Harmon Case Claridge

September 18, 1931 - April 20, 2025

Harmon Case Claridge, age 93, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 20, 2025.

Born in Phoenix, Arizona, to David Udell Claridge and Pearl Case Claridge, Harmon spent most of his life in his beloved home state. He married Shirley Satran Claridge, the love of his life, and together they would have celebrated 70 years of marriage on June 4, 2025.

Harmon had a lifelong passion for boxing, auto racing, classic cars, motorcycles, and the outdoors. One of his greatest pleasures was sitting outside, enjoying nature, and feeding the birds and squirrels.

In his later years, Harmon lived in Payson, Arizona, with his wife Shirley, daughter Tina, and son-in-law Ron. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who cherished time spent with his family.

Harmon is survived by his loving wife, Shirley; son, David Claridge; daughter, Tina Sigrist (Ron); and brother, Donald Claridge (Brenda). He is also survived by three grandchildren: Jennifer Whitt (Darrin Schenck), Chris Claridge (Emily), and Caitlin Claridge (Dillon Gibson).

He was preceded in death by his brother, Jack Claridge, and daughter-in-law, Susie Claridge.

A Memorial Service will be held on November 24, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona 2929 East Pinnacle Peak Road, Phoenix, AZ 85024
