To my brother,

I love you and miss you so much. It is hard for me in the mornings with no one to talk to.

We had many great memories together. You were a loving and giving person. I don't think I will ever be able to fill your shoes the way you did with your kids. I will make sure they never forget what a great Father they had. I will make sure if they ever need something they can come to there Uncle.



You will always be in my heart.


I love you always

Dear Howa Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss! Sherid was one of my older brother (Cole) best friends when we were younger. Sherid, you are missed.

Debbie (Martin) Ralston

To Sherid's parents and family:
I was so sorry to hear about Sherid's passing. Sherid was a favorite of mine among my son, Cole Geyer's, teenage friends. He was a such a good boy and a special person. Sherid spent time at my house when we lived in West Valley and was always respectful and polite - I remember his sweet, shy smile! And although I never met his family, I could tell that he that he had been raised in an atmosphere of love. I cannot imagine such a loss.

My heartfelt sympathies and love to you all in this time of sorrow.

Dearest Howa Family,

We love every one of you so much. We love Sherid like a brother and friend. He is so very special to us and always will be. May you have comfort and peace during this very difficult time.

We will always have wonderful memories of our great times with Sherid. He's my personal hero for always unlocking me out of my house and not making me feel embarrassed about it. Marv always considered Sherid a cherished friend who he cared about tremendously. Wil and Lessi thought of Sherid as a fun older brother who was always so nice to them.

We thank you all for sharing your family with us. We are heart broken with the loss of Sherid.

Love, the Camerons (always your Neighbors)
