Mark Paul Sherman died Tuesday, November 12th, 2019. He was born August 1, 1956 in Omaha, NE to Carl and Carole (McDonald) Sherman. As a child his family moved around the Midwest and Northeast before settling back in Omaha. He joined the US Marine Corps in 1976 and was honorably discharged in 1980. After proudly serving his country, he moved to Kansas City, MO where he met his former wife and raised his family while working as an engine and auto mechanic for Arrow Material Handling, Sears Auto Center and Goodyear.
