James Harshbarger Obituary
Mark was preceded in death by his parents Larry and Ruby (Eaton) Harshbarger.
Mark was a strong Christian man, and a loving husband to Kathy and father to daughter Sara and son Steven for almost 25 years, and a doting "Gramps" to his grandchildren.
Mark was employed by the City of Gallatin and previously was the owner of BNA Express.
Mark was a lifelong Chicago Bears fan, and in recent years rooted for UT as well. Mark was a youth football coach and Assistant Football Coach at Merrol Hyde Middle school.
Mark was amateur singer/songwriter and loved playing and collecting guitars, and enjoyed listening to 70's rock music, particularly Grand Funk Railroad. Mark also loved sci-fi movies, the beach and warm weather. He was probably best known for wearing a stocking cap 24/7, no matter the weather!
Mark's strong Christian Faith led him to teach Sunday School and Divorce Care at his church for several years. He was well-versed in scripture and a mentor to others; Mark's favorite Bible verse was: Joshua 24:15" but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
A celebration of Mark's life will take place at a later date. If you would like to honor Mark, please make a donation to the American Cancer Society, or the American Diabetes Association.
