Richard Jarrett Obituary
Richard was a life-long resident of Harrison, Arkansas, and was a Harrison High School graduate of 1981. He was a genuine people person; loved by all who met him. He built his dream home in Bear Creek Springs, a handmade log cabin that was constructed out of local white oak logs and resided there with his wife, Debbie, for the past 15 years. He was an avid outdoorsman; fishing for trout on the White River, hunting deer in the Ozarks and tending to his garden on the creek.
Some of his favorite times were taking road trips with his dad to South Arkansas to pick up
watermelons and selling home-grown produce at the farmer's market. Richard was a master on the grill and smoker and loved to cook for his family and friends.
Richard held various jobs throughout his life: Harrison Daily Times, M&M Moving, Harrison Grocery (Pippin Wholesale) and Wood Motor Company.
Richard is survived by his wife, Debbie Jarrett, of the home; parents, Curtis and Marilyn (Dees) Jarrett, of Harrison; brother, Michael (Deborah) Jarrett, of Branson West; sister, Cindy (Donald) Johnson, of Cabot; stepson, Travis (Stefanie) Wagoner, of Valley Springs; stepdaughter, Elizabeth (Josh) Hames, of Harrison; nephew, Andrew (Julie) Jarrett, of Tulsa, Oklahoma; niece, Ellen (Aaron) Wagner, of Waterloo, Iowa; seven grandchildren; and a host of other extended family and friends.
