Mark A. Sherwood
Mark A. Sherwood, 61, of Kansas City Missouri passed away June 16, 2022, surrounded by family. He was born June 1st, 1961, to Alma and Bud Sherwood. He was a permanent resident of Kansas City Mo and worked at Surface Technology as a wood worker for over 25 years. He was preceded in death by his mother, his father, his eldest brother Rick Polley, and many life-long friends.
Mark was an exceptional craftsman always making wood puzzles or wire figures. He enjoyed reading books and watching movies. He was a man of few words until it came to crossword puzzles and playing scrabble. He enjoyed solving brain teasers and was fascinated with collecting and throwing knives.
He always looked forward to his yearly canoe trip with family and friends. The stories that could be told from those adventures could entertain others for hours.
He leaves behind his wife and best friend, Necie Sherwood, four children, Jessica Sherwood, Rebecca Wilburn, Mickie Caldarella and Jay Caldarella. He was affectionately known as Poppy by twelve grandchildren, Rebekah, Toby, April, Naomi, Marcus, Mason, Ellie, Allie Jo, Gage, Serena Ann, Zoe, and Johnny 5. He was looking forward to the birth of his first great grandchild later this year.
He was the third of six children; Rick, Sherry, Mark, Diane, Elaine and Donald aka ‘The Fuller Crew’ and he was an originating member of the Hoptorians who knew him as Gunk.
A memorial service will be held Sunday June 26th from 11 to 1 pm at the main shelter house in McCoy Park located at 24 Highway and North Spring in Independence, Missouri.
