When funeral services will take place for Morrow County deputy killed on Memorial Day
MOUNT GILEAD, Ohio (WCMH) – Funeral arrangements have been made for a Morrow County sheriff’s deputy who was shot and killed in the line of duty on Memorial Day.
Deputy Daniel “Weston” Sherrer, a 2012 St. Charles graduate, will be laid to rest Wednesday at a private ceremony at Marion Cemetery, in Marion. Visitation will take place from 1 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Northmor High School, which is between Mount Gilead and Galion.
Services to honor and celebrate Sherrer will begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the school, with former sheriff and current pastor Steve Brenneman officiating.
Sherrer was engaged to be married and is survived by his parents and other relatives.
He responded Monday night to a report of a domestic disturbance at a residence south of Marengo. A man there, Brian Wilson, confronted Sherrer, who was fatally wounded in a shootout. Wilson, facing a charge of aggravated murder, remains hospitalized and is in the custody of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.
Sherrer’s body was taken to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office before a police escort brought him back Wednesday to Mount Gilead in a 120-mile procession.
Gov. Mike DeWine has ordered flags flown at half staff until the completion of funeral services, and several local businesses have come together in support of the Sherrer family.
