Sherman Albert Timmons Jr.

Sherman was born on May 1, 1925 in Perry, Oklahoma to Sherman and Josephine Timmons. He attended high school in Perry, Oklahoma where he met the love of his life, Sybil Harshaw. During World War 2, he moved to Oregon so that he could work in the shipyards. Sherman and Sybil were married on July 27, 1945 in Vancouver, Washington.

Sherman’s love for cars began at a young age. He continued to be a car enthusiast for the rest of his life, and frequently talked about many cars that he had owned. He took great pride in his yard and home, and could often be found doing yard work. He was very friendly with his neighbors and was always available to lend a helping hand. He also had a soft spot for the homeless cats in his neighborhood.

Sherman was preceded in death by his wife Sybil and his daughter Cathy Rossetto. He is survived by his son Bruce Timmons, daughter-in-law Jeanette Timmons and 3 granddaughters: Aimee Reman, Emilee DeLuca, and Chloee Timmons, along with their spouses David Reman, and Trevor DeLuca as well as his son-in-law, Richard Rossetto.

A celebration of Sherman’s life will be held at 11am on Saturday, November 4 at Bateman Carroll Funeral Home located at 520 W. Powell Blvd. in Gresham, Oregon. The family will be wearing plaid in honor of Sherman, and welcome others to do the same!

Donations may be made in his memory to the Oregon Humane Society.
