Mr. Shilling was born on Dec. 30, 1930, in Creede. His parents were Melvin Lee and Verna Ward Shilling. Melvin Shilling was also a hard-rock miner.

Mr. Shilling graduated from Silverton High School in 1950, and went to work in the Idarado Mine. After his father, a shift boss, was killed in a mining accident, Mr. Schilling enlisted in the U.S. Navy to serve during the Korean War. His job was working as an airplane mechanic on aircraft carriers.

Upon his return, he became a member of the Silverton American Legion.

He returned to his original career, working in area mines like the Idarado, Mayflower, Camp Bird, Gary-Owen and American Tunnel. Over the years, he demonstrated his mining skills and physical prowess at the Hardrocker Holiday Celebration in Silverton, where he won numerous awards and plaques. He won his last award in 1993, at the age of 62, placing third in the mucking machine competition. In 2003, his name was added to the San Juan Miners Memorial in Ouray.

He enjoyed the outdoors and excelled as a hunter and fisherman. As a young man, he helped in the construction of Lemon Dam northeast of Durango on the Florida River.

Mr. Shilling married Anna Marie Burkett on July 18, 1975, in Elko, Nev.

Six years ago, the couple returned to her family home, which is located just a mile below Lemon Dam. Together they operated Helen's Store, a longtime country mercantile establishment, which was opened by her mother in 1936 and became an area landmark.

Mr. Shilling was an avid reader and subscribed to six different newspapers. That was partly to read the sports page and work the puzzles, but also to stay informed about the people and places that were an important part of his life.

He had a loyal circle of family and friends. His pet burro "Ole" will miss the carrot sticks that Mr. Shilling brought for their daily morning visit.

Mr. Shilling was preceded in death by his stepson Stephen Davidovich.

He is survived by his wife Anna Marie Burkett Shilling; stepdaughter Yelenia McMurlyn of McCook, S.D.; stepsons George Davidovich of Paonia, Frank Davidovich of Grand Junction and William Davidovich of Evans; sisters Joyce Smart of Fresno, Calif., Jane Goff of Cortez and Ellen Hefner of Grand Junction; brothers A.J. Shilling of Fort Collins and Melvin Shilling of Denver; nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held from noon to 8 p.m. Monday, at Hood Mortuary. The funeral will take place at 10 a.m. Tuesday, at Hood Mortuary Chapel. The Rev. Myron T. Darmour will officiate. Burial will follow at Pine River Cemetery in Bayfield.
