Steven Harris Obituary
Steven Richard Harris, age 68, died in a tragic head on collision on Sunday evening August 24, 2014 leaving behind his wife, Margaret Harris of 50 years and two grown children, four grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. Steve is also survived by his brother James H. Harris and his wife Nancy. In 2009, Steve retired after 42 years of police service including 28 years as Redmond Chief of Police. After his retirement, Steve engaged in security and management consulting but primarily continued his passion for waterfowl hunting and spending time with his family and dogs. Steve was always outgoing, gregarious and engaging. He loved to dance and had a remarkable smile and laugh. He will be greatly missed by his family, many friends and colleagues. A Memorial Service celebrating Steve's life will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2014 at Washington Cathedral in Redmond, WA. The service will begin at 1:00 p.m. and reception will follow.

I first met Steve when he became Chief of the Redmond Police. (I was a judge in Redmond). I realized right away that he was a exceptional professional and a great leader. It wasn't long before he became a good friend. Steve was just a wonderful person to know. Many years after I last saw him, I asked Steve if it would be ok for my son to call from California and talk to him about being a police officer. He took the time like it was the most important thing he had to do. That was typical of the gentleman I knew. My sincere condolences to his family, who I know he adored. I'm sorry I will be out of state during the services.
