With heavy hearts and deep respect, we announce the passing of Dawn Maddox—known and loved by many as Sherie—who left this world on March 30, 2026. A devoted mother, a loyal friend, and a woman who lived life boldly and authentically, she leaves behind a legacy that will ride on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Sherie was a true biker at heart—fearless, free-spirited, and undeniably genuine. The open road was her sanctuary, especially atop her beloved Harley-Davidson, where the roar of the engine and the rush of the wind brought her a sense of peace and freedom that defined her soul. Riding wasn’t just something she enjoyed—it was a reflection of who she was. She embraced life with grit and grace, always ready for the next adventure and always willing to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.
Beyond her love for the road, Sherie’s greatest pride and joy was her family. She is lovingly remembered by her son, Tyler Harper; her cherished granddaughter, Addie Harper; her sister, Deena Williamson and her husband Dave; and her brother, Brandon Maddox and his wife Summer. She also leaves behind a wide circle of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.
She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Aaron Harper, whose loss she carried with strength and resilience. The thought of their reunion now brings comfort to those who mourn them both, knowing they are together once again.
Those who knew Sherie will remember her for her courage, her kindness, and the unmistakable spark she brought into every room—and every mile—she traveled. Her laughter was contagious, her spirit unbreakable, and her love for those around her unwavering. She had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and welcomed, leaving a lasting impression wherever she went.
As we say goodbye, we hold onto the memories she gave us and the love she shared so freely. May she rest in peace, forever riding in wide-open skies, reunited with her son, and remembered with love by all whose lives she touched.
Memorial services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, April 6, 2026, at HIS Church, 6300 Arden Road, Amarillo, Texas, under the care of Lighthouse Funeral Home.
