Richard Sherrard Obituary

February 19, 1945 - October 1, 2025

Loving husband and father

Lifelong resident of Stillwater, MN, and a 3M employee for 37 years.

Preceded in death by wife, Diana (Dee Dee) Sherrard; parents, Sydney (Georgia) and Caroline Sherrard.

He will be missed by both family and many friends, including his son, Rick and wife Amy; their children, Ben (Hannah), Tanya, Nadya, Matthew, and Emily; his daughter, Kim and husband Bill; their children, Billy (Alex Galvez), Charlie, and Jack; brother, Roger (Evelyn) Sherrard; and sister, Carol Meech.

Dick's passion and love were his classic trucks. He would switch driving between his beloved 1956 F-100 or 1937 Ford Pickup. He loved attending any and every car show where he spent hours "bench racing" with his many friends. Dick was a long-time member of the Twin City F-100 club where he volunteered countless hours.

If you weren't his friend, it is only because he had not met you yet!

A celebration of Dick's life will be at noon on October 13, 2025 at Bradshaw Celebration of Life Center, 2800 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, with a gathering of family and friends beginning at 10:00 a.m. Guests are invited to process in their hot rods and classic cars to the interment at Fairview Cemetery following the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the donor's choice.
