Thomas Wayne Harrell

Thomas "Tommy" Wayne Harrell, 73, of Rockwell was called home by the Lord on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at Atrium Health Cabarrus Hospital in Concord, North Carolina.

Tommy was born November 10, 1950 in North Carolina to the late Charles Owen Harrell and the late Grace Harrell. He is also preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Bobby Soloman.

Tommy served his community for close to 40 years as a dedicated boat motor mechanic and owned and operated Tommy's Marine in Kannapolis, North Carolina.

Tommy was an awesome husband, father, and Pawpaw to all his wonderful grandchildren. He was an amazing dad to his two beautiful daughters. He was an amazing friend to anyone in need of a solid word of advice, and he always was very true to this word. He loved without any limitations any person he was in contact with. He cherished his friendship and marriage with his wife for over 30 years more that life itself, and it was shown through to anyone who would even glance in their direction. He was the rock for his children and grandchildren to always lean on and was held to a standard as second to only God. He made sure that they knew the Lord was to come first, but he was right there close behind. Tommy loved his neighbors and community and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. 

Survivors include his loving wife, Eva Reedy Harrell of Rockwell, NC; daughters, Beth (Matt) Wallace and Ashley (Stephen) Bare; grandchildren, Hannah (Tyler) Perry, Savannah Wallace, Lily Wallace, Elli Wallace, Ava Bare, August Bare, Levi Bare, and Callie Hudson; brother, Charles Harrell and sister, Dianne Soloman. Special friends: Bill and Lisa Propst, Jeff Steelman, Dale Drye, and Eddie Harrington, and many more that would be too numerous to list. Also, his four-legged children, Daisy Mae, CJ, Bear, Boogie, and Little Girl.

A memorial service will be held at Jackson Park Baptist Church in Kannapolis, North Carolina on Saturday, June 29th, 2024 at 5pm.
