Marty Sheahan began his career at Lohr Distributing in September 1982 and has held a variety of roles throughout his 44 years of service. For the past 31 years, he has served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, demonstrating long-standing leadership and dedication to the organization and the community it serves.

The inaugural Night at the Ballpark, organized by the Central Patrol Business Association, took place in 2018. Since then, Marty and Lohr Distributing have been unwavering supporters of the CPBA and its officers. This event has become one of the most anticipated each year, offering officers the opportunity to relax and enjoy time with colleagues, family, and friends in a casual setting while celebrating their achievements. The generosity of Lohr Distributing, in partnership with the St. Louis Cardinals, has been essential to the continued success of this meaningful tradition.

Marty’s commitment extends far beyond the Night at the Ballpark. For many years, he has been a steadfast supporter of all major CPBA events, including the CPD Barbecue and the organization’s largest fundraiser, CPBA Trivia Night. His consistent generosity has been instrumental in sustaining these events, many of which would not be possible without his support.

In recognition of his exceptional service and enduring commitment to the officers of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and the Central Patrol Business Association, we are proud to honor Marty Sheahan as the 2025 recipient of the Howard C. Meyer Award.
