WOOSTER – John B. Sherrick, age 53, passed away on Sunday, May 5th 2019.
John was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend. He was a graduate of Kent State University, where he received his Bachelors of Science in Applied Mathematics and Pure Mathematics in 1988. He began working for the City of Wooster in 1990, first for the maintenance department, before finding his true calling as a Wooster City Firefighter and Paramedic, where he served his community for over 25 years, from 1991 through his retirement in 2016. John played an integral part in bringing paramedic services to the Wooster Fire Department, and during his tenure he served on the Fire Investigation unit.
In his spare time John was an avid golfer, and could often be found on the green trying to stay under par with his closest friends. He also enjoyed spending time outdoors, and would take annual trips to Canada to decompress through fishing and camping while surrounded by friends and by nature. His intellect and skill were only outdone by the immensity of his heart and his generosity. John could always be called upon to help a friend in need, whether it be building a house, helping someone move, or any other assistance he could provide.
He had done volunteer work for the Wayne County Dog Shelter and made homemade jerky and gravy for the shelter animals that struggled to eat.
John was preceded in death by his father, Ralph Sherrick. He is survived by his mother, Judith Sherrick, his brother Michael Sherrick (Kailey Sherrick), and his nephew Emory Rufus Sherrick.
