Sheldon Lee Withrow
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sheldon Lee Withrow, 20, of Lumberton, who left us far too soon on January 24, 2025. Born on January 13, 2005, in Orange, Sheldon embraced life with passion and purpose.
Sheldon had a deep love for motorcycles, finding freedom and joy in the thrill of speed and the open road. For him, riding wasn’t just a hobby, it was a way of life, a reflection of his adventurous and fearless spirit.
Sheldon worked hard with becoming an Electrician, he got his journeyman’s license and said he wanted to become a lineman.
Beyond his love of motorcycles, Sheldon’s kind and generous heart shone brightly. He found true fulfillment in helping others, always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need. His caring nature and infectious laughter left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Above all, Sheldon cherished his family, especially his role as an uncle, son , brother, and grandson. He shared an unbreakable bond with his nieces and nephews, whose lives were forever enriched by his unwavering love and boundless energy. His bright smile and joyful presence will be profoundly missed.
Survivors include his parents, Chynna and Tony Withrow; siblings, Brittany Morse; Roman Yates and his wife, Jackie Yates; Ashton Withrow; and Jaymes Withrow; his foreign exchange sisters and brothers; grandparents, Donna and Joseph Bordelon; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Sheldon is preceded in death by his mother, Danyelle Higginbotham; his Maw Maw, Cheryleita Maupin; and his Granny, Myrtle Perrio.
Sheldon’s memorial service will be 2:00 p.m., Saturday, February 8, 2025, at Pine Forest Baptist Church, 4800 North Main Street, Vidor. Sheldon’s final ride to follow will begin at 4:00 p.m., at Pine Forest Baptist Church and will conclude at 14795 Duncan Woods Lane, Vidor.

Even though we did not have the chance to meet Sheldon in person, we felt close to him, as he was like a distant brother to Lorenzo. We know how much they meant to each other and how many beautiful moments they shared.
We know that Sheldon was a wonderful person, kind and loving, especially with his nieces and nephews. His passing is a great loss, and our hearts go out to his family during this difficult time.
Sending love and support from Italy.
RIP Sheldon 🙏🙏🙏
Sheldon was just not my brother, he was a friend and a soulmate!
You could talk to him about everything!
When I needed a shoulder to cry on, he was always there!
He was carrying, loving and he loved to joke around!
He always will be in my heart and he always will be a part of me!
Sweet little Sheldon. I can remember you being so small the last time I saw I can’t believe all this is true. Watch over your brothers, nieces and nephews and guide them every step of the way they will need you
Despite the short time we shared, you truly became my brother, bound to me forever. All these miles between us, with an ocean in the middle, make it feel unreal, as this isn’t even happening. And I truly wish that were the case.
Sadly, reality is different, and I never imagined a future without you in it. It goes without saying, this was far too soon. I love you, brother, and I always will. My prayers go out to you, to your parents, Chynna and Tony, and to everyone whose life is being or will be deeply affected by your absence.
Sheldon was such an amazing kid. I was bless to know him and teach him a short time in church. He was a special kid and has always held a special place in my heart. Prayers for his family, his passing was way too soon and he will be forever missed.
To his family and friends Sheldon Withrow always going to be in our hearts… Sending out love and hugs to all people in his life …I hope your find peace… Sheldon Withrow always loved his motorcycle that was his peace 🕊️… just know you going to be missed so much we love you Sheldon. Keep watch on us down here…
