Harrison "Harry" Eby

Harry Eby, 72, a lifelong resident of Bonners Ferry, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.

Harry was born on January 7, 1953, in Bonner Ferry to Ralph and Dolly Eby. He remained rooted in the town he loved throughout his life.

Harry, a devoted husband of 53 years to his loving wife, Julie Eby. Together, they raised three children. He was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren and a great-grandfather to nine. Time spent with his family was his deepest joy. His life was a testament to the values of love, loyalty, and family. He leaves behind a legacy that will be carried on by many lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Harry will be remembered as a loving, kind, and occasionally stubborn man who always stressed the importance of family. When he wasn’t spending time with family, he could be found outdoors-sitting by the water with a fishing pole in hand or out in the woods.

Harry is survived by his wife, Julie, and their children, Angel (Paul) Merritt, Renee (Mike) Clarkson, and Travis (Alichia) Eby; grandchildren Brianna (Noah) Cordle, Michael (Gabrielle) Clarkson, Kendra (Austin) Hittle, Andrew Clarkson (Julia Teeters), Ryan Merritt, Mason (Kaylee) Eby, Denton Eby (Chloe McNew), and Spencer Eby; great-grandchildren Lucas, Michael, Maddox, Brayden, Riley, Alice, Logan, and two more on the way. His siblings Terry (Albert), Kay Gage, Lynette (Larry) Kjos, Kevin Eby; spouse’s siblings Hank (Trenee) Solt, Annie (Terry) Swift, John (Patti) Solt, and David Solt.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Dolly Eby; spouse’s parents Jim and Ellie Solt; his sister Nickie Hernandez and spouse’s siblings Susie Solt, Kathie Prather, Laura Solt, and Dick Solt.

Harry's celebration of life will be held Saturday, June 21st, at 4:00 pm, at 124 Flintlock Lane, Bonners Ferry, Idaho. We encourage all who loved him to join the family in a potluck as we gather to celebrate Harry and share memories of him.
