James V. Harrison

James V. (Jamie) Harrison, age 61, of Sykesville, MD passed away on Friday June 27, 2025, after a yearlong battle with AML. Jamie was born January 14, 1964, to Francis E. (Johnnie) Harrison Sr and Edwina (Dwinnie) Linthicum Harrison.

Jamie – lovingly referred to as Jacka$$ - grew up as the second youngest on the family farm just outside of Libertytown, MD. He graduated from Linganore High School in 1982. He was a proud member of US Army Reserves 558 Signal Co, Frederick, MD for 5 yrs and a loud and proud American his entire life. He got his CDL’s and started driving big trucks right out of high school. He was an over-the-road trucker for most of his life. The last 10 years Jamie was the owner/operator of JV Harrison Backhoe & Septic proudly driving his “Stool Bus” with his horn playing the ice cream man music as he and Cris rode around. Jamie lived life loud and politically incorrect with a huge heart, a big smile, always looking for just the “right” inappropriate comment to make someone laugh. He simply loved people, especially kids. He will be greatly missed by many.
