Harry Keith Dismukes

Mr. Harry Keith Dismukes, 83, passed away Saturday, November 14, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of service, laughter, and more fishing stories than anyone could possibly verify.

A respected leader and dedicated public servant, he served as Fire Chief of Metro Fire Department, an EMT, Fire and Safety Specialist, and member of Spartanburg County HAZMAT. His contributions to the fire service earned him induction into the Fire Chiefs Association Hall of Fame.

He was a deacon at Hayne Baptist Church, Boy Scout Master and Eagle Scout Council, leader, softball coach, and devoted mentor who invested his life in teaching, helping, and encouraging others.

An avid fisherman, novice magician, practical joker, and master oyster stew maker, he never missed an opportunity to make someone laugh. He was a man of strong character, dependable leadership, deep faith, and an even deeper love for his family.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ruby Lucille Banks Dismukes, and son, Brian Keith Dismukes.

He is survived by his children, Leslie Dismukes Leso, Philipp Keith Dismukes, Thomas Keith Dismukes, Samuel Keith Dismukes, and Elizabeth Dismukes Marks; brother, Robby Dismukes; 21 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

He will be remembered for his servant's heart, his quick wit, and the joy he brought to those around him.

He spent a lifetime putting out fires, but the laughter he started will be much harder to extinguish.

A Visitation will be held from 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 at United Baptist Church, 7319 Valley Falls Road, Spartanburg, SC 29303. A Funeral Service will follow at 2:00 PM in the Church Sanctuary. Interment will follow at Little Mountain Baptist Church Cemetery in Wellford.

Flowers will be accepted for the service.
