Kevin Shepherd Obituary
Bossier City, La - Memorial services for Kevin Lee Shepherd will be 11 a.m. Saturday, February 17, 2018 at Rose-Neath Funeral Home in Bossier City. Officiating will be Rev. John Haigler of The Simple Church. Visitation will be 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, February 16, 2018 at Rose-Neath Bossier.
Kevin was born in Bossier City on January 19, 1986 and passed away February 12, 2018 in Bienville Parish. He served his country in the United States Marine Corps. Kevin was a Master Elite Service Technician for heavy equipment.
He was preceded in death by grandfathers, Thomas Fiut, Sr. and Jack Shelton and by his father -in-law, Randy Thomas.
Kevin is survived by his wife, Kelly Thomas Shepherd; daughter, Kayla Shepherd; son, Jace Shepherd; stepson, Preston Leone; mother, Patricia Shelton and fiancé, Patrick Mercer; father, Timothy Fiut, Sr., all of Bossier City; mother-in-law, Paula Thomas of Greenwood; grandmothers, Bobbie Jordan and Gladys McCollough; sister, Stephanie Fiut and her daughter, Alessa; brother, Timothy Fiut and fiancée, Tabitha Alford and their daughter, BrookLynn of Bossier City; sister-in-law, Tanya Smith and husband, Scotty and their children, Kelsie, Landon and Hadley; special uncle, Thomas Fiut, Jr.; cousin, Geri Lynn LeMaire and husband, Cody and numerous other family members and countless friends.
Kevin was a kind-hearted, hardworking and giving man. He was always a good provider for his wife and children and was Mr. Fix It for everything. He was proud of his children and it made him happy to give them the life they deserved. His hobbies were his family; spoiling his wife, watching Kayla cheer at competitions, playing baseball with Preston, and Jace being his right hand buddy fixing everything with his daddy. Kevin would do anything for anyone at any time of the day and loved to be a smart aleck with a big grin and a twinkle in his eye! Kevin would give anyone the shirt off his back - as long as it wasn't his Saints jersey. He had the heart of a servant by serving his country, family and friends selflessly. Kevin will be greatly missed and no one will be able to replace him.

Kayla, I am so sorry for your loss. We miss you in science class, and cannot wait for you to come back. With your own loving nature and positive attitude, it is no surprise that your dad was so, so proud of you! Hugs from afar, sweet girl!

Kelly, Kayla, Jace, & Preston,
I've tried to come up with the words to say all day. Our hearts are broken right along with yours. Kevin was a special person that we will always hold dear to our hearts. We can only imagine the pain and suffering that your family is going through. We all have very special memories together....Kevin in our wedding and Ruben in yours, fun times at the parades, swimming at the river, Saints games at your house on Sundays....the memories are just too many to list! We love you all and pray God's blessings and peace into your hearts.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my lift, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalms 23:4-6.
Rest In Peace Kev!

Kelly, I will always remember the first time I met Kevin, he was one of those special people you really like the moment you are introduced. His quick wit and yes, that personable smile he always seemed to have on his face will be in his loved ones and friends memories forever.

The Final Salute
Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Kevin Lee Shepherd our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Kevin. To Kevin it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. Kevin, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 961 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Kevin's family and loved ones.
