Ira Sheriden

Ira Sheriden, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on June 11, 2026, in Carmel, Indiana. Born on September 27, 1941, in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Ira lived a life marked by commitment—to his career, his country, and most importantly, his loved ones.

Ira proudly served his country in the Army, and pursued higher education to earn a Bachelor’s Degree from Monmouth College, laying a foundation for a successful professional career.

For the last 30 years, Ira was a respected figure in sales at Penske Honda. Beyond his professional achievements, Ira’s passions extended to the finer things in life. He had a profound love for opera, appreciating the art form’s emotional depth and beauty. Equally, his heart belonged to his family, who were his greatest joy. He also found great pleasure in watching sports, often sharing that passion with those close to him.

Ira took pride in his yard and worked very hard to make the backyard a relaxing peaceful environment where he would sit for hours with his family, his dog, or by himself relaxing in the sun and listening to the water fountain.

Ira is survived by his beloved wife, Dana Sheriden; his son David Sheriden and his daughter, Danielle Sheriden; his grandchildren Ella and Jake Sheriden; he also leaves behind his sister, Meryl Sheriden, along with nephews Jesse Doherty and Jarrett Doherty, and niece Lindsey Andrewes. He is also survived by his beloved black lab, Dakota and his 4 grand-furbabies Blue, Murphy, Reggie, and Cash. They, alongside all who knew him, will remember Ira’s warmth and kindness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Michael Sheriden, and Lee Sheriden, as well as his in-laws Abe and Mae Lehner whose memories remained close to his heart.

A graveside service to honor Ira’s life will be held on June 15, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Beth El Zedeck North Cemetery, located at 9938 Eller Road, Fishers, Indiana 46038.

Ira Sheriden’s legacy is one of strength, devotion, and love. His presence will be deeply missed, but the impact he made on his family and community will resonate for years to come.
