Robert "Buck" Harris

Mr. Robert Harris affectionately known as Buck 76, of Mooresville, NC gained his eternal wings on Friday October 17, 2025. He was born January 31, 1949, to the late Paul Sloan and Elizabeth Harris of Iredell County, North Carolina
Buck was educated in the Iredell County School System and attended Unity High School in Statesville, North Carolina. Throughout his life, he worked for several companies including Burlington Mills, Suburbia Print, and most recently McDonald's, where he served faithfully as a service person.
Buck had a deep love for his family, always showing his devotion through his protection and care. He made sure that no harm would ever come to those he loved. Though he was not a man of many words, he was a true jokester, bringing laughter to all who knew him with his quick wit and humor.
He enjoyed hunting and fishing, but his greatest passion was his collection of guns. Later in life, Buck answered his spiritual calling and dedicated himself to the ministry, changing his life and walking in his faith.
He was preceded in death by his paternal sibling: Harry Winford, Sheila Sloan, Sharon Harris, Shannon Sloan, Sherry Stewart and a sister-in-law Bonita Wilson.
