I had no idea where to post something like this, and I barely know how to use these forums. It took me awhile to even figure out his password to get in here and let you all know this ...
Here goes....
Hi Guys. This is Kelley Lynn, Don Shepherd's wife. He was DonS on here, and I am pretty sure that a lot of you know him well. He posted here a LOT, and loved coming on here at the end of his EMT work shifts to chat, laugh, and hang out and talk about all things tennis. He hung out here and on a music site forum all the time. Those were his two passions, tennis and guitars. He loved this website, and these forums, and so I had to come on here and tell you all what happened. Im sorry it took me this long, but I had to locate his password and info to get on here correctly.
I guess Ill just go ahead and say it. This is so f**king hard.
My husband Don died on Wed July 13th, early in the morning. He was at his part time job at a Petsmart where he stocked shelves ...he had picked up the job so that we could save up money for a new car since ours was very old. They found him collapsed on the floor of the store, ambulance came, CPR, everything. They couldnt save him. He had a massive heart attack at only 46 yrs old. Its been two weeks and Im still in complete shock and despair. I cant stop crying writing this. He was the love of my life. We are still waiting for autopsy results ... I have no idea why this happened. He seemed very healthy. He loved to play tennis, ride his bike, and especailly play his guitars. He would play for hours, and Im a singer, and we would sing and play in our little apt together, just having fun for hours. I still cant wrap my head around the fact that hes gone. I miss him so so so much every single second. I just HAD to come on here and let you all know. His name was Don Shepherd. He was an EMS. He was also an Air Force Vet, huge animal lover, and the best person I have ever known. Now its just me and our two kitties, and I dont know what to do next, or how to live without him. He would probably tell me to stop being so overdramatic, but this is hell. Im only 39. He was so young. We didnt even get 5 yrs of marriage. Its so unfair.
Thanks for making him happy with your back and forth banter in here. Im a comedian, so he and I had a LOT of laughs every single day, and I know he loved coming in here to shoot the sh*t and talk about tennis. When we first met, the very first day, I took him to the US OPEn, Ill never forget how happy he was to go there that day. This is just so so sad and Im so lost right now.Butg I wanted you all to know. If anyone wants or needs to verify that I am who I say I am or anthing like that, feel free to email me at kelleylynn926@yahoo.com
Thanks for the banter and the conversation you all gave him. He had a blast in here talking to you all and joking around and even exchanging tennis rackets with a lot of you. I have about 15 rackets here of his,l and have NOT A CLUE how to sell them or whast the best thing to do with them would be. Maybe you guys can help.
Love Kelley
