Donald Sherfinski

02/01/1946 - 11/14/2025

Donald Thomas Sherfinski, age 79, went to be with the Lord on November 14, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on February 1, 1946, in Muskegon, Michigan, to his parents, the late Herman and Rose Sherfinski.
Donald is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Rebecca; his children, Christa (Andrew) Steadman, Laura (Robert) Lerma, David (Jessica) Sherfinski, and Patrick (Shaunna) Sherfinski; 10 cherished grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren; his siblings, Christine Medearis of Tennessee, Pauline Kerr of Washington, James (Glenda) Sherfinski of Texas, Darlene Hathaway of Grand Rapids, Bernadine Whitcomb of Wolverine, Georgene Harkness of Colorado, and Val (Marge) Sherfinski of Florida; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
An avid outdoorsman, Donald found great joy in hunting and fishing. He had a wonderfully quirky sense of humor and a gift for storytelling that brought laughter and warmth to all who knew him. He was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus and honorably served his country in the United States Army, stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War.
Donald deeply loved his family, especially his grandchildren, and treasured time spent playing games, particularly euchre. He dedicated his life to serving others, guided by his strong faith and love for Jesus. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to his faith were evident in all he did.
The family will receive friends for visitation on Thursday, November 20, 2025, St John the Evangelist Catholic Church from 10:00 AM until the time of the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM, with Fr. Randy Koenigsknecht officiating. Cremation will follow, and interment will take place at St. John Catholic Cemetery.
