Our father, Harry Young Sparks left this life to join his loving wife Janey in Heaven. Harry died on July 5th, 2022, at the age of 83. He spent most of his life in South Knoxville and has left a lasting impression on the community. Harry served as a high school and middle school teacher, and was able to touch the lives of countless young people. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Harry never turned down an opportunity to go fishing with his friends, and he never said no when someone asked him for help.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Arthur Vernon and Claby Lee Sparks; wife, Jane; son, Richard; and sister, Janice. He is survived in life by his daughter, Elizabeth; son, Arthur; daughter in law, Bonnie; sister, Ann; brother-in-law VW; and his grandchildren: Zach, Erika, Bryce, and Mason. Harry will be forever missed but remembered with love and fondness by all those were touched by his life.
Family will receive friends Saturday, July 9, 2022 from 6:00 – 7:00 PM at Berry Funeral Home, 3704 Chapman Highway, with a memorial service to follow at 7:00 PM.
