Terry Sheppard

(From Cantlon-Otterness & Viets Funeral Home)

Terry Lee Sheppard, 61, of Louisburg, Missouri, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2025, at his home.

Terry was born on November 14, 1963, in Kansas City, Kansas to Jack and Patricia (Martinez) Sheppard.

Terry was a man who truly loved life and those around him. He had a lifelong passion for Rock-N-Roll music. He loved fishing and hunting and he worked with boats for many years. Although he never married or had children of his own, he was a devoted uncle who treated his nieces and nephews as if they were his own children. Terry never knew a stranger and had a remarkable ability to make others laugh with his many stories. He cultivated many friendships throughout his life, that he held onto and cherished. His optimistic spirit was often encapsulated in his well-known saying, “It’s All Good.”

He was preceded in death by his dad, Jack Sheppard, maternal and paternal grandparents, two uncles: Bob and Don Sheppard.

He is survived by his mom, Patricia Wilson of Butler, Missouri, mom, Sylvia Sheppard of Granby, Missouri, two sisters; Tracy Adams of Springfield, Missouri, Stephanie Parish of Louisburg, Missouri, one brother David Sheppard of Illinois, many nieces and nephews; Kara, Skyler, Brandon, Taiylor, David, Hannah, Frankie, Katilynn, Samantha, great nieces and nephews; Mackenzie, Kayla, Logan, Lennox, Crosley, Kaelynn, uncles and aunts; Erine and Anna Sheppard, Sharon Sheppard, Steve and Brenda Sheppard, Larry and Debbie Angell, Jackie and Debbie Martinez, as well as many cousins and friends who will all truly miss him dearly.

It's all good, keep on rocking.
