Jr. Seth E. Harris Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Seth was born on December 17, 1970, in Dover, NJ. He was the son of Seth E. Harris, Sr. and Norma J. (Phillips) Harris of Hackettstown, NJ. He is survived by his sister Sheri A. (Harris) Billows and husband John Billows of Great Meadows, his nephew and niece, Matthew and Madison Billows of Great Meadows and stepbrother, William Randall Harris of New York.
Seth grew up in Great Meadows, living on the dairy farm where he helped his father (Pal). He loved caring for the cows, calves, pigs, horses and his donkey, Jack. He was adventurous, enjoying riding his bike and 4-wheeler throughout the farm. Very structured and set in his routine, Seth would often sit in the jeep and beep the horn to remind Seth Sr. it was time for lunch or dinner.
His adventurous sense of self persisted in his adult life, finding joy within traveling. He enjoyed many cruises to Bermuda, trips to Florida, Wildwood to watch the Monster Truck shows, and Cape May with his family.
Seth moved to Alpha, NJ in 2010 after the passing of his mother. He found a sense of belonging living at the Alpha Group Home who in turn became his chosen family. They enabled him to pursue his hobbies and passions of fishing, biking, Special Olympic competitions, bowling, dancing and playing basketball.
Seth left a lasting impression on everyone he met. With his infectious personality, he always made new friends wherever he went. And everyone always remembered Seth. We would like to say thank you to Seth for teaching us how to love, how to accept, and most importantly how to laugh and be happy. We will live loudly in the memory of you.
A viewing will be held on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm at Cochran Funeral Home in Hackettstown, NJ. A private burial for family will be held on Thursday.
The family requests, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trinity United Methodist Church- 213 Main St. Hackettstown, NJ 07840 in Seth's memory.

I am so very sorry to hear that Sethie has passed. So many memories of him from our childhood and even more from seeing him in church with your Mom! He was so sweet and he could light up a room with his smile. The world is a bit dimmer without him in it. Saying prayers for healing for your family.

Seth you were a wonderful person. Your laugh your smile. You were always so pleasant to be around. Showing me pictures of the watches you wanted on your tablet. You are and always will be the gentleman carrying the ladies bags from your group home. You were very helping with all that you did while you worked. Making people laugh. You will be missed. Rest in Peace buddy
