The Swansea community is mourning the peaceful passing of Harrison “Harry” Titherington, a deeply cherished Swansea resident who died on Good Friday, 3 April 2026, at the remarkable age of 100 years old. His passing marks the end of a long and celebrated life that touched generations of family across South Wales and beyond.
Born on 17 July 1925 in Swansea (Abertawe), Harry Titherington lived a life that spanned an entire century — a life filled with love, quiet dignity, and unwavering devotion to his family. He passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by those who cherished him most.
This Swansea death notice is published on behalf of the Titherington family to inform friends, neighbours, and the wider community of Harry’s passing and the forthcoming funeral arrangements.
A Beloved Father, Grandfather, and Great-Grandfather
Harry Titherington leaves behind a rich family legacy that spans four generations. He was the beloved father of Andrew, Alan, and Ian, and a proud grandfather to Nichola, Joanne, Paulah, Robbie, Mabon, Llywelyn, and Iestyn. His great-grandchildren — Harry, Thomas, Charlie, Roni, Oliver, Brooklyn, Jordie, Aurora, and Lilah — will carry forward the warmth and memory of a man who lived life with grace and purpose.
To reach the age of 100 in Swansea, to have known so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren by name — that is not just a long life, but a full one. The Titherington name will resonate through South Wales for generations to come.
