Sherman attended Bladen Central School in Tar Heel, North Carolina. “Pig” as he was often called was a hardworking man who dedicated over a decade of his life to Barnhill construction where he later retired. Known for his skills as a handyman, he found joy in fixing things and lending a helping hand to those around him. His kindness and generosity made him a pillar of strength for his family. A true backbone who could always be counted on.

Sherman also had a nurse Timothy Wright who wholeheartedly tended him in his time of need. He will  be deeply missed by all who knew him. Sherman’s legacy of hard work and kindness will live on in the  hearts of those he touched.
