Harrison Ball

You can take the boy out of Texas,

but you can’t take Texas out of the boy.

A lifelong Dallas Cowboy fan, he would stubbornly wear shorts and flip flops long into the late fall, hoping the snow would never come.

Active in the Boy Scouts and ROTC in high school, it seemed natural for Harrison to join the Navy (even though he hated fish). He loved sharing stories of his adventures in Japan and throughout Southeast Asia.

He was a good cook, though he often added too much hot sauce for the rest of us and had a love of music, learning to play both trumpet and guitar.

From an early age, he seemed to have a knack for computers, finishing a programing certification at Eleven Fifty academy.

Harrison was fiercely loyal to the people he loved, with an offbeat sense of humor that would bring a smile to those who knew him best. He is survived by his parents; his sister, Michelle Ball; grandmother, Kitzi Ball; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
