Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am so thankful to Rep. Bill Taylor of Aiken for getting all that needed to be done in order to get my son honored & remembered for his service to Aiken county. The I-20 interchange will renamed after him on May 16th at 10:00am. This has been a long time coming. I am again so thankful to Rep. Taylor for being a good man & representive and not letting the ball drop as it has in the past. It's good to have someone represent you that really cares. Jason gave his life to help others and I DO NOT want him forgotten. I know that night will always be yesterday to me.

It took me 6 years and 2 months to put somthing on here, not because I didnt wont to but because I didnt have to, because you already knew I loved you and miss you. You know we were alike when it comes to somthing like this. Its like writing a letter to you and knowing you cant write back. But you know we talk to each other everyday in some shape or form. Not a day goes by that I think about you. I know you probrably thinking how I found the time to sit and peck on this computer, (Ha Ha) and write this. Well Im in Florida working night shift with daddy. Yea out of town, you know im a home body that likes to stay around the farm, but needed to come sop up some of this gravy money LOL. Everything is good around the house. I got a friend looking over it for us. Katelyn is doing well, yea driving , oh my. Growing up fast. Brandi and boo, yea i said boo thats Jade. She is a true Sheppard let me tell ya. She is a card, just like me and you. I know Im sopose to say you and I, but im not writing a english paper, Im talking to you. LOL. It just aint the same with you gone. I remember the day of the accident, when i was on my way home from work and i saw all the emergency vehicles, and I called you and asked what was going on. And you told me. Then I got there and saw you puttimg on your reflective vest, before you got in the highway to direct traffic. Even though you was on your way home, you didnt have to stop but it was in your blood to stop and help. I understand because we are just alike when it comes to helping people. So i left and started home, and you called me back to ask me to do somthing for you when i got home. It never crossed my mind that I would never talked to you in person again. I hadnt got 10 miles down the road before the accident happened. Im just thankful that I was the last person to talk to you. You had your real LAST CALL with your brother. Love you man!!
Yes im still deer hunting, put 2 on the wall the past 2 years, and you were with me both times. You never will be replaced with anyone. Me and keith hang out and hunt and cook wild game. You know me, you, and Scott C played ball and grew up together, we were all like brothers. Me and Scott hang out all the time messing around on the farm. Boo loves the dirt just like me and you did. She will get plum dirty, but you know thats good for ya. Im gonna tell ya somthing bout brandi, man she can cook, im pushing 200 lbs, i bet you would be bout 225 lol, you already had by about 25 lbs lol.
Well im gonna get off of here, its 4:30 am and pop will be here soon, even though he wouldnt say anything. I could keep writing but you know the deal. Talk to ya soon, tommorrow, like we always talk. By the way tell grandaddy and Fred i said hey.
LOVE YA , BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!
Your Brother,

Danny

I was thinking about you today brother. One of the Officers in my home town was killed the other day and I am attending his funeral tomorrow. Not a day goes by I don’t think about you and all our other brothers and sisters that have been taken from us. Just wanted to let you and your family know you are not forgotten...Godspeed Jason

" Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you". Deuteronomy 31:6

Mr. Sheppard, Jason's father, this is the verse that comes to my mind each year when I see you reflection on Charles' page. This verse also reminds me how brave our sons were each time they reported for duty, they put on the armor of God and went forward into battle. When I read the newspaper clippings of Charles death, now, I see the difficult pain our boys went through with the political entanglements yet they show up and got the job done. I can not thank you enough for your continued courage to comfort us all, even in your own sorry. Jason was taught by a great master!
God go with you, protect you and keep until we glorify him face to face.

Thank you for letting your love light shine!

Although it has been five years since you were taken, I know the pain felt by your family will always be there. A parent should never have to experience the loss of a child; but, unfortunately, it happens even to "us" regular people. Thank you, Mr. Sheppard, for writing on my son, Eric DeWit's, page. He was a wonderful young man, as your son was, and I would give my life just to have him back with his wife and daughter. Althought it's been almost 9 years, it feels like yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always. You are never alone.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Dariel DeWit

It's been 5 years (tonight at 11:40) since you left us Jason and it is not any easier. I hope and pray that all who knew you can find peace of mind and smile a little as they remember all the good things you accomplished during your short stay with us. As always our christmas tree has only blue lights on it in rememberance of you and the Thin Blue Line.

I will never forget that night as long as I live, but Thank you
God for all of the good,loving & funny memories you have allowed me. Jason got to do so many things during his time here. I can look back now and see what a full life he had. He was blessed with a beautiful voice, great personality, and a kind heart. He was also blessed with a beautiful wife who is very much still a part of our lives with a wonderful husband and their precious little girl, they are a great part of our lives. I so look forward to the day we will all be together again. On Mother's Day Danny (his brother) my Mom and my sister watched videos of the boys high school years we laughed & cried. The hardest to watch was his wedding as he sung to Shelley that he would always be there. I do know he is still watching over all of us and that he is happy. Thank you God for the time you allowed us to have him. Thank you for my Danny and the joy he, Brandi, Katelyn and Jade bring to us. I know Jason is still a part of their life as Jade knows who Uncle Jason is and she's only 3. She like her Daddy & Jason loves to laugh & make you laugh. Life is Good!!!

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones during the anniversary of your being called away from duty and also the Christmas holiday that will soon be here. The holidays are a very hard time for all of us who have lost someone, especially a child as there is no greater loss or heartache.
Continue to watch over your loved ones, you have not been forgotten.

Jason, it's now been 4 long years since you were take from us. I'm not so sure about the old saying "Time heals all" because it sure isn't getting any easier not having you around. You are missed every day, and especially missed during the Holiday's. We sure miss your singing both at home and at church.

Jason,
Just to let you know I have not forgotten your birthday. Sandy and I took Ashley by the station this past Friday to see your memorial, and I asked her who that was in the picture on your badge and she said Uncle Jason. She may have been only six months old when you let us, but she knows who her Uncle Jason is and loves listening to you sing when we play you CD while riding around.

You will never be forgotten by all those whose lives you have touched. I know the never ending pain and heartbreak your family feels even still. Your dad left a message on my own son's Memorial Page. Good men gone too soon. Such sadness.

Just wanted to let you and your family know that we have not forgotten you, or them. Your father wrote on my sons site, and he is so right Holidays are hard, I know James will agree that everyday is a struggle. We will always miss our children and we will never forget. Thanks James we will never forget the sacrifice that you and your family live with everyday without Jason here to share new memories with him.
Sgt. Sheppard you are a hero, stay close to your family let them know you are there, and look Clint up and give him a big hug for me...
