Roy Shepherd

Roy was a wonderful brother-in-law and Godly friend. He loved all kinds of activities and was rarely idle. He would gladly help anyone. He put his wife, son, grandchildren and family first. I never saw him moody except when his rabbits did not breed sucessfully at first. That problem was soon remedied with the rabbits themselves and I never saw any grumpiness the rest of the time we visited and had wonderful meals with his wife, Ann. Being teachers, we were easily able to discuss our...

Roy has a servants heart and was a kind friend. He was always upbeat and ready to lend a hand. He was a teacher who genuinely cared about his classroom students and encouraged his peers to keep learning and trying new things. It was a privilege to call him friend.

I taught school with Roy in Poteau. He was a really nice man and I know he will be missed. Sorry for the families loss.

Roy was a great teacher, great friend and great christian! I will miss him dearly, but with Jesus as our Savior will met again someday in Heaven! Prayers for Ann, Jason and all the family! Love Freddie Edwards

Prayers go out to the family!! He was a greet teacher and will be missed!!!

Mr. Shepherd was my third grade teacher at Poteau Primary and he was by far one of the most exceptional teachers/influential people in my life. I have fond memories of listening to him read the classics aloud which led to a love of literature, but the thing I remember most is our school play where I had a speaking part, but no costume and he made me the costume. Such a wonderful man who I know is receiving many rewards in Heaven!!

Sorry for your loss

Mr. Shepherd was my third grade teacher for the 1993-1994 school year at Poteau. He was one of my favorite teachers I ever had. I always remember his warm personality. He would always read us Louis Lamar books in class. Something Im sure most teachers dont do. I soaked up every word. My condolences to his family. He was a special man who impacted SO many.

In loving memory of a wonderful cousin and friend. We will remember you and miss you always.
