Parker Shepard

Parker Bradly Shepard, age 14, passed away unexpectedly June 19th, 2025.

Parker was brought into this world August 27th, 2010 to Amber Skraba and Joshua Shepard

Parker lived life to the fullest and had a bright future ahead of him. He was an avid hunter and loved all things fast. He had a need for speed and was never afraid to get his hands on any project- big or small. He was always taking things apart and putting them back together with his buddies. He could always start a project, but it sometimes took awhile for the end to come into view.

He was involved in 4-H and loved showing his pigs. As one of the best all-star players for the Seymour football team, Parker loved the game and excelled at it. At home, he could always be found in the shop working on his toys, welding or tinkering with the future truck he dreamed of driving someday. He was always kind-hearted and eager to help with anything or anyone in need.

Parker will be deeply missed by his family, his tight-knit group of friends, and his entire community.

He is survived by his parents: Joshua Shepard and Amber Skraba (Rick); brothers: Jordon, Gavin and Weston Strebe; paternal grandparents: Steve and Kerry Shepard; and maternal grandmother, Cori Letter; paternal great-grandparents: Don and Faye Hansen; Mary Shepard; maternal great-grandfather Richard Moen; uncles: Tyler Shepard, Tanner Shepard (Macy), Quinton Shepard (Molly); aunts: Melissa Shepard (Paul), Chelsea and Nick Velie.

Parker was proceeded in death by his paternal grandfather, James Shepard, and maternal grandfather, Michael Skraba; maternal grandmother Linda Moen. He was also preceded by his best friend, Nathan Ambrosius.

He is further survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved him dearly.
