Michael Gregory Harris, 74, of Charles Town, WV, passed away on March 12, 2026, at Jefferson Medical Center.

Michael is survived by his wife, Ann. Mike was the father of Jane, David, Terry, Carmen, and Michael Jr. He was the grandfather of Monique, Adonica, Cierra, and Kyla. Michael's siblings include Carlos, Keith, Darlene, and Pamela.

Born in Winston-Salem, NC, on August 16, 1951, Mike's life was characterized by service and spanned 4 countries and several states.
