Edward Shepherd Jr. Was a loving and faithful Husband, protective Father, loving big Brother, caring Son and Friend to many. He always put the safety and care of family and friends before himself. He had a heart of gold, a contagious laugh and smile. He loved to reminece and laugh about old family stories and always had a funny joke to make everyone smile - even in the darkest times.

Some may have known him at Lt. Shepherd or Shep, we knew him as Dad, Uncle Eddie, Gunk, Bear, and Bud. On May 21, 2025 he lost his battle with his declining health. He fought and persevered through so much over these past few years. But we find solice in knowing God decided it was his time to come home. He will be loved and missed dearly.

Any help we may receive in donations towards upcoming funeral and medical expenses will be greatly appreciated. Please feel no obligation.

Thank each and every one of you for the out pouring love. On behalf of him, I know he would want us to thank you and tell each and everyone of you wholeheartedly that he loved you all dearly.
