Jon Michael Harris

July 15, 1961 — April 21, 2024

Jon Michael "Big Fluff" Harris, 62, joined his family in heaven on April 21, 2024. Born on July 15, 1961. He was predeceased by his mom, Jane; stepfather, Ray; father, Jerry; uncles, Sammy and Mike; Granny and Granddaddy, Lucille and Enoch; and cousin, Mac. He is survived by his brothers, Jerry (Janet) and Joey; his nephews, Jake (Ana), Josh (Danielle), Jesse (Hallie); and niece, Jackie; his aunts, Nancy (Warren) and Virginia; his cousins, Sam, Scott, and Celena (Ray); and many that called him Uncle Jon; his son, Lawrence; his wife, Frankie; his step daughters, Cynthia (Reid) and Amanda (Jerrod); and seven grandchildren; one great-grandchild; a great-niece and great-nephew; and at least a million friends.

Jon graduated from Meadowbrook High School, served as an Air Traffic Controller in the United States Navy, and operated his drywall construction company for many years.

Jon Harris was Jon Harris. It's as simple as that. He loved his family. He loved his friends, and everybody loved him back. He made you feel good about yourself. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge, a true master at getting to the bottom line, a keen observer, and master of sarcasm.

Jon loved to fish. But it wasn't about catching. It was about being with folks while he fished. From his early days on the Rappahannock River through all the episodes and antics on his beloved Fish Circus, there was never a dull moment. He brought sunshine to us all. And now those days will be a little darker. Goodbye for now Jon. We love you!
