Donald J. McSherry

1957 – 2025

It is with heartfelt sadness that the dear children and family of Donald J. McSherry announces his unfortunate passing at the age of 68 on April 4, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. Donald McSherry remained steadfast and strong throughout his battle with kidney failure but ultimately succumbed to his illnesses with the love and faith of his family by his side throughout his exhausting battle.

Donald was surrounded by his loving family in his final moments. He was a generous man with a big heart who always enjoyed and cherished every moment he had with his family. Donald's family meant the world to him, and he especially enjoyed the company of all his family members, relatives, and friends. Donald was born February 7, 1957 in St. Paul Minnesota to Patrick J McSherry and Jean A McSherry and enjoyed an exciting and eventful upbringing alongside his eight siblings.

Donald loved being around his family and friends whenever he had the opportunity to enjoy a day off, or to catch up with an old pal – small moments always meant the world to Donald, and his genuine character was always on display.

Donald is survived by his loving Wife Margarita McSherry, his Daughter Linda McSherry (Baez), Son-in-law Jesus Baez, Son Donald J. McSherry Jr., Angelina , Mason, Ezekiel, Saraya, Analisa, Harmony, Katelyn, babygirl, Desirey, Julian, Michael, Joseph, and Matthew.
