He enjoyed fishing, hiking, kayaking, and music, and spent most of his free time in the company of his family and friends sharing stories and laughter. He will be most remembered for his generous spirit.

He is survived, and will be dearly missed, by his parents Rick Harris and Lori Middagh Harris; brother Eric Harris and his wife Melissa, and their son Zachary and daughter Lillian; and brother Tristan Harris and his wife Kerri and their daughter Kaeleigh.
