OBITUARY
Joshua R. Harris, born on April 2, 1979, passed away unexpectedly on December 6, 2024, due to the effects of an acute severe asthma attack. He was the beloved son of Lori A. Domonkos (Victor) and the late, Richard C. Harris and a cherished sibling to Brendan (Shannon) Harris, Michael (Pamela) Harris, and Rick M. Harris. Joshua left us with tremendous love for his daughter, Brianna L. Harris. He was a funny uncle to his nieces and nephews: Savannah, Heather, Mikenzie, Allison, Patrick, Thomas, and Raegen Harris. His playful spirit and infectious laughter will be deeply missed by all who knew him. On October 7, 2023, Josh married the love of his life, Thea Baker. Together they had tremendous love for each other and their beloved dog, Moose. Professionally, Joshua found fulfillment working at Komodo Reptiles in Verplank, New York, where he could expand his knowledge of reptiles. He was a passionate breeder of bearded dragons. Joshua was especially proud to be among the 2% of addicts who go on to live normal, drug-free lives. He credited his recovery to the unwavering love and support of his family, particularly his mother, who stood by him during his most challenging times. Joshua's smile and ability to bring laughter into the lives of others will forever be remembered. He leaves behind a legacy of resilience and love that will continue to inspire those who knew him. Rest in peace, Joshua. You will be missed.
