Paul Richard Harshberger, Jr.

Paul Richard Harshberger, Jr., 62, passed away with his family by his side on August 14, 2024, at Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice, Wichita. He was born April 5, 1962, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the son of Paul Richard and Gloria Jones Harshberger, Sr. He was a graduate of Salisbury Elklick High School, Salisbury, Pennsylvania.

 Paul could be best described as a “Jack of all trades.” He was a truck driver a lot of his life though, driving for Dillons and Penner’s. His handle was “Lightening.” He was a member of the Iron Riders Motorcycle Group. He loved gardening and collecting die-cast trucks. But his pride and joy were his grandchildren.

A few of his favorite nicknames over the years were 2wheel Paul, Precious Paul, and Bad Santa. 

On February 7, 1983, he married Sonya Neufeldt at Mennonite Brethren Church, Buhler. She survives of the home.

Additional survivors include his daughter, Ashley (Nathan) Harold, McPherson; lots of adopted children; brother John (Amy) Harshberger, Salisbury, Pennsylvania; grandchildren, Colton and Kaylee Lauderdale; and many other family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; stepmother, Jeanne Harshberger; and a sister, Dianna Harshberger.
