Richard Harold Box departed this life on August 13th, 2021, at his home, surrounded by his family that adored him, at the age of 79 years, 1 month and 20 days.  He was born Wednesday, June 24th, 1942, in the Walnut Grove community outside Trumann, and lived nearly all his life in the Trumann area. Harold married his high school sweetheart Sharon Box (O’Brien), or "his sweetie, " as you would hear him say, on December 7th, 1962. She was the unquestionable love of his life. They were married 58 wonderful years.      He served as a deacon of Maple Grove Baptist Church for 40 years and was as beautiful an example of Christ’s love as any person could be. Harold loved people wholly, unconditionally, and forever, regardless of circumstance.      Harold was a successful businessman who devoted his entire career of 60 years to Taylor & Stuckey, Inc. Humble, and hard working are words you will hear him described as by his peers in the agricultural industry, but honesty and integrity are what describe him best. He deeply cared for his customers and the company he worked for which was evident by the amount of time he devoted to them. His handshake was firm, and it was his word.      He was an avid and accomplished outdoorsman, and a huge fan of sports, with basketball and baseball being his favorites. He spent his free time hunting with family and close friends and felt strongly that March Madness should be considered a holiday. Later in life he and Sharon enjoyed nothing more than following their grandson’s baseball team and their “baseball family,” to weekend tournaments. Harold embodied everything that is good and kind. His wisdom was great and his love, unabridged and perfect.  He is preceded in death by 1 sister, 1 brother and his parents, Clifton E. and Opal Lee Evans Box.      He is survived by his wife, Sharon O’Brien Box of the home; one son, David (Kerri) Box of Trumann.
