June 2, 1934 – March 13, 2018
James W. “Jim” Harris, 83, passed away peacefully at his residence Tuesday with his family by his side. Mr. Harris is preceded in death by his parents, Holt and Bernice Bryson Harris; one brother, Grady Harris; and one sister, Alberta Lusk.
Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 62 years, Evelyn L. Harris; son, Phil Harris and his wife Anne; two grandchildren, Hannah and David Harris; and several other relatives and friends.
“Jim”, as most people called him, was a friend to all and loved life and family-especially his grandchildren! He was always caring of others more so than himself. He loved writing, and had several articles appear in local magazines and periodicals. Quite a tinkerer, he always had a project going in the garage. He and Evelyn were long time faithful members of Mastin Road Church of Christ where Jim has served as an elder. Jim Harris was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him!
You may visit with the family at Valhalla Funeral Home on Monday, March 19, 2018 from 12-2PM. A funeral service conducted by Scotty Sparks will commence in Valhalla’s chapel at 2PM. The entombment will immediately follow in Valhalla Memory Gardens Love Court Mausoleum. Please sign his guest registry at www.valhallafunerals.com.
