Harry Edward Harshbarger (Butch) passed away on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
He was born in Elkins, WV on May 3, 1942 and had been a Ventura County, CA resident for most of his life.
Butch retired from GTE as a Lineman when he suddenly lost his vision. His love was for smoking meat on his RecTeq grill, his dog Scruffy and shooting the breeze with his son.
He is survived by his long-term companion Christa Huwe, son Harry E. Harshbarger (wife Ilene) of Burley, ID; daughter Sandra L. Parker (husband Rickey) of Zebulon, NC; his grandchildren Trisha Robles, Cody Lane (fiancé Leticia Sanchez), Savannah Harshbarger (fiancé Alex Mascorro), Sierra Petersen (husband Logan), twins Jack and Eliana Parker, Sydney Harshbarger, and great grandchildren Aviana Robles, Aria Robles, Draven Robles, and Lucas Mascorro.
There will not be a service at this time. Harry will be taken to his final resting place in Elkins, WV at the end of Spring. Donations may be made to the Braille Institute in Los Angeles, CA.
