Coach Shepherd was an amazing man. He brought us Bulldogs to so many victories! He was my driver´s ed teacher! What a fun class that was with him!

RIP Coach Shepherd what great football teams we had back then! Thank you for being the leader that you were and influencing so many great young minds

I remember Coach Shepherd from my days at Winston Churchill HS. He was a great man who loved his job and the students.

Coach, no words can fully express my appreciation for your support and encouragement while I was exploring the sports medicine field. Although my career took a different path, my high school experience was made richer and memorable as a result. In the days ahead, may your family, friends and players find peace and comfort in their memories. As for the hearts you touched, the memories you´ve created, and the lives that you inspired, your signature word, as you stepped on the bus, best...

Jeri and Dan, Very sorry to hear of Fred's passing. He was a dear friend and I enjoyed our wonderful days of golf, dinners and parties together at Bryce, May you feel God's blessings at this time. George and Carlotta.

Bobby Keith and Mike McGowan against Perry on the road is the most perfect example of his confidence

Sending our love and prayers at this time of separation. Brad, Steve, and Dave Colton
