Obituary

JOSEPH KEITH HARRIS was born  to  Lilly-Mae Jones and  Joseph Harris on August 10, 1961, in Baltimore, Maryland. After a sudden illness, Joe Harris entered eternal rest on November 4, 2024.
Joseph received his education in Baltimore City Public Schools.
Joe learned a trade in roofing at an early age. After he mastered his gift he  went  on  to  start  his  own  roofing  business  -  H&H  Roofing.  Joe  Harris was a man of many talents and he didn't play about his finances. Joe Harris loved  the  streets  of  B-more,  but  he  was  a  go-getter,  his  favorite  place  to chill,  watch  the  game,  and  talk  trash  with  his  buddies  was  Patterson  Park and  North  Avenue.  Joe  had  many  nicknames  that  wifey  and  friends  used to  call  him  "Joe  Harris"  was  one  of  them.  One  day while  Joe Harris was hanging out at his favorite spot his brother-in-law Wayne rolled up on him and  called  him  by his  government name  "Man"  you  should  have seen how
fast he ran  to  the truck!!! to  tell Wayne that they don't know him by his government name. One thing for certain and two things for sure Joe Harris loved his wife (Baby) and Joe Harris as she called him loved each other for more than 40 years. It was an honor to be his wife.
Everyone  who  knew  Joe  Harris  loved  "him  and  he  loved"  them  back. One of his sayings was "Go talk to my wife". Joe Harris was a jokester and a legend. Ask his second wife Darlene W! Joe didn't play about his kids, one of his most precious memories was when he walked his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day. Joe Harris "loved life".
Joe  also  had  a  serious  side  to  him  and  he  knew  things  weren't  always gonna  be  perfect  all  the  time,  Wifey  would  always  tell  him  "if  you  love something set it free. If it comes back, then it's meant to be." And with God on our side, our vows stood the test of time.
Joe  Keith   Harris  was  preceded  in  death  by  his  mother,  Lilly-Mae Harris;   sister,   Roberta;   brother,   Sylvester;   great-nephew, Errique;   and niece, Kierra.
Joe Harris leaves to cherish his memories his wife, Brenda L. Overbey- Harris;  his  father,  Joseph  Harris;  7  children,  Deon,  Ja'Keisha,  Keith  Jr., Tyshawn, Shatona, Jamel and Shaleah; 24 grandchildren; 3 sisters, Joanne, Jeanette  and  Delphine;  2  sons-in-law,  Alex  and  Kevin;  4  sisters-in-law, Charlene,  Debra,  Mona  and  Kat;  5  brothers-in-law,  Andrew,  James,  Troy, De  Wayne  and  Norris;  nieces,  nephews,  great-nieces,  great-nephews,  aunts, uncles, cousins, family and friends.
