Richard Lee Harbourt, Sr.

Richard Lee Harbourt, Sr., 83, of Belmont, Ohio passed away on July 10, 2025, at Barnesville Hospital. He was born on September 29, 1941, to the late Clayton Clark and Ruth Jeanette (Lynn) Harbourt.

Richard retired with over twenty years as a Coal Miner. He served in the United States Air Force. He was a member of the Harbor of Hope Assembly of God. He enjoyed playing Bingo and working in the yard. He was an Elvis and classic cars enthusiast. His passion was his family. As a boy, his biggest influence was his grandfather, Charles Lynn. Richard, like his grandfather, became the man whom anyone could call Dad or Pap Pap. He loved berry picking with the kids and repairing and winterizing the cars. He helped whenever asked. He made sure everyone was safe—a proud provider. He was the rock of the family and will be dearly missed by all that loved him.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Kathryn (Pfouts) Harbourt; children, Susan Weaver, Richard Lee Harbourt, Jr., Charlyn Harbourt; grandchildren, Michael Harbourt, Christopher Biery, Justin (Jennifer) Biery, Terra Jeanette Weaver; great-grandchildren, Christian, Meredith, Christine, Jalyn, Jacob, Timmy.

The visitation for family and friends is on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 2 pm to the time of service at 4 pm at the Harbor of Hope Assembly of God, 67667 Warnock Road, St. Clairsville, Ohio 43950, with Pastor Dean Myers officiating.  A private burial at a later time will take place at the Union Cemetery in Morristown, Ohio.
