Mark Wayne Harrison

Mark Wayne Harrison, 62 of Mathiston, MS, passed away Monday, March 31, 2025, at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo, MS. Mark was born on January 16, 1963, in Jackson, MS to Joe Donald Harrison, Sr. and Deanna Calloway Harrison. He was a devoted father and husband. Mark met and married Becky Walker and the two were married for 40 years. They shared a love of team roping and horse showing. Anyone who knew Mark would know of his sense of humor and his many jokes. Mark started Harrison Dozer Services in the early 2000’s. Perhaps his favorite thing was running his dozer. When he was not on his dozer, he was also an avid hunter and loved to go fishing with his grandson Harrison. Mark had a big impact on the lives of many people and became close to the many people he worked for and alongside over the years. He will be greatly missed by all.
