Harry Hirt Obituary

Harry Fredrick Hirt

Born: February 21, 1938 | Died: November 2, 2025

Harry Hirt, 87, of Soddy Daisy, TN, formerly of Tigerton, WI, passed away on Sunday, November 2, 2025, following a brief illness.

He was born in Tigerton, WI on February 21, 1938.

We rejoice in knowing he has been reunited in heaven with his wife, Donna, who passed away in December 2024.

He is preceded in death by his parents, daughter Darlene Anderson, son, David Hirt, grandson, Darren Jahnke, Heather Hirt, son-in-law, Barry VanDelinder, and daughter-in- law, Glennis Hirt.

He is survived by his daughters, Debra Smith (David), Elizabeth VanDelinder, son-in-law Michael Anderson, grandchildren, Nathan Anderson (Brandy), Danielle Smith (Brian), Barry VanDelinder (Samantha), William VanDelinder (Benny) and Christine Watson (Shane), his brother Harlan Hirt (Judy), Hildred Tornberg (Ed), Anna Hirt (Patty) and Catherine Eidel as well as a special sister-in-law, Kathie Greenwood (Dennis), fourteen great-grandchildren and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Harry was of the Lutheran faith and loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In his hometown of Tigerton, WI, Harry will always be known as "Hookshot Harry", for his skill on the basketball court! He was most proud of the family he made with Donna and their children along with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

No services will be held at his request.

The family would like to thank Amedysis Home Healthcare, DCI Dialysis Dayton, Dr. Hak Seo and Dr. Vuong for their care in the last months.
