Sylvester Harmon 87 of Columbia Ky died Sunday September 15, 2024, at Bell Haven Nursing Home in Chicago, IL. He was born in Adair County on May 1, 1937, to the late Charlie "Toad" and Clara Opal Burton Harmon.

Sylvester retired from Chicago Metalic where he worked as a machine operator.   In his spare time, he loved playing the guitar, raising a garden, fishing, piddling around outside, reading his Bible, and most of all spending time with his family. He will always be remembered by the nieces and nephews as the fun Uncle who liked to pull off our noses in between his fingers and put it back on, he would teach us how to whistle with a blade of grass or cupping their hands, he showed us how he could crack our knuckles with a gentle touch, and we wouldn't feel a thing.  The best part was he would teach us how to do his tricks so we could use them on others.

Survivors include his son Jason Harmon, Granddaughter Lily Harmon, Grandson Jason Harmon Jr, Brother Earnest Harmon, and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was proceeded in death by his wife Dianne Harmon, 2 sons Benjamin and Wayne, 1 daughter Lilyann and many siblings.

Funeral services will be 3:00pm Monday, September 23, 2024, at Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home with burial in the Haven Hill Cemetery. Visitation will be on Monday after 11:00am at Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home.
