Harvey Taggart

Harvey Glen Taggart, age 83, affectionately known as "Pop", died Saturday February 7, 2026 at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Memphis, TN, he was the son of the late Harvey Glen Taggart and Emma Elizabeth Hobdy Taggart. Preceding him in death are two children; Jeffrey Wayne Taggart and Lisa Michelle Taggart, and three brothers; Don, Frank and Arthur John Taggart.

He proudly served in the US Air Force and afterward studied at Control Data Institute in Minnesota. He spent his career as a Field Service Engineer until he retired. He loved to fish, camp, hike and watch baseball, especially the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was an explorer at heart, always planning for the next adventure out west, with his topo maps in hand. He treasured the many trips he shared with his brothers, cousins, son, grandsons, granddaughters, and friends.

Harvey loved the Lord and throughout his adult life he was involved in several churches, ministries, and missions organizations. He served on the Board of Directors at Batesville Assembly of God and was a strong supporter of National Day of Prayer. He loved his Men’s Bible Study group at Fountain Square Ministries, and serving meals on Thursday nights to the community.

Above all, Pop was a family man, and he was immensely proud of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought him endless joy.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Sherry Taggart, son, Don Taggart (Celi), daughter, Libby Louden, eight grandchildren; Sierra, Bethany, Sophia, Benjamin, Claire, Camden, Sada, and Simeon, seven great grandchildren; Judah, Justice, Jameson, Jael, Mars, Ximena, and Gabriella, sister Suzanne Taggart Pardue (Carlston "Mutt") and many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and friends who were like family.
