Shey William Feherty's Obituary
On July 29, 1988 Shey William Feherty entered this world, the light of his Mom and Dad’s universe. On July 29, 2017, his 29th birthday, Shey’s earthly light was extinguished and his heavenly light was born to shine forevermore. A service will be held 12 p.m., Tuesday, August 1, 2017 at Restland Abbey Chapel, with visitation starting at 11 a.m. Shey was our beautiful and charismatic son and brother. He was the eldest of the two biological children of Caroline DeWit Feherty and David Feherty. Rory arrived 4 years later. Shey, was step-son to Anita, half-brother to Erin and step-brother to Fred and Karl Schneider. His beautiful blue eyes could captivate a room, but they could not stare down the enemy that lurked in the shadows and prevent it from reaching out to grab him in his darkest time. Shey, fought hard to win his battles with drug addiction and mental illness, but in the end the monsters won. The worry we felt watching Shey’s struggle with his addiction has now been replaced by a feeling of loss so deep, knowing we will never see his smiling face or beautiful eyes again. But through our heartbreak we share Shey’s story in the hope that it will touch another person who may battle with addiction either for themselves or for a loved one. Please know there is no shame in asking for help. Our Shey is gone from us now, but you can help us keep his light shining and focused if you reach out to another who suffers. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Center for Addiction and Recovery Studies (CARS) 6363 Forest Park Road Bass Level A 226 Dallas, TX 75235
