Harry P. Rushton Jr.

Denver, CO

Harry P. Rushton Jr., 66, of Denver, Colorado, formerly of Rahway, New Jersey, passed away on March 5, 2026, surrounded by his family. Born on April 13, 1959, in Brooklyn, New York, he was the son of the late Harry “Dink” P. Rushton Sr. and Catherine “Sissy” (Reilly) Rushton.

A proud member of the Millwright Local 715 Carpenter’s Union for 35½ years, Harry retired in April 2021. He continued his trade with Davaco in Texas, traveling the country as a skilled carpenter for 27 years before retiring in late 2025. Known for his exceptional craftsmanship, he took deep pride in his work and built a long and rewarding career.

Harry was a devoted fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Knicks, and New York Mets. He had a great love for music of all kinds and enjoyed attending concerts, even while on the road for work. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family, filling their lives with laughter and lasting memories. He was a loving son, father, brother, uncle, and grandfather.

He is survived by his daughter, Jacqueline (Greg) Kavanagh of Nazareth, Pennsylvania; his son, Nicholas (Tess) Rushton of Denver, Colorado; his siblings, Patricia Rushton of Rahway, New Jersey, Theresa (David) Brusco of Parrish, Florida, Frank Rushton of Rahway, New Jersey, and Brandy Rushton of Rahway, New Jersey; five grandchildren, Alexis Rushton of Woodbridge, New Jersey, Allysse Kavanagh of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Jayden Minnich of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Niko Rushton of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and Fionn Rushton of Denver, Colorado; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Harry was predeceased by three siblings, William Rushton, Ann Rushton Miranda, and James Rushton, and by two children, Harry P. Rushton III and Donald Rushton.
