Obituary: Seth Anthony Shepard, 47; Stratford Native

From Abraham L. Green and Son Funeral Home

Seth Anthony Shepard, 47, of Orange, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Seth was the devoted husband of Hallie (Wisot) Shepard and beloved father of Spencer and Mason. Seth was born in Bridgeport, a son of Norman Shepard (Lynn) and the late Diane Giroux Shepard. Seth was the cherished brother to Steven (Susan) Shepard, Scott (Yoon Hee) Shepard, Stuart Shepard, Susan Shepard (Keeney), and Stacey (Ralph) Aurelia. Seth was the loving son (in-law) of Richard and Elaine Wisot and brother-in-law to Neil Wisot. Seth was also the loving uncle to numerous nieces and nephews.

Seth grew up in Stratford and attended St. Joseph’s High School. He graduated from Gateway Community College and worked as an MRI Technician at Advanced Radiology in Orange. He was known for his kindness and compassion.

Seth was one of those rare people who quickly made life-long friends, many who refer to him as a “brother.” He often helped strangers without seeking recognition, always stepping in to help out anyone who needed him.

Seth was devoted to Hallie, his wife of nearly 20 years. Their marriage was one of partnership, respect, and deep friendship. Seth was devoted to his boys from the moment of their birth and had a hand in every aspect of their lives. He was their coach, their confidant and their cheering section along with their exceptional Mom.

His warm smile, his joyful face will not soon be forgotten but will be long missed.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made for Spencer and Mason Shepard’s education, c/o Wisot, 248 Argyle Road, Orange, CT 06477.
