David Wayne Harrison, 69, of Wilmore, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at home on January 28, 2026. Born on July 30, 1956, David lived a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Doris and T. Harrison; his brother, Mike; and his sister, Judy. He leaves behind his wife of many years, Sherry (Webb) Harrison, who was the love of his life. Together they built a family that was David's greatest pride.

Dear Sherry, Rebecca and Family,
Oh how heartbreaking to read this . We are so very sorry about David´s passing. What a good man and long time friend. We grew up together in Wilmore. All the neighborhood kids would come to our house and we would play ball in the lot beside the house. David and Donnie came all the time to play. Just such a good hearted boy and into a great man who loved his family . You all are in our hearts and prayers at this sad time. He will surly be missed , but as the Lord promises we will be together again in Heaven! Much Love and prayers for the days ahead. Barbara and Danny Smith.

We sure are going to miss you! You will never be forgotten and always loved. You always had a story to tell me and yes, it would always be funny. You are a very special cousin to me and I knew I was to you as well. You are now rejoicing with all the other loved ones that are there in heaven. The last time I saw you was at the Dunaway Family Reunion 2025, after that I spoke with you on the phone several times and you always said you were doing ok. You had a smile that was contagious. I Love you and will see you again.

David and I came to know each other after being introduced in Brock McVey plumbing supply by either Donnie or his late brother Mike. He and I got to know each other over the years, and I truly loved him as I do Donnie and Mike. He had a sincere love of Jesus and that made us friends. Gonna miss him here, but I know I'll see Him in heaven.
