On May 21st, 1968 the realest man we know, Henry Lee Shields Jr was brought into this world by parents, Henry Lee Shields Sr. & Mable Lee Shields.
Henry was an exceptional man, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, God father, as well as an in-law, relative and last but definitely not least, a genuine friend.
Henry loved spending time with his forever grateful wife, Reshonde Moore- Shields, alongside his children, Andre (Valencia) Moore, and Rickey (Christin) Evans Jr. He's accompanied by his grandchildren: Keylin Watkins, CaMariyah Young, Shondra, Aundrea, Tamara, Ka'Miyah & Za'Riyah Moore. The great grandkids of his being: RJ, Naomi & Jr. The bonus children of his such as: Alicia (Chris) Choice & family and Timothy Ferguson & family, along with his bonus grandkids: Jay, Jaden & Stack. Finally, his loving god daughters, Brittney Brown & Gabriel Thompson.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his brothers Marshall (Michelle) Shields & Ricky (Mrs) Flannary and sisters Sylvia (Eddie), Sarah (James), Annie, Genevia, Mabel & Mary -RIP Shields and a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews & relatives. Bonus brothers & sister; Tony Frost, Steve Cameron, Dave Holbel and Tonya Griffin. The Enterprise Family of his being Rod, Fred, Rodgee, Shay, Izzy, Macy & Maria just to name a few.
I would like to give a special thanks to the Dialysis Team at Fresenius Kidney Care here in Fayetteville, for all they did for my husband each and every week. A deep and sincerely special thank you to Dr. Richmond K. Nuamah aka (DOC as Henry referred to him as), for exceptional care and genuine concern for my husband. Also, Tech Leslie who Henry referred to as his dialysis niece. (Unc) talked about you all the time. Thank you for all your assistance. To Dr. Daka & Dr. Sara, thank you both for all your care and guidance.
To my wonderful & caring manager, Mr. Rembert Ivey and to the God sent Angel Kaylee Ford, I will forever be humbly grateful for the both of you for standing by my side at one of my lowest points in life.
Now to you Henry Lee Shields Jr. (Dad to me), there has not been a word created to describe what you have meant and still mean to me & our family. Your unselfish & unconditional love for us has truly been a gift from God. You have taught us the true meaning of unconditional love, forgiveness, discipline (although we are still works in progress), and structure (again were still under construction. It's all up to us now to apply what you have instilled within us, so your labor of love does not go in vain. You fought a good fight of faith but now you may rest, Gods son.
Peace Out Dad
Love Reshonde Moore Shields
&
Family.
