Steven Earl Shephard

He was a great friend in elementary school he would give you anything he had we spent many hours riding his Honda mini bike his bedroom was set up like the Star Trek enterprise his dad would give him old computers and he was so smart he had them lighting up and beeping his r2d2 costume he maid looked like the real thing from Star Wars one day me and him were getting mad at each other and I hurt his feelings well he got the best of me that day he said let´s go swing on my swing set all along...

I roomed with Steven for three weeks at OSU's Aerospace Academy in June of 1991. GREAT GREAT GREAT GUY! We had an absolute blast for those three weeks! I can't even begin to explain the adventures we encountered in that short time. I didn't stay in contact with anyone afterwards, and just started looking people up about a month ago. Was shocked and saddened by the news of Steven even at 15 years after his passing. Though, as I read his bio I swelled with pride. Memories came flooding...

To the family and friends of Chief Warrant Officer Steven E. Shephard:
Please accept my remembrance of Steven on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

I will remember you more than just 1 day a year Stephen. You always had a smile or a joke to cheer someone up. You will always be missed my dear friend. Along with your beautiful wife and parents and family your friends will be sure that your beautiful wonderful daughter knows who you were and what you stood for. I pray that your family moves forward with only the memories of joy that you brought to their life and the lives of others. I also ask that if they ever need my help and I can help...

The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.

While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more

To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one...

I miss you so much every day cuz, but deer season makes me miss you all the more. So many memories, so many good times.....so many stories I get to tell on you now. Luv ya brother!

You and Steven had an amazing little girl and i know thru her you will always see Steven. He always had a smile for everyone and something to say to cheer them up. Bless you and your little Sierra.
