MADISON - Kenneth C. Sherman, age 83, of Madison, passed away on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at Agrace HospiceCare. He was born on November 13, 1941, in Columbus, the son of Maude (Cloute) Sherman.

Kenneth graduated from Columbus High School in 1960 and attended UW-Madison. He worked for Oscar Mayer for many years, retiring in 1999.

Kenneth had been a Boy Scout leader and loved being outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, woodworking and camping on the Boundary Waters and Crystal Lake. He spent his free time participating in archery leagues, gardening, photography and was a fish hobbyist finding tranquility in watching the fish swim in his tanks. Above all, he loved spending time with his family. Although he had five children, he was like a father to so many more.
