Anthony John James (TONY)SHEPPARDWe are devastated to share news of the death of Anthony John James Sheppard on March 12th, 2024. Born in Churchdown at his parents' home, Tony Sheppard lived a life full of music. From the Quay Street Jazzmen and Delta Jazzmen through such bands as GYJO, Crescendo, and then Glevum Big Band, Tony lived his jazz on and off the stage. His rip-roaring trombone, jazzy keyboards, commanding baton, and smoky baritone vocals entranced audiences locally, nationally, and internationally. Tony spent his last months in the care of the Windsor Street Care Home and died there surrounded by family.
A memorial will take place at the Oak Chapel, Chapel Street, Cheltenham GL52 5JT, on April 15th, 2024 at 1pm. Instead of flowers, please send any donations to: Barnado's Children's Charity. Musicians: Join us in surrounding Tony with live music for a final time. Bring an instrument!
