Sherrill Sloan Lewis, 85, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 with the family he dearly loved by his side. He was born in Marion County, the son of the late Solon B. Lewis and Ethel Rogers Lewis.

Sherrill lettered four years in football on the Varsity squad for the Mullins Auctioneers and was elected "Most Valuable Player" by his teammates. He was selected among outstanding football players from the Pee Dee area to play in the Tobacco Bowl in Florence. Sherrill served in the National Guard during high school and in the U.S. Army from 1953-1955. He was stationed in France for much of his service. Upon returning from his army duties, he returned to a career with Western Electric and later retired with 43 years of service. Sherrill enjoyed traveling, antique cars, Carolina Panthers football and spending time with his family and grandkids. He was a 50 year faithful member of the Asbury Sunday School Class at Pisgah United Methodist Church.
