The last time we saw you before losing you, we were celebrating your cousin's wedding in Crested Butte, Colorado. We captured this photo of you, looking over your shoulder and seeming to say, “See you later.”

As we stood on that same spot in September 2023 and scattered your ashes, we felt you there, smiling over your shoulder at us.
While we are not standing in that spot today, 10 years exactly from when you ran ahead of us to heaven, we still see you looking over your shoulder at us, saying, "See you later."

We were honored to sponsor these two Sheepdogs to attend Christ in the Smokies: Mac Shefchunas and Silas Mawdesley. Thank you both for carrying on the mission of Sheepdog Connection so selflessly!

As a family, we visited almost all of the 50 states, instilling a love of country in our children. Happy 4th and God bless America!

Bitter or better? We all have choices in life. How we respond to the "tough stuff" determines the quality of our lives. Is it lemons or lemonade? Sheepdog Connection has allowed us to give purpose to our pain by pouring into the lives of young men—building men of character, honor, and faith—and helping fathers and sons build strong relationships.

Three generations of FitzGerald men in 2010.

Here at Sheepdog Connection, we seek to instill in men young and old the virtues of a Sheepdog. Virtues are inextricably tied to who we are—they are our habits, our thoughts, our behaviors, and our traits. Being protective of those around us is one way we can serve others.
