CONCORD- Frederick Orville Sherer, age 80, passed away peacefully in his home on Monday, December 5th 2022.
He was born February 8, 1942 in Grants Pass, Oregon. He was preceded in death by his parents Harvey and Julia Sherer, his wife Marion and his brother Leroy. Fred proudly served in the U.S. Navy for 4 years. He married Marion McKinney on August 23rd 1969 in Kentucky, and eventually moved to Concord, NC in 1982 where they raised their three children Cindy Wilson, Marie McGrady, and Donnie Sherer.
Fred lived his life to the fullest as a strong-willed man who admired all of God's creations and found joy in his many hobbies. Whether he was on the water in his boat reeling for his next tournament winning fish, or at the bowling alley going for another perfect 300 game, Fred excelled in all he put his mind to. He will be remembered for being an honorable husband, father, Paw Paw, and friend. In lieu of a service, Fred will be reunited with the love of his life, his wife Marion, in Lexington Kentucky this spring.
Fred and Marion are survived by their children, 12 grandchildren, and their great grandchildren.
Donations can be made in his remembrance to Hospice and Palliative Care of Cabarrus County, who generously cared for him til he passed.
