Harry Dandridge Obituary

Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch from Sep. 27 to Sep. 28, 2008.
DANDRIDGE, Harry L. III, 30, ascended up to Heaven to live eternally with God on September 24, 2008. Harry was a caring man. He was always willing to help anyone in need. Those who knew him best knew that he was very passionate, which was reflected in his poetry. His writings are inspirational and spirit based. When you read them you are taken on a journey through his heart and soul. One of his favorite pastimes was fellowshipping with his family whom he deeply loved and respected. He could make everyone smile and was always the life of the party. If his comical impersonations didn't make you laugh to tears, his delightful spirit alone would bring joy to your heart. He is a Lee-Davis graduate, an army veteran, a chef by trade and a member of Faith Landmarks Ministries, where he served the Lord as an usher. He is survived by his father, Rev. Harry Dandridge Jr.; mother, Sandra Jones; stepmother, Arleen Dandridge; three brothers, Brooks, Tyler and Logan Dandridge; sister-in-law, Akilah Dandridge; grandparents, Harry Dandridge Sr. and Doris Dandridge; nieces, Arianna and Mikah Dandridge; aunt, Martha Anderson; beloved fiancee, Whitney Reeves; and a host of other relatives and friends. Remains rest at the F.E. Dabney Funeral Home, 600 B Street, Ashland, Va. Services will be held Monday, September 29, 1 p.m. at Faith Landmarks Ministries, 8491 Chamberlain Rd., Richmond, Va. Rev. Randy Gilbert, pastor. Rev. Scott Isabel officiating. Interment Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery, Mechanicsville. The family will receive friends Sunday (tonight), September 28, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Union Baptist Church, 301 North Snead St., Ashland. Online condolences can be made at www.fedabneyfuneralhome.com.

I went to school with Trey back in middle school as well. We just recently lost another classmate and we ran across Trey's passing in the paper. He was so fun to be around and I have fond memories of him. I am saddened to have lost touch with him but do have comfort knowing he is at peace. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

I am very sad to hear the lost of your dear Son, like many others I had the privileged/honor of knowing Harry. The bible tells us to " to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." with these words please take comfort.

To the family of Harry
I met Harry while he was staying in Petersburg. His spirit was one filled with love and hope even during low times in his life. Over 3 or 4 months my wife and I grew a relationship with Harry that became one like family. We will hold on to the memories of our conversations of dreams and hope for the future and know that Harry is now cradled in the arms of his savior Jesus Christ. His presence in Heaven will add to the joy already being experienced and I look forward to the day to be reunited with him as brothers. Our prayers are with you during this time.

We were not privileged to have met your son but we can only imagine he was a person of great quality and caring just as his father. There is no way to fathom the feelings you are having in the loss of your child but I hope you can feel comfort as he is with a different Father now and for always. Your time away from him is only temporary as you will meet again, next time it will be for eternity. May God comfort you through his word, your family and friends.

Harry will never be forgotten. He shall forever live within my heart. There is a fine line between friend and family...it was easily crossed with a sweet special soul like Harry. Rest in peace, friend.

Our Family Chain, for Harry......

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.

If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Please take comfort in knowing that Harry knows God.

No words can take away the pain you feel today but find comfort with the Lord. May he wipe away your tears and hold you close to him as each day goes by. Trey was not just a wonderful person but a talented poet. I know he is in a better place we all hope to get to one day. I didn't get to spend alot of time with him but my love for him will always be there. Your cuz, Rollett
