Henry Sherman Mauck, Jr. (known as Sherman) was born September 21, 1962, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Henry S. Mauck and Esther (Nicks) Mauck.  He passed away on September 6, 2025, at North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, Colorado, of complications from Multiple Sclerosis, at the age of 62.

Sherman grew up in Simla and Niwot, graduating from Niwot High School, and then graduated from
Colorado State University with a Master's Degree in Animal Science and Reproductive Physiology.  He was in the Honors program, a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, and the CSU Meats Judging team.

He met his wife, Jodi, through AGR while at CSU, and they married in 1984.  They had 2 sons, Jared, and Evan.

Sherman and Jodi initially lived near Bristol in SE Colorado while working for CSU Extension, and he transferred to Sterling in 1990.  About 5 years later he worked for Smart Brothers near Atwood and thoroughly enjoyed farming and feeding cattle.  He later worked for South Platte Vet Supply until a hip replacement and MS caused early retirement in 2018.

When he was physically able, Sherman loved spending time in the mountains fishing for brook trout, and hunting elk with his dad, uncle, and others.  He enjoyed fall deer hunting with his dad and family. He passed that love of hunting, fishing, and the outdoors to his son, Jared, and loved to hear about Jared's and others' hunting adventures. Raising sheep, cattle, and Boer goats were his favorites.

He was preceded in death by his parents, son Evan, sister JoAnn Bostic, brother-in-law Darrel Conway, and infant brother Johnny.

Sherman is survived by his wife, Jodi, son Jared (Kristah) and Baby Mauck due in February, sister Susan Conway, sister Janet Nienhuser (James), and 8 nieces and nephews, and 8 greats.
