Jesse Wood Sheppard

I never had the privilage of knowing Jesse personally, but I have heard so many great stories about him. He was very big in 4-H. I just came home from 4-H camp and Thursday night at closing campfire we had a special memorial for him his parents and grandparents and other members of his family were there and it was a really special moment for everyone. There were many people that cried me and my friends were some of those people, but we new that Jesse would not have wanted us to do that he...

So Jesse and I first met when I was in 8th grade. We were at Praise and Worship practice and all he did with me was joke around. He picked on me like I was his little sister. After then we got really close. He knew exactly what to tell me when I came to him for help. I remember exactly what we did after graduation when he was packing to leave for the beach. We ate and he packed. We went to his room and he showed me his new laptop and then I just grabbed him and gave him the biggest hug. I...

Jesse Wood Sheppard he was a great person. he always knew how to make anyone smile. I will miss him dearly. I have just graduated from North stokes. I found out about jesse while beginning my own beach trip. this was hard for me to take in expecally when NSHS just lost a student this year in a wreck Sonia Luster. To be honest my emotions were mixed with sad,denial, and madness when i found out, i didn't want to believe it. Its hard to see a person the same age of you and knowing that they...

I never had the privilege of knowing Jesse. From what I've read about him online the last few days he seemed like a wonderful young man.

My wife and I lost our daughter Kellie in "97 at the age of 14 and our son Daniel in '06 at the age of 16 so I know how much pain the family, friends, etc. are feeling now.

Nothing I or anyone do can take that pain away but I just want to say that God can and will get you through each second of every day if you let him. Sometimes the...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Jesse was in the PCHS band with my sister Faith Martin. They were on the drum line together. He was such a precious guy. I heard many stories about him, but the one thing that stands out the most is how compassionate he was to others and how much he loved the Lord. My prayers go out to this family, and I praise God for his legancy that he has left for all. May God Bless you all, and give you the peace and comfort that you deserve.

I am so sorry for you loss. Jesse will always live on through all of the lives that he had touched during his short time on this Earth. Jesse always kept a smile on his face no matter what life handed him. I'll always remember how polite he was. He was such a sweet kid and will be sorely missed by so many people.

I met Jesse at 4-H camp. And he made my first 4-H camp really great! He is my bff because he was funny, thoughtful, and caring! And I will miss him soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!

I first met Jesse at Patrick County High School with my boyfriend John. The first thing he said to me was... your beautiful. Ever since then i've loved to be around him. He was a great kid and made me laugh a lot. Im going to miss him, along with MANY other people.
