David Eugene Harsh, age 61, of Sand Creek, passed away on Monday, July 7, 2025, at home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born on December 16, 1963, in Adrian to John and Mary Lou (Fenton) Harsh. On January 29, 1983, he married the love of his life, Lisa Hamlin, in Jasper. They celebrated over 43 wonderful years together and raised their three beautiful girls.
