Harris, was born on January 25, 1954 in Rock Hill South Carolina to the late Jerome J. and Dorothy Mae House Harris, Sr. He departed this life, Sunday, September 13, 2020 on his oldest grandson's birthday, Jermaine Harris. Jerome, as he was affectionately known, attended the public schools of Richland County. Mr. Harris would have been a gradate of C.A. Johnson High School in 1982, but he had to step up and be the man of the house and help his mother rear his two younger siblings. He was well known, loved and very appreciated by his family and community. They knew Jerome as a kind, funny jokester who liked to have a good time. He enjoyed watching football and was always rooting for the NFL Red Skins. Jerome was a retired avid painter in the Columbia area, where he helped paint and remodel thousands of houses and buildings in the community. He was preceded in death by both his parents, Dorothy Mae Harris, Jerome J. Harris, Sr, his brother, Robert E. “Shug” Harris and his middle daughter, Crystal Taylor. Left to cherish his beloved memories are: his only son, Jarvis Mobley (Betty); two daughters, Chenova Harris (Deloris Harris) and Jareca Sumter (Alma Sumter); two step sons, three step-daughters; his two sisters, Barbara A. Welch and Mary Hale, twelve grandchildren and three great grandchildren; and a host of loving nieces, nephews, and other loving relatives and friends who share in the family’s grief caused by his untimely departure. Special thanks to his sister Mary Hale, and her two daughters Kentrella and Mirakle Harris who spent the last three years helping take care of Jerome while he was dealing with his illness. Please leave the family your condolences and prayers. The Harris family, acknowledges with grateful appreciation, all of your kind expressions of love and sympathy. Thank you for helping us care for our families. A. A. Dicks, Sr. and Staff.
