Sarah Harris Obituary
Beloved daughter Sarah Harris, 46, died January 22, 2020 from an act of domestic violence. She is survived by her parents, Curtis L. Harris and Deborah L. Trout. Sarah was born in Germany and grew up in Kansas and Minnesota. She attended the University of Colorado and graduated with a degree in biology. She then made Denver her home and pursued a successful career in medical device sales. Sarah loved the outdoors and international travel. She ran marathons on five continents - in Antarctica, Ireland, Chile, South Africa and the U.S. She was an avid fan of the CU Buffaloes, Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies. Sarah also loved animals, especially her sweet beagle Jasper. She volunteered her time and talents at state running events, Girls Inc. and Girls on the Run. Sarah will be remembered for her beautiful smile, natural charisma and adventurous spirit. She is missed by family and many, many friends.

I read this obituary with my eyes wide open, completely stunned. I met Sarah when we first moved to Denver. She from Boulder and me from Honolulu. We went on a couple of dates and decided our friendship was more important to both of us. Though it has been a long while since we last spoke, I will never forget her inner kindness and obvious, outward generosity. Nor her love of animals and the great outdoors. To my dear friend Sarah, please rest in peace. God be with you and your family and your friends. I hope to see you again someday.

The saying goes that you may forget certain things about a person, but you never forget the way they made you feel. Sarah always made me feel good. We can all get caught up in life but our true essence remains. So Sarah...thank you for who you truly are because that is what I carry forward, that is what shines through and endures.

Sarah we always had a special bond with dogs and cars together. I will miss our random connections and the excitement we shared.
