Harrison Shields McClure

On Monday, August 22 at 2:00 pm, our precious Harrison Shields McClure, age 22, of Austin, Texas, was killed in an automobile accident in Coleman, Texas. He was on his way back to start his senior year at Santa Fe University of Art and Design from which he would have graduated in May of next year. Harrison was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on June 3, 1994 to parents Elizabeth Bush and Brian Reed McClure. He lived in New Orleans, Louisiana until the age of 4 when he and his family of 5 moved to Austin, Texas. As a boy Harrison joined the Boy Scouts and was a member of Troop 990 through high school. In scouting Harrison enjoyed hiking, cooking, fishing, and high adventures including Philmont, the National Jamboree, and the World Jamboree held in Sweden. He went on to proudly attain the rank of Eagle Scout. Harrison graduated from St. Andrew's Episcopal High School where he developed his love for film making and the Chinese culture and language. During his time at St. Andrew's, he went twice to Beijing to study Chinese. At graduation Harrison received the Hilary Henneke Carson Award that honored him as the graduate who most exemplified exceptional personal growth and outstanding values. He went on to study filmmaking at Santa Fe University of Art and Design after graduation and had completed his junior year. Harrison was the most loyal friend a person could have. He was known by those who knew him as a person who was honest, compassionate, and hard working. He was tenderhearted and would help anyone who he saw was in need.

He is survived by his parents Elizabeth Bush McClure and Brian Reed McClure and his 2 brothers Robert Reed McClure and Travis Bush McClure. He is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins.
