William Thomas Sheppard, 80, of Logan, WV, departed this life on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at Trinity Healthcare Services in Logan, WV.

He was born June 20, 1945, in Logan, WV, a son of the late John L. Sheppard and Jewel Mills Sheppard.

William had a love for music and sports. He was an avid football fan, and his enthusiasm for the game was evident in every way. He also had a love for animals.

Those left to cherish his memory are three sisters, Connie (Earl) Sheppard, Robin Sheppard, and Jeanie Williams. Additionally, he leaves behind many nieces and nephews along with a host of extended family and friends.
