David F. Shepherd Jr.

David was born December 30, 1956, in Franklin, IN, the first son of David F. Shepherd Sr. and LaRetta Mae (Dennis) Waltz Hoard.

He was a graduate of Columbus East High School and held a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics from Indiana University. He was employed at PMG as a machine operator.

He enjoyed collecting rock music and going to concerts. Science fiction movies and on-line poker took up much of his leisure time, but most important was spending time with family and friends.

May he rest content.
