Justin entered this life on September 25, 1976, in Tucson, AZ to James and Diana Harris. Raised in Easley, South Carolina, he developed a strong work ethic that would carry him throughout his life. Justin started his career with Goodyear before making a significant commitment to his country by enlisting in the U.S. Army in May of 1999. He proudly served until his retirement in November of 2020, dedicating over two decades to his military service. Justin was a devoted family man, cherishing every moment spent with his wife and children. He created countless memories filled with laughter, love, good food, and gaming with his children. His passions extended beyond his family; in his spare time, he enjoyed working on muscle cars, with a particular fondness for his 1968 Mustang.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his loving wife, Sarah Harris. Together they were planning to celebrate 26 years of marriage in December. He leaves behind his two children, Jason Harris and Kailyn Harris; siblings, Tracey (Paul) Bell, Ruth (Ross) Howard, and Sara (Will) Camp.
Arrangements are in the care of McReynolds Nave & Larson Funeral Home.
