A Celebration of Life for Mark Lee Harris is 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, 2016, at Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home Chapel. Pastor Chris Gordon will officiate. Burial follows in Waukomis Cemetery.
Mark was born Feb. 28, 1951, in Enid to David Emerson and Elnora Faye (Dick) Harris, and died Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016, in Memphis, Tenn. He grew up in Fairmont, where he attended Zion Lutheran Grade School. He graduated from high school at Garber. He attended Oklahoma State University, graduating in 1974 with a degree in automotive technology. After graduating from college, he accepted a job with Carrier Corporation (later United Technologies) and moved to Memphis, Tenn., where he worked as an area supervisor until his retirement.
After moving to Memphis, he met Sheree Sanderson, whom he married in 1978. From this union there was born, a son, Brett Emerson Harris and a daughter, Holly Diane Harris.
Mark was a longtime member of Pleasant Valley Christian Union Church and came to know Christ at a young age.
Mark was a loving father, brother and uncle. He loved cars, pickup trucks, and Harley-Davidson motorcycles (not necessarily in that order).
He was a loyal friend, and remained in close touch throughout the years with David "Barney" Anderson, Monte McHendry, Clifford Sohl, and Leon and Ronnie Fowler.
Mark loved the wind in his hair, hence his love of motorcycles. He was a wonderful father, and a proud parent of Brett and Holly. He was strong of character, had a great sense of humor, was sentimental, humble, loyal, responsible, frugal, a dog lover, and he loved Oklahoma.
Surviving him are his son, Brett Emerson Harris, Nashville, Tenn.; his sister, Barbara Ebert and husband, Jerry, Hennessey; his niece Leslie Eren Russell and husband, Mike, Choctaw; his niece, Susan Elisabeth Ebert and husband, Steven Stark, Oklahoma City; five grand-nephews, Dax Cooper, Deven Cooper, Mikey Russell, Severin Stark and Wolfgang Stark; and one grandniece, Aubrey Russell; as well as several aunts and cousins.
Preceding him in death were his daughter, Holly Diane Harris; his parents, David Emerson Harris and Elnora Faye Harris; and his grandparents, William Emerson and Mary "Molly" Elizabeth Harris; and Finus Orlo and Myrtle Louisa Dick.
Memorials may be made in the memory of Mark to St Jude's Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tenn., or to the Methodist Hospice Residence, Memphis, Tenn., with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
