Betty Jean Harris. He grew up on Menlo Road, where he was lovingly raised by his grandparents. The love,

values, and foundation established during those early years helped shape the man Vic would become•a

man who understood the importance of family, loyalty, hard work, and being there for the people he loved.

Vic was blessed to share 46 years of marriage with his loving and devoted wife, Valerie E. Harris,

affectionately known as Val. Everyone knew them as Vic and Val•where there was Vic, there was Val,

and where there was Val, there was Vic. Their marriage was a beautiful testament to love, commitment,

friendship, perseverance, and devotion. Through life's joys, challenges, celebrations, and difficult seasons,

Vic and Val remained by one another's side, building a life and family filled with love and treasured

memories. Forty-six years together created a bond that neither time nor death can erase. Val was at his side

when he passed away, a final testament to the love and devotion they shared throughout their marriage.

Vic•s daughters, Stephanie and Victoria, were always •his girls. • He loved them deeply and took

tremendous pride in the women they became. ney were his girls, and the love he carried for them was

deep, unconditional, and everlasting.

Then came another chapter of love in Vic's life•becoming a grandfather. His first grandchild, Neveah,

introduced Vic to a completely different kind of joy. As the first grandchild, there was something special

about the bond between the two of them. Each of his five grandchildren held a place in his heart.

Known throughout the community as a respected and sought-aner car detailer, Vic made his work a craft.

Individuals, dealerships, and automotive companies trusted his skill and dependability. When someone

wanted a car to shine and the job done right, Vic was the man they called. He built his reputation through

years of hard work and consistently outstanding service. When people wanted their vehicles detailed and

wanted the job done right, Vic was the man they called. And when he wasn't making cars shine, he was

cheering on his beloved San Francisco 49ers. Every game will bring a loving reminder of him.

Vic loved the Lord and treasured his church families at Second Baptist Church and as a longtime member of

Paso Robles Community Church. His faith and the fellowship he found there were important parts of his

life.

Vic was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Betty Jean Harris. He leaves to cherish his memory his

devoted wife of 46 years, Valerie E. •Val' Harris; his two loving daughters, Stephanie Daniel Mitchell 45

and Victoria Marie Albers 42 (Heath); his five beloved grandchildren, Neveah 22, Timmy 21, Alexis, 20

Elijah 16, Kaleo 3, and his expected great-granddaughter; and his dear sister, Michelle Pembrook.

Vic leaves his beloved mother-in-love, Lacy Fay Mitchell, whom he loved dearly. The love Vic had for Ms.

Mitchell was genuine and special, and their relationship went far beyond the traditional title of

mother-in-law. She was family in every sense of the word, and he treasured the bond they shared. Vic

leaves his brother and sisters-in-love, Steve Mitchell, Janet Adolphus, Sonya Brooks (Everett), Danette

Mitchell, and Phaedra Haynes. Although technically connected through marriage, those titles never defined

their relationships. They never thought of Vic as simply their brother-in-law •Vic was their brother. Their

bond was built on years of love, laughter, family memories, and genuine affection. Vic•s best friend, Blaine

Anderson, was like a brother to him. Their bond was built through years of shared experiences, laughter,

and loyalty, their friendship became family.

He leaves a host of nieces, nephews who all loved and cherished "Uncle Vic". He also leaves behind

extended family members, friends, customers, colleagues, and countless others whose lives were touched by

his presence. To know Vic was to know a man who loved deeply, worked hard, valued loyalty, and took

pride in what he did. His life cannot be measured simply by the number of years he lived, but by the lives he

touched, the family he loved, the friendships he maintained, the reputation he built, and the memories he

created. The hands that worked so hard may now rest, but the love of his heart remains with us always.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever our Vic.
