Anthony Shepherd

SHEPHERD, ANTHONY LEE ‘TONY”, age 33, of Shawsville, died Monday, June 22, 2009.

Tony was a loving, caring person. Left to love and cherish his memory are his children, Haze and Ameris Shepherd, Micah, Salomae and Jacinda Hatcher; wife, Jennifer; parents, Michael and Barbara Shepherd and Vickie Price; brothers, Michael (Victoria), Bear (Mellissa), Kevin; sisters, Teresa (Jimmy), Tessa (Clayton) and Amber; numerous nieces and nephews; aunts, uncles and cousins.

We would like to thank Horne Funeral Service for all they have done, with a special thanks to Eddie Trump, who has gone beyond the limits to help us. Special heartfelt thanks to Tony’s Uncle Rev Jerry Shepherd, cousins, Jack and Matt Shepherd for all they have done and the love they have shown.

Tony was a loving caring person. We will miss he mischievous grin, his silly voices, but most of all his wonderful bear hugs. He never left your house without saying “I love you”, We love you too Tony. Our lives will never be the same, we thank God for you. Your time with us was precious, it doesn’t seem right for parents to bury their children; it should be the other way around. God knows and understands how we feel. He made the ultimate sacrifice, he sent his only son to die for us, that through him we might have eternal life, What Love! He is our only hope, our comfort in times of sorrow. Family and friends of Tony if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior don’t wait. We do not have the promise of tomorrow. In this life we have many choices, in eternity only two“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27, Verse 1.

A memorial service for Tony will be 2 pm Sunday, June 28th at Cambria Pentecostal Holiness Church officiated by Rev. Jerry Shepherd. Family and friends will gather immediately following at the church. Please no flowers at this time. A visitation and service will be held later next week at Horne Funeral Service.
