SMBA member Devon Sherwood died March 23, 2016 at the age of 72. After graduating from the University of Missouri School of Law, Devon began his five-decade spanning practice in Springfield, most of those years in the firm of Sherwood, Honecker and Bender. Devon distinguished himself professionally early in his career, receiving the 1974 Outstanding Young Trial Lawyer award from the Missouri Bar.
Devon was a regular fixture at the courthouse, enjoying coffee and conversation with his colleagues in the lawyers' lounge between cases. He practiced family law and criminal defense, and when he wasn't working he was immersed in one of many avid interests and hobbies.
A gathering of friends and colleagues will be held this evening, Monday, March 28, and details can be found in Devon's obituary.
