Joshua Cory Harrison died Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at his home in Madison. Joshua was born 31 years ago, Jan. 31, 1991 in Tupelo. Joshua’s joyous birth soon turned tragic with the death of his mother days later.
Despite that tragedy, Joshua grew up in a home where he was loved – first by two gracious grandparents, Troy and Lucille Harrison of Laurel, and later by a mother, father, three older siblings and a host of other family and friends. Joshua loved playing soccer and was gregarious, funny and caring.

Dear Harrison family, one of the saddest things someone can experience is the death of a loved one. Did you know the Bible compares death to sleep? (Psalms 13:3) Just as a person who is asleep is unaware of what is happening around him, the dead are not conscious of anything. There is a promise of hope in the Bible. Our loving God has promised to awaken the dead, as if from sleep, and give them life again. Acts 24:15 says, “There is going to be a resurrection.” The bible offers comfort for those who are grieving and I hope this brings you comfort as well.
