Sherrill Almon Fagan, 82, of Pleasant Plains, AR, entered the gates of Heaven on Sunday, December 1, 2024. Sherrill was born on January 11, 1942, in Hillsboro, AL, to the late William Ennis Fagan and Jesse Louise (Morris) Fagan. Sherrill was of Christian faith and served the Lord as a member of Pleasant Plains First Assembly of God in Pleasant Plains. He also served the Lord from the pulpit for many years. His first love was Jesus and His gospel. He loved to witness to others and share the Word of God!

Sherrill served his country honorably in both the United States Army and the United States Navy. He was very proud of his military service and was a true patriot. Sherrill was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, cousin, pastor, and friend, and he will be dearly missed by everyone who was blessed to know and love him.
