Obituary

David G. Sheperd, age 67, of Laguna Woods, California passed away on November 7, 2021.  David was an active member of the Laguna Woods Village, where he lived, participating in community softball games and social gatherings.  He grew up in Brooklyn, New York and later moved to New Jersey, where he raised his only child, Matthew, alongside ex-wife Karen Besca.  David was a proud, loving father and grandfather, as well as a fierce lover of life, family and friends.  During his life, he touched many people with his kindness, support, and incredibly strong heart.  In recent years, it was his deepest wish to help as many as he could, using his unique knowledge of medicine and wellness.

  1. My heart is extremely broken when I heard the news. David has been a wonderful man since I met him. He has inspired me through so much. The book he got me into has been such an eye opener and I will miss discussing it with him every time I would see him. He was a joy to talk to whenever I was able to talk to him. I am extremely sad to know that he won’t be shining his radiant light on people but his memories will live on. I will truly miss David. Writing this is already hard because I didn’t expect to be ever writing this so soon and I met him 7 months ago while working. My love and prayers will continue to reach his family and friends.
