Scott Michael Harris

June 22, 1972 – November 10, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Scott Michael Harris, who passed away on November 10, 2026, following a brief and sudden illness. He was 54 years old.

Scott was a devoted and loving father whose son, Michael, was the greatest love and pride of his life. Being a father was one of the most important parts of who Scott was, and the love he had for his son was evident to everyone who knew him.

Scott was a kind, warm, and loving man with a heart that made people feel welcome. He had an unmistakable booming laugh, a laugh that could fill a room and bring a smile to the faces of those around him. That laugh, his warmth, his kindness, and his unique personality will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Scott was the beloved son of Stella Harris and the late Michael Harris. He leaves behind his son, Michael Harris; his brother, Dean Harris and his wife Michele; his niece, Olivia Harris; and many beloved cousins, relatives, and dear friends who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him.

Scott was also preceded in death by his beloved godfather, Theodore Xiarhos, and his grandmother, Angeliki Xiarhos, both of whom held a special place in his heart.

Although Scott's time with us was far too short and his passing came far too suddenly, the love he gave, the memories he created, and the laughter he shared will remain with those who knew him. He will be remembered not only for the man he was, but for the love he gave so freely to his family and friends.

Scott will be loved, remembered, and missed beyond words. His booming laugh may now be silent, but it will forever echo in the hearts of those who loved him.

Rest peacefully, Scott. You will never be forgotten.
