Peacefully, surrounded by loving family on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at St. Joseph’s Hospice, Paul Edward Shepherd passed away at the age of 54. Beloved partner of Tara Pounds. Loving father of Kayla (Daniel) LeBlanc, Samantha Shepherd, and Colton Shepherd. Cherished grandfather of Thomas LeBlanc and Brynlee LeBlanc. Dear brother of Richard (Denise) Shepherd, and Lynette Shepherd. Predeceased by his parents David and Lynda Shepherd. He will be missed by his best Friend Steve (Angela) Metcalfe and several nieces and nephews with a special mention of his nephew David.
Family and friendships meant so much to him, he took every opportunity to spend time with those he loved. We will remember him with fondness as we think of his random texts, phone calls, and surprise visits that we were all blessed with. Paul loved to travel and enjoyed spending his time out on his motorcycle, day tripping to little towns scattered all around. Above all, Paul was a family man and will be missed so deeply by his children, grandchildren, and all those who knew and loved him.
Cremation has taken place.
A celebration of Paul’s life will take place at the Forest Legion, 58 Albert St, Forest, on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. with words of tribute being shared at 2:00 p.m.
Sympathy may be expressed through donations to St. Joseph’s Hospice (cheques only at the funeral home please). Arrangements entrusted to Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia.
