With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Jeffrey W. Shepherd of Verona, Pennsylvania, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on June 10, 2025. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Jeffrey farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Jeffrey is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

Shepherd, Edward S. Shepherd (Renee), Maura K. Scott (Richard) and Kevin J. Shepherd (Kristine); and his brother-in-law George J. Vikara. He is also survived by 10 nieces and nephews, 4 great-nieces and a great-nephew.
