In Loving Memory of William Danny Harris

William Danny Harris, born on November 5, 1956, in Memphis, Tennessee, to the late William (Bill) Harris and Joann (Sharp) Harris, peacefully departed this life on December 10, 2025, in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Danny was united in marriage to Adrienne (Knapp) Harris on May 25, 1979. Together, they fostered a warm and loving home. He was a dedicated member of the Apostolic United Church in North Little Rock, where he found community and fellowship.

Danny was known for his love of nature, enjoying fishing and hunting; he also had a passion for tinkering with electronics. A self-taught musician, he delighted in playing the banjo and keyboard, sharing music with those around him.

Danny leaves behind his beloved spouse, Adrienne Harris, as well as cherished children: Cynthia Joanne Johnston (Jason) and Todd Matson Harris (Mark Wills). He will be lovingly remembered by his four grandchildren: Josh Felts (Kathrine), Savannah Richardson (Zach), Jacob Felts, and Caleb Felts, along with eight great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

He is also survived by six siblings: Kathryn Hurley (Larry), Alice Bildner (Mark), Elisa Armstrong, Mark Harris (Bethany), Stephen Harris (Staci), and Alisa Draper (Jamie), and his beloved stepmother, Brenda (Knighten) Harris of Sheridan. Danny was fortunate to have many dear friends who enriched his life.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to 

 Apostolic United Church at:

Danny will be deeply missed, but his spirit and love for his family and friends will forever remain in their hearts.
