Ronald Keith Harris, 67, of The Bronx, New York began his journey to join our Heavenly Father on December 26, 2025 in Laurel, Maryland.


Son to the late Amie E. Pettie Harris and Joseph Harris. Brother to Rhonda, Sharon, Joseph, Cornelia, Jeffery, and his late brother Carlton whom led the way to be with the Lord just nine days before he began his own journey. Ronald was lovingly known as Uncle Keith to his 5 nieces, 10 nephews and 24 great nieces and nephews. Ronald was a devoted husband to his loving wife Beulah Harris, an unwaveringly loving father to his children Tiana, Mikhail, Yasmene, David, and a proud grandfather of 2.


As a young man, Ronald attended Bronx Seventh Day Adventist church where he participated as part of the pathfinders, youth choir, golden ambassadors drum corp and more. Being street savvy and an intellect, he blended then sharpened his skills working on NYC’s Wall Street, financial district, and as a consultant for various brokers within the World Trade Center. Ronald studied at John Jay College of criminal justice before dedicating himself to a life of service through law enforcement in New York State.


Ronald was a student of life with an appreciation for all things art to include photography, fashion and music. He was an all around athlete, a charismatic social butterfly, a foodie and a special kind of comedian. He was an admirer of God’s creations; those under sea, on land, with wings and amongst the planets and constellations. He demonstrated his passion and prowess through hobbies that he would share with loved ones bestowing endless memories, smiles and laughs upon us all.


It’s alright to say goodbye, but today we say

“I’ll see you later, when I meet you in heaven.”
