Kenneth Sheedy Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Dierna Funeral Home - Rochester on Feb. 28, 2026.
Predeceased by parents, Mary & Joseph Sheedy, beloved dog, Bo.

Survived by children Sara (Matt) Whited and Sam Sheedy; Lifelong friend, Betsy Weinhart. Brother, John Sheedy; extended family and many friends.

Ken worked in the commercial glass industry for years owning his own business. He realized his true passion was in custom frameless showers and branched off creating his company Shower Designs Inc., where he provided many beautiful high end shower designs and installations in the Rochester area.

He was known for his positive outlook on life and carefree spirit, becoming a popular guy everywhere he went, especially the dog park. He was a passionate man with many talents, enjoying wood working and creating beautiful pieces of art. He was an amazing cook, specializing in his vodka sauce and his green thumb was top notch – often effortlessly growing the hardest of plants.

Ken cherished his dog and best friend, Bo. The last 12 years together they went on many adventures – including a road trip to California and participating in a surfing competition in Huntington Beach. Where Ken was, Bo was.

Family and friends can take comfort knowing that he is now reunited with some of his most favorite people, including his adored Uncle Frank & Aunt
