Joe Shepherd Obituary
Joe attended Austin High School from 1966-1969. He graduated from High School in Palos Verdes, CA., in 1971. He was a member of Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 32. Joe received his private pilots license and became a member of an elite skydiving group that made many jumps into events. Joe retired as a salesman from Interstate Bakery and Wheat Montana. He lived in Missoula, Montana for 50 years prior to moving to Alabama in 2023 because of health reasons.
Per Joe's request he will be cremated. Part of his ashes will be buried beside his parents and the remaining ashes will go to Montana because that was where Joe's heart was!
Survivors include:
Three Sisters - Suzanne Randolph, Decatur, AL., Jan Chaffee (Bryan), Oldsmar, FL.,
Judy Shepherd (Karen), Laquinta, CA
Best Friends Since High School - Steve Damron & His Family
