Michael Lynn Harry

July 28, 1948 - May 19, 2016

"Michael Lynn Harry passed away on May 19, 2016 at the age of 67. Mike was born July 28, 1948 in Springfield, Missouri, to Lynno and Grace Harry. Mike married the love of his life, Debbie (Dertino), on October 2, 1976. He and Debbie enjoyed raising their three boys John (Lisa), Kevin (Bethany) and Brandon (Ivoree). He also loved spending time with his three grandchildren Jacob, Isabella and Wesley. Mike was known for being a hard and diligent worker who willingly helped others. Mike was a talented builder and owed his business for many years until he accepted an opportunity to work as a building inspector for Salt Lake City. Many in the community have expressed appreciation for his guidance and help as they built their own businesses. His coworkers at the city always enjoyed working side by side with him. Mike loved people and always had a story or a joke ready to share. He was baptized in December 1970 as one of Jehovah's Witness. A priority in his life was sharing his love of God's inspired word with his neighbors, conducting bible study classes, and he really appreciated seeing how the bible helped others in their lives. Mike loved the outdoors and would go camping or fishing any time he could. Growing up on a farm, he leaned to care for and came to love all kinds of animals. He often shared stories of his favorite horse Spot and always had his cat nearby while he worked in his garage. Mike loved his family dearly and appreciated all the times he spent with each of them. The family would like to thank the many family members, friends, nurses and care takers who helped Mike and his family during these past few years. One of his favorite scriptures was Revelation chapter 21 verses 3 and 4 where it is promised that man's enemy death will be brought to nothing here on the earth. We all look forward to that day and the time when we get to welcome Mike back (Acts 24:15). He is preceded in death by both of his parents, Lynno Matt and Grace Gout Harry, and his brother Matt Bruno. Funeral services will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (2240 South 600 East) on May 28 at 1:00 pm."
