William Edward Sheppard Jr. Obituary
With solemn reverence, we commemorate William Edward Sheppard Jr. (Baltimore, Maryland), born in Camden, New Jersey, whose life came to an end on November 5, 2023 at the age of 73, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though William Edward may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.
He was predeceased by: his parents, William Edward Sheppard Sr. (Bill) and Clara Holtz; and his stepfather Richard Holtz. He is survived by: his wife Esther J. Sheppard; his siblings, Robert A. Sheppard (Betty Sheppard), Bonnie B. Sheppard, Bryan D. Holtz (Amy Holtz) and Barbara A. Lotierzo (Michael Lotierzo); and his siblings-in-law, Aaron D. Schooler and Marianne Schooler. He is also survived by loving nieces and nephews, and his band brothers.
Instead of flowers Bill would want you to express your love to those you hold dear or that any memorial tributes be made in the form of a charitable donation to his cherished accessible sailing program at the Downtown Sailing Center (https://connect.clickandpledge.com).
