Friends of the late Larry V. Sherrill, who passed away in August 2025 at age 58, have established the Larry V. Sherrill Memorial Endowment Scholarship at Roane State Community College. This will be a permanent scholarship. Once the endowment reaches $25,000, it will fund one Criminal Justice student every single year — forever. And if more than the minimum is raised, it opens the possibility of awarding more than one scholarship in the future.
Larry Sherrill was a husband, father and a public servant. He was as a police officer and investigator before serving 20 years as Cumberland County’s Circuit Court Clerk. As a man of faith who loved the Lord, Larry believed in fairness and second chances.
This scholarship honors Larry Sherrill’s legacy of giving back by helping students pursue their dreams in the field he cared so deeply about.
Every contribution, even $5 or $10, will help reach the scholarship goal. And please tell others about the Larry V. Sherrill Memorial Endowment Scholarship at Roane State Community College.
