The Harris Family Have Our Heart Felt Condolences In Knowing Of The Passing Of Deacon Benjamin Harris Sr May God Be With The Family And Comfort Them In Time Of Need!
He's my friend and a military person, I am missed him so very much, so kindly, normal, so generous person, we missed you keep em' in their hearts. He was 85 years old, we pray for her and his family for a difficult time!
He's a beautiful deacon, I missed dearly, keep Mrs. Katie Mae and his family in their prayers. He'll always be missed! God bless his own soul!
Granddaddy was an honorable man, full of love and strength, and a true pillar of the family. His wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support touched so many lives, leaving behind a legacy that will never fade.
Ben was a brother closer to me than a blood brother. We shared a bond, devotion, and commitment beyond wording. So often in life, you come across two types of people; an associate and a friend. The loss of My Brother is a significant part of my life. I owe My achievements, drive, and motivation to his guiding words of growth and achievement in manhood. Our bond as brothers date back 44-yrs. My love of him and family I'll cherish, and honor always. To the family, thanks for allowing me to be a part of a godly family.
