Jarrod Lee Harper, 39 was born July 2, 1983 to Randy & Judy (Toll) Harper in Hill City Kansas. He passed away June 12, 2023 as the result of a car accident in rural Graham County.
He attended Hill City Grade School and Longfellow Middle School. Jarrod graduated from Hill City High School with the class of 2002.
On January 2, 2010, Jarrod was united in marriage to Michaela Morris at the Hill City Christian Church. Jarrod was blessed with the privilege of being the dad to two sons, Joshua and Shawn, who meant the world to him.
Jarrod was a member of the Spring Creek Hustlers 4-H club growing up and took a liking to shooting sports. He learned the skills needed and enjoyed hunting with his dad and grandpa. With hunting being a favorite pastime, the formation of the Legacy Lodge brotherhood was born in 2008. Starting with three OGR’s (Old Guys Rule) and adding five sons and now grandsons with Josh starting the 3rd generation to be followed by several more. The comradery of Legacy Lodge has continued to roll on for 15 years. Pit BBQs and cooking adventures have always been entertaining at the lodge, you of course had to cook up the fresh birds that had been bagged from the day. The stories and lies run rampant! There are so many memories from couch surfing to fire pit dancing. As a brother stated, he will always be the roof pull up champion and the best shot of all the young guys, our numbers will definitely go down without him.
The oilfield grabbed Jarrod’s attention and was a place he found many friendships over the years with employment for various companies. He was never afraid to work or lend a helping hand. He could definitely throw chain and latch pipe with the best of them!
Jarrod had a passion for coaching the kids, especially his own, whether it was soccer or baseball or anything giving positive encouragement to all. The golf course was often where you would find Jarrod, either playing multiple rounds of golf or just hitting and chipping for practice. He was always up for playing any course within driving distance or even spent hours chipping in the back yard. He enjoyed playing in a tournament or being on a team at Tuesday Night Men’s golf. He gained many new acquaintances and enjoyed playing with anyone.
He was preceded in death by his uncle Karl “Curly” Toll, maternal grandparents Lee and Marjorie Toll, paternal grandparents Glenn and Velma Harper.
He is survived by his wife Michaela, his sons Joshua and Shawn all of Hill City; his parents Randy and Judy Harper of Hill City; his sister Tracy (Mike) Paxson and his niece Baylor Paxson of Lincoln NE and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins & friends.
