Albert “Al” Thomas Sherrill
June 12, 1956 – October 9, 2025
Albert “Al” Thomas Sherrill, age 69, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, October 9, 2025. He was born in Livorno, Italy on June 12, 1956 to Samuel and Anna Sherrill.
Al was a proud U.S. Army veteran, serving for 22 years and retiring with the rank of Master Sergeant. Following his military career, Al continued serving his country as an information technology professional with the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Though we grieve his passing, we rejoice in knowing Al is now fully healed and embraced by the Savior he trusted so deeply. Heaven has welcomed a faithful servant, and we are forever grateful to have walked this life with him.
Al was known for his quiet strength, unwavering kindness, and deep compassion. He had a servant’s heart and lived out his faith daily—not only in words, but through the countless ways he showed up for others. Whether it was a calm presence in difficult moments, a kind word, or a helping hand, Al embodied the love of Christ in all he did.
He was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and a true friend to all who knew him. Al had a deep appreciation for the beauty of the outdoors. He found joy in hiking, camping, grilling, and sharing cold beers and meaningful conversation with family and friends.
Al was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, James Sherrill. He is survived by his beloved wife and soulmate, Lynette; his son, Steve Sherrill; grandson, Atticus O’Quinn; and his loyal dog, Nutmeg. He is also survived by his father-in-law, Raymond Schrader; sisters-in-law Jackalyn Schrader and Patricia Roseland (and husband Samuel); nephews Trenton Brown (and wife Angel), Brandon Booth (and wife Clarissa), and Lane Booth; and nieces Taylor Bledsoe (and husband Joseph), and Morgan Langlais.
A visitation will be held on Monday, October 27, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM followed by a memorial service at 12:00 PM at Lux Funeral Home. Interment with military honors by the U.S. Army will take place at 2:30 PM at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery.
In honor of Al’s life of faith and service, donations can be made in lieu of flowers to Options for Life or T Bar M Camps.
Al’s legacy of love, service, and faith will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Throughout my life, there are only three people’s names I’ve thought of when I’ve ever asked myself the following question:
What would Al do?
May his memories always be a blessing.
Al and Lynette stood beside me during the most difficult time in my life. I am forever grateful for their kindness and generosity. Al was an amazing grandfather to my son Atticus. He will be greatly missed and in my prayers.
So sorry to hear of Al’s passing, our condolences.
My condolences to you, Lynette. We have been praying for Al since Kelly told us he was sick. We will continue to pray for you during this time of grief. Norma Franklin, Atticus and Kelly’s Aunt
May God Bless Ms Sherrill on her loss. Mr Sherill was a wonderful co worker.

I am so sorry for your immeasurable loss Lynette. May God provide you grace and comfort through this painful journey.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Al was an incredible guy and will truly be missed. My sincerest condolences.
I’m so sorry to hear of Al’s passing. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Al was always calm and steady and genuinely great person. He will be missed. I pray for peace and comfort.
Lynette, I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Al was a truly kind and wonderful man, and he will be missed by all who knew him. We cherish the many warm memories of time spent with you both in Round Rock and New Braunfels. Please know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.
Al was a man of integrity and deep faith. A gentleman’s gentleman. He will be deeply missed.
Lynette, Tim and I are both saddened by the passing of Al. He was such a wonderful person, loved by so many. We both have great memories of fun times with the two of you. We pray moving forward that the Lord helps you during these difficult days ahead and may Al RIP. 🙏

Lynnette, we are praying for you. May Jesus’ presence be your comfort. Sending our love to you.
Lynette…I do not have the words to truly say how sorry I am to learn of Al’s passing. He was such a good friend. He had a way of always saying exactly what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it…without any context whatsoever…like a quiet, wise preacher.
I have missed him the last year or so and will always miss him.
You and your family are in my prayers always.

Lynette, I was shocked and saddened to learn from another old VAer that Al had passed. I remember you both, very fondly and your dedication to the VA. It’s sort of funny, you 2 always made me smile. May God bless you both and your family. Jennifer S Duncan, retired 2009.
I’m so sad to hear about Al’s passing. We all admired and respected Al in OPRD, he was an excellent boss to work for and he treated everyone with dignity and respect. I send my deepest condolences to his wife Lynette, his family and all who had the privilege to work with and for him. He will be greatly missed!
So sorry for your loss, I’ve know Mr. Al since I was a teenager and appreciate his 22 year service to our country. Therefore it needs to be noted that he retired with the rank of E-9, Command Sergeant Major, not E-7. Therefore it is a very prestigious rank and represents the highest position that a Non Commisioned Officer can achieve. Thankful for men, like him, who serve their country selflessly.
“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”
My deepest condolences to Lynette and Al’s family. Al was a dedicated VA colleague and a pleasure to work with. I enjoyed our time together. RIP, my friend.
