Edmund Sherman

Edmund Lee Sherman, 77, passed away peacefully in the arms of his family Sept. 13, 2019, at The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center.

Edmund “Ed” was born April 20, 1942, in Billings, Montana, to Edmund and Marie Sherman. While in high school, he was voted prom king and held many state records for track. Ed was also named captain of both the football and basketball teams before graduating from Billings Central Catholic High School.

Ed was a U.S. Army veteran, proudly serving in Germany for a few years. After arriving back in the states, he met up with his longtime friend Sandra Hardy. The two married in 1968 and had four daughters: Stacey, Terra, Melanie, and Marlo.

Ed owned a landscaping business with his father for many years. He and Sandra relocated to Gillette, Wyoming, where he started his career as a coal miner. He was given the nickname “Fast Eddie” by his co-workers due to his incredible work ethic. He retired from coal mining in 2007 and focused on his love of gardening and also spending time with all of his grandchildren.

After battling pulmonary and vascular issues as well as lung cancer, he was called home to be with his parents.

Ed will be remembered for his teasing jokes, his wildly entertaining stories, his generous smile, his ornery sense of humor, and his willingness to help anyone out.

He is proceeded in death by his parents Edmund and Marie Sherman and siblings Jim Sherman, Bruce Sherman, and Melody Reighard.

He is survived by siblings Harry Sherman, Joe Sherman, and Judy Sherman, ex-wife Sandra Sherman, daughters Stacey Cingoranelli, Terra (Doug) Evans, Melanie Sherman, and Marlo (Zack) Dunham, grandchildren Savannah Cingoranelli, Katalina Cingoranelli, Sophia Cingoranelli, Jordan Evans, Ashtyn Evans, Stephany Cavazos, Tayler Cavazos, Alexander Cavazos, Adyson Harman, Austin Dunham, and Brooke Dunham.

The family wishes to thank the staff of The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center who cared for him for the past two years, especially those that were there by his side the last couple weeks of his life, passionately taking care of him.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Ed’s life Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Chapel. Immediately following, the celebration will continue at Gillette Brewing Company.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made in Ed’s name to benefit The Legacy by purchasing Christmas gifts for residences.
