James Marvin Harper Obituary

We bid farewell to James Marvin Harper (Chattanooga, Tennessee), whose journey of life gracefully concluded on April 28, 2026 at the age of 78. James Marvin touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of James Marvin Harper to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though James Marvin may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Baskin Turner and Marjory Brown Harper. He is survived by: his wife Deborah Barrett Harper (Sam); and his close friend Lance Corporal Bailey Casto.

He left behind a legacy of several life-changing works, which shall remain unnamed, as he believed charity should come from the heart and not for recognition.
