Oct 29th, 1994 - Dec 26th, 2023Harlen Ray Humes, age 29, of Evansville, Indiana, and formerly of Olney, Illinois, departed this earth on December 26, 2023, at home in Olney where he wanted to be surrounded by his family and his dog Kohi.
He was born October 29, 1994, in Olney, the son of Trichell Lynn and Barbara (Cochran) Humes.
Harlen was a 2013 graduate of East Richland High School and went on to earn a degree in mechatronics engineering from Vincennes University.

In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with family and friends, playing video games, anime/manga, furthering his education, fishing, and riding dirt bikes.
