Perry R. Harrison (67) of White Swan walked on to explore the next world on June 28, 2018. A generous man known for his laughter and joking ways, he will be sorely missed by everyone. Perry had a smile for everyone he came across.
Perry came into this world on August 8, 1950 in Farmington, NM. He was raised and attended school in the Shiprock, NM area and graduated from high school at Navajo Methodist Mission School. He then moved to the Lower Valley to be near his family. From there he moved to the west side to attend Everett Community College and then joined the US Army where he served four years. Next life took him to Washington State University where he completed a degree in General Agriculture and has been a fervent Cougars fan ever since. At WSU he met his future wife Diane. They moved back to White Swan and tried ranching for a few years and then welcomed a daughter into the world in 1981.
Perry worked for Yakama Nation Forestry from his colleges days until retirement. During that time he became a Commissioned Law Enforcement Officer who specialized as a Timber Protection Officer. He traveled around the NW tracking down missing logs and investigating crimes. He was always proud of his FBI training and later became a Fire Investigator, known in the area for assisting with arson investigations. He was known for his strong work ethic and vast experience.
In addition to the pride he took in his work, Perry had several hobbies include photography and collecting knives and guns. Given he was always working at odd hours in the woods, he also had many Bigfoot and UFO stories for his family and friends.
He will be fondly remembered by all those who loved him.
He was preceded by his parents and survived by his brothers Pierce Harrison and Preston Harrison and his daughter Kathryn Akeah and granddaughter Kiya.
Funeral services will be at 10 AM Tuesday July 3, 2018 at Colonial Funeral Home with burial to follow at the Toppenish Creek Cemetery in White Swan. Colonial Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
