We are saddened to announce the passing of Harry Cannon, 72, of Richmond, VA on Friday, January 27, 2023, at Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, VA after a short illness. He was born February 22, 1950, in Effingham, SC to Willie "Bud" Cannon and Ila Cannon.
Harry was outgoing and full of life. He enjoyed fishing, building, and outdoor activities that involved him working with his hands, but most important were the precious moments shared with his son, Dwayne. Harry had an infectious smile and a huge personality. He was sure to have all those around him laughing and filled with joy. He will truly be missed.
Harry leaves behind to cherish his memory a loving and devoted son, Dwayne Cannon and his mother, Linda Cannon; two brothers, William Cannon (Lou Ann) and Cleveland Johnson (Penny); four sisters, Doretha Sellers, Linda Evans (Gary), Betty Frierson, and Shirley Profit; sister-in-law Pearl Cannon Henderson; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends, whom he loved dearly.
Harry was preceded in death by his parents, Willie and Ila Cannon; four sisters, Dorothy Brown Cannon, Betty Mae Cannon Thompson, Earline Johnson, and Earnestine Dock; and six brothers, Ernest Cannon, Leverne Cannon, Wilson "Bubba" Cannon, Joe Cannon, Willie “Bill Lee” Cannon, and Terry Cannon.
Final services were privately held.
