Pulaski County
RANDY CARL HARRIS JR., left us far too soon at the age of 35, on Friday December 1st, 2017. He is preceded in death by his brother, Ryan Carl Harris, grandfather, Arthur Ray Harris Sr. and grandmother, Claudia Freeman.
Randy is survived by his two precious sons, Cody and Ashton Harris and their mother, Andrea Harris; his mother, Korrine Lancaster of Maumelle, Ark.; father, Randy Harris Sr. and stepmother, Tina Harris of Cabot, Ark.; sister, Amber McKnight and husband Dr. Robert McKnight of Maumelle, Ark.; sister Ashley Jones and husband, Jason Jones of Bend, Ore.; sister Jaclyn Harris, of Cabot; four nieces and four nephews.
Randy was born February 16, 1982 in Little Rock, Ark., and grew up in Maumelle, Ark. He was a 2000 graduate from Oak Grove High School and studied Business Management at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock. No one ever doubted how much Randy loved the Lord and even as a young boy carried his Bible everywhere. When Randy had spare time, you could find him deer hunting, fishing, playing with his boys and spending time with his family. His smile could light up a room and his quick wit and sense of humor kept many laughing. But what he will be remembered for most is his beautiful heart.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 9th, 2017, from 11 a.m. until 12 noon with a Celebration of Life service to follow at 12 p.m. (noon) at McArthur Assembly of God Church, Jacksonville, Arkansas.
