Obituary: Gerald "Jerry" Sheehan of Shelton

SHELTON, CT - (From Gregory F. Doyle Funeral Home) Gerald Sheehan, always known as Jerry, was the rock of his family.

He passed away on March 1, 2021 with his family by his side.

Jerry did not experience good health for most of his life, but he shared his life fully with kindness, humor, and wisdom with so many of us.

Jer always had time to talk with all of us and offer down to earth guidance.

He donated to many charities faithfully, and truly cared about those in need and did what he could to help them.

Although he could not speak of it for a good part of his adult life, he was a decorated Vietnam War Veteran.

He touch our lives deeply for the better and will be missed by how he could make you smile and laugh.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project and Saint Raphael Parish’s Case Management team in Milford.
