Words cannot express the deep sorrow we all feeling after losing such a wonderful and amazing man to Heaven. Sheldon made an personal impact on many and he’ll not be forgotten.
My sincere condolences to Sheldon’s beloved family. He was a great man with an amazing spirit and beautiful heart. He made a lasting impact on my life and on many others. May he be in eternal peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this sad time. My heart goes out to Sheldonβs friends as well. I will always remember Sheldon fondly and have wonderful memories of our high school years because of his amazing energy and engaging personality! I will always cherish these joyous memories and know that I was fortunate to have known Sheldon. His memory will live on in our hearts forever.
Sheldon I’m shocked you left us so suddenly. You will be missed by all that that have had priivalidge of knowing you. I’m feeling hollow now but will share your zest and energy for life to every one I encounter till I join you on the other side. I love you and miss you.
I’m at a loss on how to process your untimely departure. You were one of my closest friends and I can’t begin to express my grief. You were such a joy to have in my life. You will never be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to your family. I will miss you.
Sheldon worked for my company right out of college. He was family to us. We are all so sorry about this huge loss. He was such an incredibly positive person with the best attitude. He loved his family so much and lit up when he talked about them. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
I knew Sheldon in high school and had him in a few classes. He was one of the kindest, friendliest people I knew. He will be missed. Prayers to the family in this time of loss…
Was really painful when I heard you were gone. Figured you would want me to take the rest of the day off and drive to the beach with my kiddo and live that day with love, enthusiasm, and serenity. You made a big impact while you were here on earth. I’ll see you up there one day. Save me a seat.
Sheldon I am so thankful that I got to see you those two times we got together you were truly a good friend I’ll always remember you and remember how you told me that I’m a good Man those words will always stick with me forever I’m gonna miss you sheldon
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
My Dear Sheldon, So hard to believe that your face won’t be lighting up our office, jokes no longer being heard from your mouth.. You always put a smile on my face regardless of what our conversation was about. I still have your holiday card hanging in my office..and again.. you will always make me smile when I look at it π Blessed to meet you in life. My prayers are with your family and all your friends that you’ve touched in life. God Bless Sweet Sheldon
Dear Sheldon, Since I have first met you, it always felt like we were the oldest of friends. You had a great sense of humor and a positive attitude about life. You will be truly missed. My condolences and prayers go out to your family and friends. Until we meet again, my friend
I met Sheldon a few years back. After moving away a year ago we lost contact but there have been multiple occasions I have thought of our conversations. He was a man with endless compassion – in that he grew to love others without expectation or judgement. At times, he was my one sounding board for honest reflection, often sharing truthful and encouraging feedback in his own unique and humorous way. I will miss that big oβl grin staring back at me but there is zero chance it will be forgotten. He was as good a person as one might hope to become. Iβm glad he was also my friend.
I was so shocked and so saddened see if Sheldon’s passing. I met him when I worked at FacesSf and he was our broker but he became more than that to me. He became a friend. He was such an engaging, warm and passionate human being and he will be missed by so many .
