Sonny was a member of Faith Presbyterian Church and worked with the youth. He was so kind to our oldest daughter, Hannah, who has ASD. She always felt like she was an outsider, but he always made her feel included.
Sonny made everyone feel important.
He will be sorely missed.

I am sorry I will be out of town and unable to attend the Celebration of Life of a wonderful friend. Sonny could always make you laugh, but was also a quiet soul when comforting friends. We will miss you Sonny, but we will see you again one day. Sending love and prayers for the whole Harris family. Sonny will be remembered well by so many.
