Joseph attended Sylacauga City Schools and BB Comer High School, carrying with him the roots of the community that shaped his early years.
He later earned his CDL certification and worked in the construction industry. His work reflected steady determination and a willingness to do what needed to be done.
Above all else, Joseph cherished and loved his children, Carley and Wayne, holding close the everyday moments that make a family’s love feel safe and sure.
Joseph also found peace and joy outdoors. He loved the simple freedom of being outside, and those who knew him best will remember him as a “magician” when it came to fishing, as well as his love of hunting. These pastimes suited his patient focus and appreciation for the natural world.
Joseph is survived by his father, Jason Harris, Sr. (Che); his mother, Paula Harris; his stepfather, Jerry Barnett; his spouse, Alaina Pinkston; his children, Carley Harris and Wayne Harris; his brothers, Jacob Harris (Brandy) and Jason Harris, Jr.; his grandfathers, Michael Harris and William Morgan; his grandparents, Alice and Clark Morris; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Patricia Morgan; his great-grandfather, Woody Harris; and his great-grandmother, India Stewart.
