Mr. James Ray “Skeeter” Harris, 51, of Murray, passed away on Sunday, March 26, 2023 at Spring Creek Healthcare in Murray.
James was born on January 30, 1972 in Elkton, KY to the late Billy Ray and Marilyn Smoker Harris. James graduated from Murray High School. One of his favorite things to do was talk to people. He was a friend to everyone he met and always wanted a hug. He loved motorcycles and always dreamed of doing things beyond his ability. He always said he disliked the fact that his mental disabilities prevented him from living the life he wanted. Now he can do all those things that his earthly body wouldn’t allow. He is truly free and will be dearly missed.
Words written from Brett Harris, brother of Skeeter…
“My Younger Older Brother”
I always had a shadow following me when I was younger. He was always there playing, fishing, swimming, and everything else that brothers did together. He was older than me though he always said I was meant to be the older brother. We shared a bedroom and bunk beds together and we would fight a lot but I guess that’s what brothers do. I will miss you my older younger brother. I love you, your little brother.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
Those left to cherish his memory include his brother, Brett Harris of Murray and his sister, Diana Greene of Murray. He is also survived by nieces and nephews, Johnny Clint Harris, Kayla Henson, Jayden Greene.
Private family services will be held at a later date.
