Tommy, the son of Thomas & Estelle Burks Harris, was born Sept. 19, 1956, in Paris.
On June 3, 1978, he married Linda Jacks, building forty-two years of family and memories. He was preceded in death by his parents, his mother-in-law, Flora Willbourn, and brothers-in-law, David Jacks and Jimmy Upton.
Survivors include his wife, Linda, son, Justin & family of Blossom, brother, Cliff Harris & wife Marlia of Reno, sister, Billie Upton of Blossom, nieces, Michelle, Stephanie, Jamie, and Amy and nephews Barry, Jody, and Chris along with a plethora of friends.
Tommy worked for the City of Paris in the garage where he could fix anything that was broken. He got a kick out of teasing his friends. If Tommy liked you, you were going to be the object of one of his pranks.
