Red Shepherd
February 12, 1932 — January 8, 2014
Edgar James ”Red” Shepherd
Born on February 12th 1932, to Theodore and Violet Jensen Shepherd in Tremonton, Utah. He was raised in Elwood, Utah. He attended Bear River High School, later moving to California where he met and married, Claire Mary Pisano Shepherd on August 11th, 1951. They later returned to Utah in the summer of 1969, where they made their home and raised their family in Paradise. After Mary’s passing, he married Viviana Podesta on August 23rd, 2002, with whom he lived in peace and happiness until his passing on January 8th 2014.
Red had an uncanny ability to work mechanically and found enjoyment working with his hands as a mechanic/carpenter throughout his life. It was often said of him, that he could fix anything.
Red made it clear that he had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and always counted himself honored to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was sealed in the Logan Temple to his beloved Mary on May 31st, 1995.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ted and Violet, and his sister, Thera Gardner. He is survived by his wife, Viviana, his brothers Jesse and John, and sisters, Connie and Georgia. He is also survived by his four children; Roger Shepherd (Ximena), David Shepherd (Josie), Sam Jeppson (David), Ginger Brakke. He was the delightful “old man” to 14 grandchildren
His children have wonderful memories of him and will miss him greatly! (We Love you Dad!)
Graveside services will be held on Saturday January 11, 2014 at 1:00 pm in the Paradise City Cemetery, Friends may call at the Paradise LDS Chapel from 12:00 till 1:00 pm. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.allenmortuaries.net
