Matthew Shepard Laid To Rest At National Cathedral 20 Years After His Murder | NBC Nightly News
Rest in Peace my child. Your journey has come to its end. Welcome home Matthew.
He was a drug dealer.
to those who killed this kid, they will rot in prison for eternity.
Laid to rest in Washington National Cathedral means he will never be forgotten.
It also means that he will finally be safe
so let's assume it was because of a drug deal. Is using someone's sexuality as justification of his murder justified?
I remember hearing about this boy when I was in school, he’s never been far from my thoughts. rest in peace.
@Long Range Rifle There was no drug deal. The Stephen Jimenez book was poorly sourced by not distinguishing which quotations are manufactured from recollections, which are paraphrases recounted by sources, and which were spoken directly to the author. Most of the sources remained suspect or otherwise unsubstantiated. The author never qualifies how credible the sources are, or validates their closeness to Shepard, or evaluates the potential motivations for their accounts. Some police officials interviewed after Jimenez's book's publication disputed certain claims made in the book. Dave O'Malley, the Laramie police commander over the investigations division at the time of Shepard's murder, said Jimenez's claim that Shepard was "a methamphetamine kingpin is almost humorous. Someone that would buy into that certainly would believe almost anything they read." Rob Debree, lead sheriff's investigator at the time, said the book contains "factual errors and lies", and deemed Jimenez's claim that Shepard was a drug dealer "truly laughable".
What was his name again?
Shame on Matthew's attackers. Rest in Peace, Matthew.
@Long Range Rifle STFU liar
@Long Range Rifle Floppy-Ears Henderson didn't need Meth to make him ugly or the sissy that he was?
Long Range Rifle You are a fake news addict and a waste of skin....do the world a favour eh, love!
@Long Range Rifle thats not true
I remember when this happened. I was about 10. I remember my mom telling me about it and felt scared because he just died for being himself. RIP Matthew 💖. Your story has stuck with me from when i was a child to adulthood. It is one of the reasons i am the way i am, and do my very best to accept people for who they are and don't pass judgment on them.
I was 6 years old when this happened,and it was 10 years old when the film the Matthew shephard story 2002 was filmed.i was introduced to Matthew in 2020.
This is pure leftist propaganda.
Matthew was a drug addict and dealer who was killed for ripping off other drug dealers.
His death has saved so many people, and will continue to do so. Mr Shepard is rightfully given this respect.
Dear parents of Matt, thank you for your strenght perseverance in your actions for equal rights for all❣ Dear Matthew, rest in peace, in eternal light 🕯 and love, in this Cathedral, in the knowledge that WORLDWIDE, you'll never be forgotten! 🌈 Love will conquer hate and death, forever❣☀ In loving memory and in/ with kind sympathy to parents Shepard, from the Netherlands.
God rest the soul of Mathew Shephard.As a Christian I have nothing but simply love and respect for Matthew and his family.Everyone, love you and God loves you.
I'm an atheist.... But I still have respect for the dead. Rip Matthew. Welcome home.
@@elijahedwards2432 yeah that I don't get. There's a catch maybe...
KainetheWusky I just want to say first that I think it’s horrible what happened to him, and I also respect your views as an atheist. I don’t know what you mean by “maybe there’s a catch”, but the Bible says, homosexuals won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven. God is very strict about homosexuality, that is why he destroyed sodom and gamorrah.
Elijah Edwards Matt.7. [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Don't quote scripture when you don't know what it means.
Finally. May he rest in peace.
Matthew would have been 44 yo this year...RIP
God bless his family. Rest In Peace Matthew.
22 years ago today, a beautiful light was laid to rest. His impact will continue. We will keep taking a stand against intolerance and hatred! 💖
I will never forget when I first heard about what happened to Matthew. 💔 I'm so glad to know that his parents are continuing to carry his legacy. May Matthew continue to rest in peace. 🙏🏾
H4e was a drug dealer, he was killed by a homosexual lover he ripped off. LOL.
His death was not in vane. It helped change the laws.
Remember, " Only the good die young".
Rest in Peace Matt. He really made a lasting contribution to humanity.
Rest in peace, Matt. You are well looked over and I'm sure you're looking over others. God Bless.
RIP MATTHEW. You are a Shepard of GOD
This was indeed an honor for this young man and his family. His parents have done so much good in over 20 years with "The Matthew Shepard Foundation".
R.I.P. Matthew Shepherd. You will be missed dearly. 😔❤🙏🏼
Rest peacefully Matthew ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
"Is is hard?" What kind of question is that?
Good question
"If You hate Matthew, Don't post your hate on here!!! haters should have a taste of what Matt went through!!!! I love you Matthew...Rip!!!
Loooove how his dad stated HATTER'S
Matthew you are beautiful. Rest in peace angel. From someone who never knew you but was incredibly moved by your story. I will forever have a place for you in my heart. Sleep tight baby. XX
You should really look into his _actual_ story. The real reason for his death is even worse.
@@CandiceGoddardThe drug deal story's a myth. Guess again.
It's because of Matthew that I'm alive today I truly believe My Housing is 80% payed for by His Foundation ..and His
The foundation I know go's to Lunches for the Homeless across the country ....I do cry for Matthew cause like him at one time I too was Color Blind and Just Aseapted people for face value ...Matthew Shepard is a Hero and one of my Gardein Angels
My Mom cried all morning the dat it came out in the papers about his beating. And that was only the second time I had seen her cry in my life.
So happy Matthew is laid to rest at the Cathedral. RIP Matthew!!!
REST IN PEACE MATT YOU AER HOME NOW
Awesome to have Matthew Shepard in this Church. Prayers for his soul, his family and the hateful people.

I don't understand why people have to be so evil 😢
You are forever missed Matthew...you didn't deserve to die...
Rest in peace young man
Very sad story. Rip Matthew
RIP Matthew...God Bless.
What an amazing perfect resting place for this 😇. So beautiful.
An innocent child that was a victim of a hate crime by some religious psychopaths. Exo 20:13. RIP Matthew 🙏🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was killed by one of his ex boyfriends. The guy who killed him was a drug dealer who had focked Mathew before.
Made me cry...rip matt
HE'S A SAINT ! AND THE WORLD SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT HE WAS MARTYRED LIKE THE LORD !
Okay you need to bring it back down a notch he's not anyone's martyr but your's apparently. It's argubly doubtful that Shepherd was murdered solely on the basis of his orientation or wether it played a role at ll. He's not Jesus and hadn't been sacrificed for the sins of all off humanity.
@@jamesjackson1295 what
he was a drug dealer, this is a media hoax, he was tortured and killed so he'd tell where his drug stash was.
If I could leave flowers I would've if he had a grave to visit.
Do you still feel the same way? Or are you a homophobe now, like most women in the year 2022?
he has offered a national contribution
He was truly inspiration. ❤❤❤
0:15 just for people who didn't know how and wow
What's sad is the same hate that existed then still exist today
Now there is a true Christian Church!
Sad
May you rest in peace 🙏
Yes, I do consider mathew Shepherd a saint. His martyrdom was an instrument that GOD used for his purpose. We are all better off because of Mathew.
He is far from being anywhere near sainthood.
A thumbs down? Really? SMH
I hate people.
0:16 just in case
he has been safe at the realm he went to, where there is no space for hatred... the church is to blame for homophobia too.
Rest in peace, Matthew 💔 Today marks the 25th anniversary of his departure and we're still far away from achieving equality.
This saddens me and breaks my heart. Hope the world heals! 🙏
My heart 😭❤😭❤😭
🙏 RIP
❤❤
💚💛💔
High becca V Jones
😢😢🙏🙏🙏🏳️🌈
Obama kissing Matt's mother on the cheek....omg. I miss when we had a leader in office who had morals, a heart and compassion.
They're so right. One's Trump came all the haters followed
Wow this was nice then you had to slip in that propaganda at the end 🙄
Matthew Shepard was not killed over his sexuality
Except he was
Nope, my ex wife knew the guy and he was the farthest thing from a saint. .
Rubbish. The drug deal story's a myth.
@@DotMcFarlaneit’s not it’s a fact, he was sexually involved with his killer, who I think deserved the death penalty. The truth doesn’t take anything away from him and the impact he had.
Rest in peace Matt!!((Sorry i have to say this but Matt was targeted for DRUGS!!!He knew the two guys the media blew this up more then what it was.))Judy is getting PAID FOR THIS..
Defiling a house of worship.
Romans 15:7 - "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."
There you go you Hypocrite.
@@ThatLadyDray Accepting one another does not mean encouraging their sin and fall away from Christ or defiling the house of the lord. "Go and sin no more". I would suggest you keep reading. Jesus lifted people up he didn't stay down slumming in their sins with them
@@kristy3539 too bad that YOU missed that boat.
Terrible. I'm a Christian and it is not for us to say if this man is truly with God. Would you dare ever tell a heterosexual adulterer he should not be buried in consecrated earth? Why, when he has also committed a sexual sin?
Matt.7. [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
What great parents. Great human beings.
May his memory be a blessing ❤
Rest in peace
