David Thomas Shears Sr.

It brings a smile to my face sitting here reflecting on the blessed memories of Elder Shears & what joyous fellowship in services we had as we worshipped the Lord on one accord. He humbly accepted an invitation when I requested he be guest speaker at a men's day service in Newport News on Jefferson Ave. It was the first time I'd seen so many of his family members at one time who I could see gave him much love & support accompanying him to the service. I have missed his big genuine smile & him...

What a wonderful man! He was so humble and mild mannered. It was a joy to help him when he would come in our office. Unfortunately, I did not learn of his passing until today. I am so very sorry! He is in a much better place!

Happy 85th Birthday!!! I love you & miss you dearly!!! Wishing you were here to celebrate your birthday with us!!!
Your Daughter,
Carol

Please allow me, on behalf of all of us at the Sheriff's Office, to extend my deepest sympathies to your family as you go through this time of grief. We pray the love of God enfolds you during this difficult time.

I know you will find comfort and support in your family and friends. However, we are here to help in any way we can, and if there is...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
