He excelled at anything he put his mind to.
Yuself was preceded in death by his biological parents, Bobby and Louise; his mother, Mary Adell Harris whom he loved to the moon and back, and his grandmother, Mrs. Essie Mae Harris.

Yusef had such a great sense of humor! He would always have me laughing, even when I wasn´t feeling my best. I´m so glad I had the opportunity to know him. I can remember us sitting in classroom and he would call my name.... I knew if he was calling my name he was about to do something funny... Sure enough, indeed he was doing something funny.. I looked backed..smh.. & he was doing the butterfly while sitting in his desk.. I would hype him up by saying... go Yusef, go Yusef & we would both burst out in laughter.... He´ll be greatly missed... but never forgotten!!
