I am creating this campaign for my one and only son Jordan Sheppard who was taken from me way too soon on December 21, 2018. My son was my world and as the days progress it doesn't get any easier.  My son was an avid Lakers fan, he loved Kobe Bryant and NBA basketball in general, and enjoyed playing on his PS4.  He also loved fashion and dressing nice; even winning the best dressed award in high school at The Ohio School for The Deaf/DACC where he eventually graduated in 2009. Jordan attended The Delaware area career center in 11th and 12th where he studied computer/graphics. The following year he attended RIT/NTID for the deaf in Rochester, NY for college.  Jordan was completely deaf, active and impacting the deaf community and fluent in American Sign Language.  Jordan was a highly intelligent, caring individual who wanted to carry out his dream living in the California sunshine and to experience life.  The above photo is of him traveling and being the carefree spirit he was.  He was very positive, outgoing and loved by so many family and friends. He will be missed.  As you can imagine, this has been very difficult on everyone that knew and loved him and I want nothing more than my sons legacy to live on through the memories of the people that loved him, may he never be forgotten. 100% of the proceeds donated to this campaign in his memory will go directly toward funeral expenses as I never prepared for this and carried no life insurance.  Any donations left over after funeral expenses, will be donated to The Ohio School for The Deaf basketball team and sports program.  Funds for this campaign are needed immediately, the sooner the funds are donated the sooner he can be laid to rest in peace.  My family and I appreciate anything that is donated, no amount is too big nor too small.  The designation and person in charge of this campaign is my brother, Dale Sheppard.  He will make certain that 100% of the proceeds donated will go to directly towards this campaign.  We ALL thank each and every person that will donate to this cause and to all that loved my son,  Jordan.  God Bless
