Loren Sheridan Obituary

A lifelong Californian, born in Lodi in October 1946 to Floyd James and Leona Ruth (Esmond) Sheridan, passed away peacefully at home on March 29.
He graduated from Ione High School and completed his degree at the University of the Pacific. While running a small cattle herd, Loren worked for more than a decade at Johns Manville, before embarking on a 44-year entrepreneurial journey with his wife, Kathleen (Van Ruiten) Sheridan, establishing a successful trucking agency in Stockton for Mercer Transportation in Louisville, KY.
A dedicated family man, he leaves behind his beloved wife, Kathleen, his children, Clayton, (Ciara) and Kelly, and two cherished grandchildren.
A service to honor Loren's life will be held at the Cherokee Memorial Vineyard Chapel in Lodi, CA on April 18th at 10:00 AM.
Donations in his memory may be made to Hospice of San Joaquin.

Kathye, Clayton and Kelly,
I was very saddened to hear of Loren´s passing. Life sometimes throws us a curveball or a bucking horse when we least expect. I know you have many wonderful memories to carry you all through this tough time. May god shine his light on you and give you peace.

Kind thoughts and prayers for Kathye and the Sheridan family on the loss of Loren. I'm fortunate co-worker to Loren & Kathye, and for many years their work ethic had inspired many of us to want to be "like them". His humor made things fun, and his youthful excitement of rooting "Let's Go Dodgers" will forever bring fond memories to me during baseball season...Praying for eternal rest and peace.
