Braddock Ray Shovlain was born May 27, 2012 in Davenport, the fourth son of J. David and Renee (VanderVinne) Shovlain. His brothers want everyone to know that Braddock means to them the brother they will always have - the brother that will always make you smile. They will always remember the summers when he would sit and watch them play ball. They will remember swimming, shooting baskets and playing kickball in the back yard with him. Baby Doc loved going to his brother's basketball games. He didn't like to be alone in a room. He loved his brothers very much. He loved junk food, wearing jerseys and giggled every time someone farted. Braylon taught him how to shoot free-throws. He would sit and pretend to do homework with Cale. He loved to wrestle with Keegan and was so happy when Keegan took him to the gym. He loved to be read to before bed, hated vegetables, loved sweets and enjoyed learning words in Spanish that his daycare teachers taught him. He had a contagious belly laugh, but hated taking naps!! He was a huge mamma's boy and always wanted to sit on Mom's lap. He always found a way to cry at restaurants just so he could sit on Mom's lap. Baby Doc loved going to North High School games and would ride on the golf cart with his dad. He would not lie down to go to sleep until his three brothers tucked him in and gave him a kiss goodnight. He asked every day if Santa Claus was going to come back again. Lightning McQueen and race tracks were favorites of Baby Doc. He hated getting his picture taken but enjoyed helping with the dishes, even though he would just sit on the dishwasher door. A vacuum was always meant to be ridden and his favorite book was "No David". He loved playing with Nerf guns, but had to wear goggles in the shower because he hated getting his hair washed! He was the only Irish boy that could get a tan because he had his mom's skin. Braddock loved all his teachers at Villa Maria Day Care and he couldn't wait to attend St. Paul's and ride to school with his brothers. Those left to cherish his memory include his parents, David and Renee, and his brothers, Keegan, Braylon, and Cale all of Davenport; his grandparents Kathie (Harold "Tiny") VanderVinne, Morrison, IL, and Marcella Shovlain, Davenport; his aunts and uncles, Dennis (Debra) VanderVinne, Bettendorf, Teri (Phil) Bealer, and Darrel (Angie) VanderVinne, all of Morrison, IL; Ray (Betsy) Shovlain, Davenport, Mike (Julie) Shovlain, St. Louis, Joe (Lynne) Shovlain, Clinton, Marianne (Tom) Dowd, and Kathleen (Ken) McNeal, all of Des Moines, his Godparents Staci (Mike) Dunn, Chicago and Connor (Carrie) Bealer, Silvis, and many loving cousins and extended family.

Joan was born on November 24, 1944 to Allan Titus Williston and Mildred Rachel (Lambert) Williston in Savanna, IL. She learned to work hard from a young age, working around the house and learning many crafts from her mother; cooking, crochet, knitting, sewing, and gardening. Joanie loved attending school activities, especially football games where she would cheer on her big brother, Phil. She worked at the record store and was a carhop at the Chicken Coop. She and her future husband, Ed, would go to the community center to dance every week. Joan graduated from Savanna Township High School in 1960 with honors and a scholarship to Northern Illinois University. She attended Northern in the fall of 1962 then married her high school sweetheart Edward Arb on December 30, 1962. The couple welcomed their first son, Randy, while Ed was stationed out of Coronado, CA. While Ed was out at sea, Joan and Randy headed back to Savanna to be with her parents. She worked with her mother at Duncan's. When Ed was discharged from the Navy in 1964, the family moved to Chicago, IL. Joan would often run in to Mayor Richard Daly while taking Randy for walks. He would always stop to say hello. In 1965, the family returned to Savanna and welcomed their other three sons, Ron, Allan, and Eddie. Joan's number one passion was her family.

Wanting to be closer to home, she took a job at The Savanna Times Journal, where she loved seeing people coming in and describing their events. However, her best time while at the paper was seeing her son's accomplishments printed; Eddie's artwork, Randy, Ron, and Allan sporting events, academic successes and more. Since Joan was so skilled at helping people, she was thrilled to work with Dr. Mulay for many years while still being able to care for her parents. She was member and president of both the Philantropic Educational Organization (PEO) and the Savanna School Board for several years. She loved being in the PEO with her mother.
