Here we are again leaving another reflection to the family and all who knew Sgt. Sheppard. Another officer lost because of someone not paying attention. Here at the studio we share all of our prayers and our deepest sympathies with the wife, and family, loved ones, and sisters and brothers who wear the badge of law enforcement.
Hopefully the good Lord above will help you through these trying times and of course through the holidays, which is even harder.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Dear, dear Sheppard Family, and especially Shelley,
Please accept my sincerest condolances at the loss of Sgt. Sheppard. Our family knows too well the agony, pain, and shock you are all experiencing at this time, having lost our beloved Trooper Jon Parker last year. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all; although right now you feel that your world has caved in and all is black and bleak, life will get better but, as you and we well know, will never be the same. Dear ones--family, friends, and colleagues-- cling tightly to our Lord, who truly is the God of all comfort. Of that I am sure.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Debbie Brewer

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Sgt Sheppard, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest

In Loving Memory...
For those who didn't know Jason, I can honestly say it was your loss. I met Jason a few years ago when he started work at the sheriff's office. He came to my shift, and went to work like he had been doing it for years. We became pretty close over the few years I have known him. We shared many of the same interests and dislikes. We even decided to wreck our patrol cars about a month apart, both of us going to calls involving knives. There were many nights at work that we sat in our cars, window to window, reminding each other why we do the job we do. If in the many years we are on this earth, we help but one person, we have helped make the world a better place. Jason helped a countless number of people during his stay here in this world. He has made a mark that will last in many peoples lives. Jason became on of my closest friends on the department and I discovered that he enjoyed the other great passion in my life. Singing. If you never had a chance to hear jason sing, again it will be your loss. He had a voice that drew the attention of an entire room when he began to sing. Jason was a great friend, an extraordinary officer, and loving husband. He will be missed dearly and will not be forgotten.

Jason gave his life unselfishly so that others could remain safe! That is a sacrifice that is not made very often in todays world, and those that put their own lives on the line should always hold a special place in your heart and in your prayers.
