I first met Morrie and Sharon in January 2008 at their office on Britton Road. I had just received my sales associate license and most people around me thought I was crazy to enter real estate at that time. Morrie was very supportive of my decision, reassuring of our chosen profession in a turbulent time, and providing confidence that we all would succeed.

In my nine years of working with Morrie, he not only guided and encouraged me, he was available to all his agents either at the office or over the phone. And, as always, Sharon was right there with her unflappable loving spirit.

As with many, I will miss Morrie's endless support of our industry, our association, and to the countless agents he influenced.

A heavy heart accompanies these words. The Oklahoma City Real Estate community mourns the loss of your unwavering positivity and light. Your deep love for Sharon set a standard for us all, a commitment to cherish. You were more than a husband, friend, and mentor. Your presence inspired, creating cherished memories in each interaction.

Your infectious smile reflected the joy you brought. Your unwavering belief in me fueled my ascent. Your friendship and wisdom remain invaluable, woven into my life's tapestry. Lessons, smiles, and support echo in my heart.

Farewell my friend and tell Judy we still miss her every day. Rest peacefully, knowing your legacy lives on.

This is hard because I feel like I’ve lost one of my biggest cheerleaders. 

Morrie was more than a broker, he was a true leader. He inspired, encouraged, and constantly supported those around him. He was a trailblazer in OKC real estate with a vision for a business model that, at the time, was completely foreign to our market. He took that vision, built it and made it successful. He always had time to listen and encourage me. And he ended every phone call with “Now Becky, what can I do to help you?” And he always truly meant it.

When I think of Morrie Shepherd, I think of the guy that inspired me to fight even harder to get more OKCMAR members to invest in RPAC. 

When I joined the OKCMAR staff in 2016, we were hitting a participation goal of about 16%. My goal was to get that number to at least a respectable 30%. So, I went looking for people to help. Morrie ended up being that guy. I asked him why he was a Major Investor and he told me his story. From that day I was not only motivated but became an RPAC investor myself. His words to me were, “I have benefited royally from those who have supported the profession through RPAC. It is my time to do the same.”

There are special people in our lives who never leave us, even after they are gone. May his spirit live on forever in our hearts and souls.

What a treasure we've lost. A positive light and a true leader, Morrie's legacy will live on in those he has inspired.

A few years ago, we had the honor of going down memory lane with Morrie as he looked back on his career after receiving the OKCMAR Lifetime Achievement Award. 

The Community Partners Program is a way to foster a relationship between OKCMAR REALTORS® and local officials and municipalities. When we show up and develop partnerships with local leaders, the payoff is exponential to the REALTOR® community!

Let's celebrate the start of these partnerships on Thursday, August 29th at Rococo on Penn!
