ALAN TERRY SHERMAN
Alan Terry Sherman, 76, of Las Vegas, passed away Thursday, July 4, 2024. Alan was born October 24, 1947, in Atlantic City, NJ to Rose (nee Klein) and David Sherman and has been a Southern Nevada resident for 43 years. When he was diagnosed with diabetes in his 40's, Alan researched everything he could about the disease. Becoming a member of the Nevada Diabetes Association, he spent many years sitting on the Board of Directors as well as serving as Board President from 2014-2018. For 29 years, he volunteered as a camp counselor for Camp Buck, formally Camp Nevada, for kids with Type 1 diabetes. Camp was the highlight of his summer. He loved seeing the kids, year after year, grow-up and become counselors and even board members. When not volunteering for NDA, he was volunteering as a basketball coach for the YMCA, NYS, I9 sports, and the Boys and Girls Club. Sports were his life. He enjoyed watching basketball, football, hockey, and baseball; all Philly teams, of course, with Las Vegas college and pro teams thrown in. Nothing though compared for the love he had for his two daughters, or his girls, as he called them. He was a devoted father who attended every basketball game, dance performance, and orchestra concert his daughters were involved in. And he tried his best, these past few years to attend every basketball game his Grandson, Jaydn, played in. His absence will be missed by so many. He was predeceased by his parents and survived by his wife, Susan (nee Barnett) Sherman; two daughters Cindi Sherman-Sinnott (Annie) and Caryn Sherman; sister, Joyce Sherman-Nelson (Jim); and two grandchildren, Eli Sinnott and Jaydn Sherman. Services will be at 1:30pm Tue., July 9, at King David Memorial Chapel, 2697 E. Eldorado Ln, Las Vegas, NV. A committal service will immediately follow at Palm Valley View Cemetery, 7600 S. Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV. Family requests that memorial donations be made to the NSPCA or Nevada Diabetes Association. King David Memorial Chapel handled the arrangements.

Plant a tree: How does it work
When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.
An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.
Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
