JR was born October 13, 1990, in Escanaba, the son of Henry Shinnaberry Sr. and Joyce Martin. JR was raised in the Gladstone and Iron Mountain areas. JR worked as a bricklayer with Local Union 2 for 6 years and he loved his job. He was a very hard worker.
On May 27, 2017, JR was united in marriage to the former Jessica Casey. Together they shared so many wonderful memories. JR also loved hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. He was also an avid Packer fan, Go Pack Go! The most important thing to JR was his kids and his family. They were the light of his life, and he loved spending time with them. He will be truly missed by so many.
