Harry Boxell

August 24,1947-January 20, 2026

Harry Boxell is now with the Lord. His body has been restored, and he is at peace — whole and renewed in the presence of his Savior.

Harry was born on August 24, 1947, and entered eternal rest on January 20, 2026, at the age of 78.

A man of deep patriotism, Harry proudly served the United States during two tours of duty in Vietnam. His love for his country was not merely spoken, but lived — through service, sacrifice, and steadfast values. He preferred a quiet life, avoided the spotlight, wasn’t fond of photographs, and had a gift for stretching a dollar further than most.

Harry found great joy and peace in the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, where he embraced both adventure and quiet reflection. He was also a devoted fan of Western movies and could spend hours happily immersed in the stories of another time and place.

Above all else, Harry’s greatest joy was his grandchildren. He took immense pride in their accomplishments, and when he spoke of them, his eyes would glow. This was where his heart was fullest.

Harry was married for more than 30 years and is survived by his two children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and five beloved grandchildren, who will carry forward his stories, values, and love. He is now reunited with his father, mother, and brother.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

—Revelation 21:4
