Jeffrey Joe Shepherd

Jeff and I first met in first grade at Gordon School and were friends ever since. Jeff was taken from us all to quickly and he has left a whole in my heart that can never be filled again. Jeff brought a joy to my life that only a true friend can and he has left me with boyhood memories that still bring a smile to my face and a chuckle to my heart. Here's thinking of you my friend, some day we will get to hang out again.

I knew Jeff as a boy. We went to Gordon Elementary together. He was so very intelligent. I was small and he was big. We were quite a pair! I moved away from Marshall in 1972. He always figures prominently in my memories of my childhood. He was a kind, bright and gentle soul when I knew him, and really great friend. I'm sorry he passed on at such a young age. May God receive him with light and warmth.
