Louis G. Shepard, 84

BELMONT — Louis G. Shepard, 84, passed away on Dec. 3, 2025, surrounded by his family.

He was a longtime resident of Bow and Belmont. He was a member of the Masonic Temple and the Bektash Temple Drum Corps, where he spent many years involved in its fellowship and traditions.

A hard-working man, Louis ran a successful family business that became a steady part of his life and work for many decades. His commitment to providing for his family and maintaining the business was a central part of who he was.

Louis is survived by his wife, Donna, his four daughters, Kimberly, Kristine, Kelley, and Keiron, and his seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Each of them carries their own memories of him, and his presence will be felt in their lives for many years to come.

A celebration of life honoring his life will be held 4-6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14, at the Franklin Elks Lodge, 125 S. Main St., Franklin.

Family and friends are invited to attend and remember him in their own way.
