Doug Shepard

After living a life filled with love and adventure, Douglas Lloyd Shepard passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday, November 15, 2021. He was 84 years old.

Family and friends tenderly hold their treasured memories of this kind, faithful, generous, and intelligent man deep in their hearts. Doug was quite a punster who loved to laugh and make others laugh.  He had a passion for fishing, hunting, camping (especially at Baker Lake), listening to music, singing and making up whimsical songs, and admiring the beauty in nature. If you ever wanted to know the name of a tree or animal, Doug could tell you. He was like an encyclopedia that way.

In his later years, Doug enjoyed growing roses and hibiscuses and feeding the birds in his backyard. Most of all, he cherished spending time with family, pets, and friends. Doug always put his family first.

Doug is survived by his soulmate and wife of over 60 years, Anna; son, Mark; daughters, Joy and Lori; son-in-law, Dean; daughter-in-law, Pam; grandchildren, Eric, Tim, Angela; great-grandchildren, Riley, Isla, Camila, and Jaxson; and nephews, Mike, Kevin, and Tom.

Doug was an exceptionally good man. He is and will be missed.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 21 at 11 a.m. at the United Church of Ferndale, 2034 Washington St.
