Serenity Funeral Home Burin Obituaries: Remembering Robert George Sheppard

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Robert George Sheppard, a cherished member of the Salt Pond community, at the age of 73, on December 'date' at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Center.

Born in 'birthplace', Robert spent most of his life surrounded by the natural beauty of the Salt Pond Trail, where he would often take long walks and cherish the company of his walking friends. His love for the outdoors was matched only by his love for his family and friends. Robert's infectious enthusiasm and zest for life made him a beloved figure in the community.

Leaving to mourn with loving and precious memories are his daughters, Cindy (Anthony) Kelly and Cathy (Eugene) Dimmer; his grandchildren, Mark & Sarah Kelly, Bradley (Stephanie) Clarke, Brandon Clarke, Claire Kirby & Olivia Clarke; great-grandchildren, Daisy and Harvey Clarke; sisters, Nina Sheppard (Kathleen) of Burin, NL, and Linda Brushett (George) of Lewin's Cove, Nieces, Penny Brushett, & Nadia Young (Jason); and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Robert was predeceased by his parents, George and Freda; sister, Connie; Baby Elsie Clarke; other special family members; and beloved dog, Mindy. He will be dearly missed by his precious dog, Molly, as well as a large circle of very special close friends and family.

In recognition of Robert's passion for hunting, fishing, walking, sports, darts, and photography, the family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and staff at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Center for the outstanding compassion and care he received during his time in hospital. Their dedication and kindness will never be forgotten.
