Sherman Ward Obituary
Beloved brother survived by siblings Wayman Buchanan, Leroy Ward, Frances Bailey, Patricia Brown, L'Tanya Brabham and Joyce Dunn. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother Versie Buchanan and stepfather Don Buchanan. Sherman was blessed to have many wonderful nieces and nephews that he acted as daddy and uncle to. They gave him much joy, love and pride, and he was adored by each and everyone of them.
Sherman graduated from North Division High School in 1965. Sherman was an entrepreneur with many businesses he owned in Milwaukee such as a beauty supply store, rental properties and more. Sherman moved to Tacoma, WA in 2008 where he lived until he succumbed to his longtime illness peacefully.
A private graveside service will be held at Rest in Peace Cemetery in Little Rock, AR. Due to the recent pandemic, a celebration and time of remembrance of Sherman's life will be held at a future date.

My brother Sherman was the best brother a girl could have. When we were in high school, he had a separate phone line put in our room and paid for it so we could talk to our friends for as long as we wanted; he bought us clothes and shoes that he thought would look perfect on us (and he had good taste); he let me drive his new cars; whenever we got together for family gatherings, he would set it out with whatever was needed; he bought our kids toys and clothes that he thought they would like; he took them to concerts! And later in life when he could no longer afford to do those things, he talked about winning the lottery so he could give his nieces and nephews whatever they wanted! And he held the family together when our parents passed on before us! I will truly miss his loving spirit!! REST IN HEAVEN SHERMY!!!
