Jimmy Harris

Jimmy Harris, a devoted husband and cherished friend, passed away on March 6, 2026, in Southaven, Mississippi, at the age of 79. Born on May 2, 1946, in Tennessee, Jimmy was known for his unwavering work ethic and his love for life.

Jimmy's greatest joy came from his loving wife, Edith Harris, with whom he shared 47 beautiful years. Their bond was one forged in mutual respect and affection. Edie fondly recalls the beautiful cards he would choose for her birthdays and Christmases, each a testament to his thoughtfulness and love. As her best friend, Jimmy filled her life with warmth, laughter, and countless cherished memories, including many joyful days spent playing golf in Paris, TN, and at Pine Hill, Whitehaven, and Old Riverside. He was always eager to take on the course, sharing countless moments on the green with Edie as they enjoyed their mutual passion for golf.

The heart of Jimmy's personality was as bright as any clear day on the golf course. He was a loving man who made friends easily and was deeply respected by those who knew him. His friends often admired him for his genuine spirit, and he had a unique ability to bring people together, especially during weekends where laughter echoed over drinks and lively games of pool.

Jimmy's life was not without its challenges, having battled illness for the past year before peacefully departing this world. While he endured his struggles, he remained a source of strength for Edie, who will miss him dearly, cherishing every moment they spent together.

Jimmy's life legacy extends beyond his loving relationship with Edie. He was also the son of Amos and Jettie Harris and was part of a large family that included two sisters and six brothers. Though his parents and siblings have already preceded him in death, the love they shared will live on through the memories held dear by those who knew him.

As we remember Jimmy Harris, let us celebrate a life well-lived. He leaves behind a rich tapestry of memories, friendships, and love—touching lives and leaving a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. His laughter will forever resonate in the hearts of those who loved him, and his kind spirit will be sorely missed.
