David Sheffield Obituary
David Sheffield, a beloved servant of God and cherished family man, passed away on December 2, 2024, in Jacksonville, Florida, surrounded by his loving family. Born on January 6, 1950, in Smithville, Mississippi, David devoted his life to ministering and sharing the gift of faith with those around him. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Masters degree in Divinity, which served as the foundation for a lifetime committed to uplifting others through his spirituality.
David's personality shone brightly in every aspect of his life. He was known for his kind and humble spirit, always ready to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement. His great sense of humor was infectious; he often lightened the mood with well-timed humor, reminding everyone around him not to take life too seriously. David's dedication to his faith was paralleled only by his deep love for his family, which he considered his greatest accomplishment. He took immense pride in his role as a husband, father, and grandfather.
David is survived by his adoring wife, Robin Sheffield, and their three children: Raina Ramos, Samuel Sheffield II, and Jordan Sheffield. David's legacy will continue through his treasured children and grandchildren, whose lives he touched profoundly with his unwavering love and guidance.
In celebration of his life and legacy, a service will be held at Redeemer Church on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. followed by a reception. Friends and community members are invited to gather in reverence and love to rejoice a life well lived.
David's journey on this earth, though complete, leaves behind countless memories for those who were fortunate enough to know him. He was a beacon of hope and strength, reflecting his love for God through action, kindness, and an abundance of laughter. Let us rejoice in the knowledge that his spirit lives on in the hearts of all who loved him.
In lieu of flowers it is David's wish that donations be made to Redeemer Mission Fund or to the charity that is closest to your heart. Please visit his online Tribute at www.quinn-shalz.com.

Our family first met David at Redeemer church. David was a help to me and my family during a difficult time . He was a beacon of light and hope but at same time a friend like no other. David was a true Christian example of how God wants us to show love to others. Thank You David for making your mark on my family and being there for us. We will never forget you. Robin, we pray for strength for you and your family.

David was a great brother=in-law. For such a gentle soul he was a tough guy who endured years of debilitating health challenges. He was a good husband to my sister and I will miss his humor. I wish I could have seen more of him but I've lived in California since 1973. Love you, Bro.

I was a member of Beaches Chapel back in the 1990s, when David was an Associate Pastor. During that time, I came to know David quite well. The things I remember most about him were his kindness towards those around him, and his dry sense of humor. The people around him were blessed by his simply being there. To Robin; may that " peace that passes all understanding" wrap itself around you like a warm blanket. May you rejoice in the sure knowledge that you'll be with David again.

Larry and I remember David as a good friend, a kind man, an inspiration and wonderful compassionate spiritual leader. He will be deeply missed. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with Robin and all of the family. The whole family means so much to us. Our hearts are with you. We know David is with Jesus and sharing in His glory. In this we find comfort knowing we will see him again with Jesus.
