Dear Sheppard family , I know you all are going through the hardest time in your lives right now. I'd like to say you guys have all my deepest sympathy and I send my condolences as well. Tyreke was a wonder to many and touched a lot of people and he didn't even know until now. He was my good friend and treated everyone well. I remember the time You , Ellasia , and myself was in the hallway laughing and playing. Those are the memories I will have when you come to mind my friend. You are loved and missed by many , and there'll always be a place in my heart for you Tyreke , so may you rest in peace my friend I love you and I miss you.

Ty Ty,
I feel like I'm in a bad dream. Your death seems surreal to me. On Thursday, December 13 (two days before your death), I hugged you for the last time, saw your smiling face for the last time and spoke with you for the last time. However, not knowing it was our last time together. I can still hear your voice of our last conversation. It's ringing in my head over and over again.
I thank God for allowing us to have and share our last time together which was so pleasurable(as always). Like I told you that night, it was good seeing you and you looked good.
Thank you God for blessing and placing such a handsome and well-mannered young man in our family. He was such an angel.
Ty TY, you will be deeply missed. May you now rest in the comfort of our almight God's arms. In spite of our deepest sorrow, God still gets all the honor and glory for He is worthy to be praise.
To my family (Sheppard, Griffin and Roper)we will get through this together because God has binded us together with chords of love that cannot be broken.
Ty Ty, you will be in our hearts forever. Love you always,

this is all still unreal to me. it's like i just talked to Tyreke and just seen him. I've known Tyreke since 6th grade. The first year of our friendship was rocky but we got through that. last year me and his friendship got stronger, we got really close. anytime something was wrong he would talk to me sometimes even cry to me in school and over the phone. Tyreke; like everybody else in this world has gone through a lot and has a story. i have many great memories of Tyreke. one of my most favorite memories is when me and Tyreke walked around the gym talking about things that happened in middle school and he was telling me how much he has changed since middle school. i will miss Tyreke dearly he was a great friend that kept me laughing no matter what kind of day i was having. R.I.P Tyreke I love you.
