James "Sherman Oaks" Millaway passed away on December 23, 2023. Jim is survived by his children; Jack and James, grandchildren; Jimmy, Jackson, Carter, and Nolan; his beloved daughters-in-law Jill and Ellye, and too many friends to count. He sends his love to Deb here as well! James is well-known throughout Tulsa from his time as Sherman Oaks from the Mazeppa show, and for his long-serving role for 47 years as the Chaplain of the Tulsa State Fair.

Sherm lived a magical life having been gifted at birth the ability to breathe at night and see underwater. He lived for 82 years largely avoiding the inconveniences of family and, god forbid, work. He was willing to put in the work to make people laugh and he did that better than anyone we have known.

There will be no formal service, religious or otherwise. There will be a celebration of his life and the laughs he created with more details to come. In lieu of flowers Sherm would ask that you direct donations to the Animal Aid Thriftstore or Moreland Sherrod.
