Golden Funeral Home - October 2018
ROBERT EUGENE SHERWOOD


“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount
up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and
not faint.”  Isaiah 40:31
Robert Eugene “Bob” Sherwood was renewed of strength following a valiant display
of faith, courage and fortitude, as he was called home to the Lord on October 9,
2018. He is preceded in death by his mother, Lester Octavia Montgomery Sherwood;
father, Norman Winfred Sherwood, and younger brother, Norman Dwayne "Bo"
Sherwood (Donna). He is survived by his wife of nearly 59 years, Margaret
Kellick Sherwood; sister, Shirley Sherwood Kellick (JC); daughter, Gwendolyn
Sherwood Fields (Carroll Fields); daughter Tammy Sherwood Guerrero (Benny
Guerrero); 6 grandchildren, one great grandchild and many friends. Born December
14, 1939, in Caruthersville, Missouri, Bob began life as he lived it, with a
kind and jovial spirit and a twinkle in his eye. He, like his fathers before
him, was a farmer, whose drive, ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit led to many
successful endeavors throughout his life, including multiple accolades and
awards as a top crop insurance agent and the creation of various agrarian
businesses which at one time included his own seed, chemical and fertilizer
company; restaurant; trucking; farming; cattle and crop insurance agency. Each
dream was realized and every success accomplished, as was everything he did in
life, side by side with his one true love since high school, his lovely wife
Margaret. Though he worked for and achieved much in business, nothing surpassed
the importance of his faith or the immense love he held for his family. He had a
gift with horses and a great fondness for spending time with his daughters and
grandchildren in their equestrian pursuits. He loved people and their unique
stories, and never met a stranger; always a witty and jocular comment, kind word
and affable smile at the ready. His beautifully warm and loving nature left no
room for doubt among his family that they were both prioritized and loved
unconditionally by this charismatic man with an almost too big heart. His legacy
is a beautiful testament of faith, family, perseverance, and most of all, of love. 
Serving the family as pallbearers will be Ty Rogers, Randy Kellick, Nicky
Kellick, Robert Benton, Jody Higgins, Dean Helmer and McClendon Sharp.
Honorary pallbearers are Bill Anderson, Paul Pace, Sr., Larry Tubbs and John
Walters.
Funeral services will be held10 AM Saturday at Bonne Idee Assembly with Bro.
Jerry Stuckey officiating. Interment will follow in Red Wing Cemetery. 
The family will receive friends Friday from 5 PM until 7 PM at Golden Funeral Home.
