Sherman graduated from Abilene High School and then attended college but was drafted to the military. He proudly served in the United States Army. Sherman enjoyed his life outdoors especially in the rodeo arenas as a Team Roper. He was employed with the Texas Prison System for twenty plus years. He was employed as an inspector with Energy Transfer where he retired. Always with a drive to keep occupied he joined the team, following retirement, at Elliot Ford in Navasota.
