Congratulations to our very own Pat Merryman on being named one of the 50 Most Influential People in Greater Lynchburg! 🎉

Giving back to the community that her family – and the company that bears her family’s name – has called home for generations has always been a pillar in Pat’s life. During her 45-year career with Sonny Merryman, she helped shape not only our company but a culture that shares that same commitment to serving others.

Pat’s vision, integrity, generosity, and unwavering dedication to her community have left a lasting mark on our team, our Customers, and countless organizations throughout Central Virginia.

We join the Chesapeake Public Schools community in remembering our long-time customer and friend, Herbert Byrd.

Herbert was more than a customer to Sonny Merryman. He was someone our team always looked forward to seeing, and his kindness and dedication to student transportation left a lasting impact on so many of us.

Our heartfelt condolences are with Herbert’s family, friends, and everyone at Chesapeake Public Schools during this difficult time.

Herbert will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the people and communities he poured into. 💙
