Gene was born on June 20, 1951, in Cedar Rapids, the son of William “Bill” and Dorothy (Stimson) Sherman. He attended school in Walker and Marion. He went on to be a part of Discovery Living, where they were instrumental in helping Gene live his best life possible. He also enjoyed his time spent at Camp Courageous. Gene loved Scooby Doo, dinosaurs, going to movies, his beads, superheroes, and spending time with his special friend, Vicki. He had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. Often, he would feed the ducks and birds and found great joy in flower gardens. Gene will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Gene is survived and lovingly remembered by his brothers, Kenneth (Rosie) Sherman of Blue Grass, Iowa, Richard (Kay) Sherman of Searcy, Arkansas, and Keith (Stacey) Sherman of Des Moines, Iowa; sister, Helen (Dave) Franklin of Weiser, Idaho; and numerous extended family, including nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; nephew, Brent Sherman; and sisters-in-law, Carmen Sherman and Amber Sherman.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Gene’s Discovery Living family for all the care and love shown to Gene throughout his life.
