Brian P. Shervin, 19

Brian P. Shervin, 19, of 101 Bluegrass Circle, Landisville, passed away unexpectedly on Friday in Westmoreland County, PA.

Born in Philadelphia, Brian was the son of Daniel J. and Mary Pat McHugh Shervin. He was a 2007 graduate of Hempfield High School and was attending the University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg, where he had just completed his freshman year.

Brian loved snowboarding and lacrosse, having played while at Hempfield High School. He also loved his electronics classes while at Hempfield, having aspirations of becoming an electrical engineer. He had also played football with the Hempfield Area Midget Football association in years past. He enjoyed camping and was a Boy Scout, spending his summers serving as a camp counselor at Camp Rodney in Maryland.

Known for having a great sense of humor, Brian always had a smile for others, and was always more than willing to help someone else when needed. His happy and friendly nature will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Brian was a member of St. Leo The Great Catholic Church.

In addition to his parents, Brian is survived by his siblings: Tricia Malloy of Clearfield, PA, and Danny, Christine, and Carolyn Shervin, all of Landisville; his niece and nephew, Sierra and Cooper Malloy; his maternal grandmother, Claire McHugh of Lancaster and his paternal grandmother, Anne Shervin of Ambler,PA.

My son Dustin is a student at Pitt at Greensburg.  I happened to see the UPG website telling of the horrible accident that has affected your lives.  It breaks my heart that you folks are living through the most heartwrenching times of your lives.  We send our children off to college with high hopes for their future.  I have three sons in college.  All on their own.  The empathy I have for you is huge.  My sincerest sympathies.

I learned about Brian and his accident at our CNH America Toastmasters meeting this past week and was deeply saddened.

I am sure I can say for all of us, this was one of the most somber meetings we had in a while, however, meaningful nonetheless.  We all send our prayers and thoughts to your family. 

I pray for God’s peace that transends all understanding and the comfort of His Holy Spirit as you take time to mourn the loss of your precious son.  I also pray the He will lift you up in this time of sorrow to know He is with you every step. 

God Bless and keep you and your family in His loving arms of grace.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  May memories of Brian and the grace and peace of God be with you during this very difficult time.  Know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw his face.
He put his arms around him and lifted him to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
As the days come and go and the world moves on,
I know he’s still here, he’ll never be gone.
On the night the Angel came and
took his hand,
Everyone cried as he left for an unknown land.
But Heaven rejoiced as he came into sight,
For his presence, made everything right!
You are in our thoughts and prayers and we offer our deepest sympathy-
Brett and Sandee Hart
