It is with heavy hearts, that we announce the sudden passing of our dearest Michael Harris, 73, on February 23rd, 2025. He was a native of Bogalusa, LA., and a resident of Mobile, AL. for most of his life.

Michael was a graduate of Murphy High School (Class of '69), then went on to get a degree in Industrial Electricity. He loved God, fishing, history, and spending time with his family. To know him, was to love him, as he never met a stranger, except for his strange children.

He is preceded in death by his parents, John Paul Harris and Polly Ruth Harris, his brother, Ronald Wayne Harris, and his sisters, Diana Jean Harris and Rebecca Ann Martin, and niece Janice Lynn Potter.
