Donald Sherrick Roadman, 75 of Latrobe, passed away peacefully at 5:55 pm Wednesday, March 20, 2019 under the care of Heartland Hospice. He lived for the last 8 years at The Grove of Latrobe on Fred Rogers Drive. Donald was born March 21, 1943 in Latrobe, a son of the late Donald W. and Lillian (Swank) Roadman, who passed away in July, 1995 and December, 1999 respectively. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Betty Jones of Everson in October, 2017.

Donald grew up on a farm near Lycippus and attended the Western PA School for the Deaf in Edgewood. He loved animals and raised rabbits as a hobby. He also loved hunting and fishing and enjoyed going to Possum Hollow Gun Club in Whitney with his Father for a cold Pepsi. One memory he hated was one of the roosters on the farm, he was glad when it was butchered and was happy to have it as a meal when it was ready! Donald pulled a lot of tricks while growing up. When he was 3 or 4, he climbed up on top of the barn roof after his Grandpap Roadman, who was fixing the roof at the time! He also worked for many years as a laborer for Latrobe Construction.

Donald will be sadly missed by all of his loving family; his three sisters, Nancy Jones of Scottdale, Faye Suhan of Alverton, and Patty Swank of Smithton; his two uncles, Bill Swank of Kingview and Albert Swank of Dunbar; many nieces and nephews; and his special niece, Kathy Schmuck of Scottdale, who was his loving guardian and helped him with all his needs.
