Everett Harris Obituary
January 21, 1986 - December 25, 2021
Matthew 5:16 says "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Everett L. Harris surely shared his light and good with this world wherever he went.
Everett "Bubba" Lamone Harris, 35, of Charlottesville, Virginia, received his heavenly wings on December 25, 2021, surrounded in love by his mother and fiancé at the UVA Medical Center. A wonderful son, fiancé, cousin, nephew and friend, Everett was born on January 21, 1986, in Charlottesville, Virginia. He was preceded by his father, Zand Vest; his stepfather, Kenny Martin; his maternal grandparents, James and Virginia Harris; his paternal grandparents, Patsy and George Vest; one aunt, Elizabeth Harris; one uncle, Joseph Harris; a great-aunt, Theresa Banks; and great-uncles, Paul Banks and the Rev. Henry Banks.
He leaves to cherish his memory his mother, Rosa Martin; his fiancée, Charlsie Stratton; and their fur family, Sanka, Mocha and O'Shea. As well as two aunts, Sharon Harris of Afton, Virginia, and Patsy Rainey of Emporia, Virginia; four uncles, Stanley Harris of Selana City, Kansas, Alfred Harris (Joyce) of Waynesboro, Virginia, Dale Harris (Tammy) of Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Raymond Harris (Doris) of Lumberton, North Carolina; great- aunts, Mamie Banks of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Melinda Banks of Waynesboro, Virginia; great-uncles, Guy Banks (Debra) of Waynesboro, Virginia, and Robert Banks (Ordee) of Providence, Rhode Island; two cousins as brothers, Marcus Harris and James Miles, and other cousins, friends and relatives.
Everett had the biggest heart, best smile and sweetest spirit. He led with great humor and was always ready to make a new friend. Everett was an amazing gift to this world and those he touched and will be immeasurably missed by all who knew and loved him.

I have known Everette since kindergarten and we were neighbors for many years (Ridge Street). Literally just hearing about his passing. Prayers for strength and healing to Miss Rosa and family.
