With a positive attitude and perseverance, despite his physical challenges and the adversity he faced, he graduated from Bloomsburg High School in June of 2000. He enjoyed the simple things in life and loved making people laugh. He was a devout Penn State Football fan. Watching the games was one of his favorite past times and if seen out and about shopping, going for a walk uptown, or enjoying the fair he would be decked out head to toe in PSU attire, so everyone knew that was his team. He spent many years riding horses and going to dances at Eos Therapeutic horseback riding. He loved holidays and celebrations spending time with his family and going to church at Saint Columba where he would sing as loud as he could with words only God could understand. His sense of humor was undeniable he loved teasing and flirting with his nurses because he knew he could get away with it and playing practical jokes on people just to make them laugh. He is survived by his parents; Patricia Herrity of Bloomsburg and William J. and wife Constance Herrity of Reno, NV, two sisters and their families: Kelly (Herrity) Petros and husband Barry, and their four children; Anthony, Matthew, Zachary, and Ava, Deborah Herrity and partner Nicholas Halbert, and their three children; Gabrielle, Alexander, and Saralyn as well as aunts, uncle and cousins.
