Obituary of Kenneth Melvin Harris

HARRIS, Kenneth Melvin – Peacefully surrounded by loved ones, Kenneth Harris died at St. Joseph’s Hospice, on  November, 2, 2021 at the age of 74.  Beloved husband of 49 years of the late Joyce Harris (Feb. 21, 2021).

Ken was a man of many talents and many virtues. He could exceed your expectations in any task or any sport he partook in, and then make a witty joke about how easy it was. He was a man, above all, that was dedicated to his family. Throughout his life he made so many sacrifices for those he loved, and if you asked him to do it all again; he would do it in a heartbeat. He was an incredible husband, a wonderful father, and the perfect grandfather. He made such an impact on all of our lives and helped shape us into the people we are today.  Ken will be missed and held close to our hearts for the rest of our lives and beyond.
