He was born in Adair County on May 1, 1937, to the late Charlie "Toad" and Clara Opal Burton Harmon.

Sylvester retired from Chicago Metalic where he worked as a machine operator. In his spare time, he loved playing the guitar, raising a garden, fishing, piddling around outside, reading his Bible, and most of all spending time with his family. He will always be remembered by the nieces and nephews as the fun Uncle who liked to pull off our noses in between his fingers and put it back on, he would teach us how to whistle with a blade of grass or cupping their hands, he showed us how he could crack our knuckles with a gentle touch, and we wouldn't feel a thing. The best part was he would teach us how to do his tricks so we could use them on others.

Survivors include his son Jason Harmon, Granddaughter Lily Harmon, Grandson Jason Harmon Jr, Brother Earnest Harmon, and many Nieces and Nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was proceeded in death by his wife Dianne Harmon, 2 sons Benjamin and Wayne, 1 daughter Lilyann and many brother and sister.

Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences at stottsphelpsmcquearyfh.com.
