsh. He is survived by his mother, Bonnie Jean (Briggs) Welsh; his spouse, Christine Jane (McCaffrey) Welsh; and his two children, John Gideon Welsh and David Edward Welsh.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date with family and friends who will come together and celebrate John. 

Thank you to friends and family for all the love and support shown to us over the years.
