Harris
1940 ~ 2018
Steve Reynolds Harris was born February 22, 1940 in Salt Lake City to Fern Reynolds and Steve Harris. He passed away comfortably at his home in Cottonwood Heights on November 24, 2018 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
Steve truly loved his family. He cherished visits from his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was married to Suzanne "Sara" Young Harris for 58 years. He worked closely with his daughter Stefani Moncur (Dean) and son Sean Harris (Hilary) for decades. He was "Grandpa" to Ryan (Laura), Tyler (Jessica), Jamie, Nick (Cachae), Davis and Mia. And "Papa-G" to 8 great-grandchildren.
As a child, Steve enjoyed playing baseball and collecting baseball cards. He ran around Salt Lake with many lifelong friends whom he saw almost daily until he became ill. In adulthood, he had a passion for all things cars. He loved to drive, race and sell them. Steve was successful in the car business for over 50 years. In 1977, he opened Steve Harris Imports. He owned and operated this local icon for 36 years until his retirement in 2013. "The Greek" loved to hate the game of golf and was a member of Alpine Country Club. He also loved to fish, play cards with friends and spend time with his family. Steve and Suzanne, along with family and friends, traveled the world for business, golf and fishing.
Steve's parents, son Steve James, siblings and many close friends preceded him in death.
A private graveside service will be held for family members on Sunday, December 2, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at Larkin Sunset Gardens on Dimple Dell Road.
A celebration of his life for friends and family will be held Sunday, December 2 at Fratelli Ristorante (9236 Village Shop Dr. Sandy, UT) from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The family expresses appreciation to the staff at the University of Utah Hospital and Huntsman Cancer Institute as well as the hospice caregivers for their kind and professional attention. In lieu of flowers, we request donations be made to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Steve's name.

I have fond memories of Steve, we worked together at European Motors, and at Steve Harris Imports. Steve was a great mentor.
I have great respect for Steve, and had some good times in and out of the work place. My condolences goes out to the Family.
