Curtis Creed Harris

Curtis Creed Harris, 77, of Cleveland, Tennessee, went home to be with the Lord, peacefully surrounded by his family at his home on Monday, March 27, 2023. Curtis was born on March 23, 1946 to the late Alden and Ruby Harris. He was the brother of Muriel (Marie) Harris, Don (late wife Francis) Harris, and Bob (Phyllis) Harris.

Curtis was a 1964 graduate from Bradley Central High School where he played football. He retired from UPS after 38 years of service where he was best known by his CB handle, “Exhaust Pipe”. He enjoyed spending time in the mountains with his family, loved riding motorcycles and was a race car enthusiast. He was an active member of Ridgeview Baptist Church and truly loved the Lord.

He is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart, Patsy Ruth Harris, three daughters, Karen Harris-Edwards, Amy Harris-Filyaw, Kelly Harris Young (Brad). Left to cherish the many memories are his beloved grand children: Jessica Bonner (Andrew), Corey Young (Schyler), Logan Young (Anna), & Jarod Young, and Amber Filyaw, and four great grandchildren: Isaiah Edwards, Karson & Oliver Young, and Zander Young. And though, papaw is now in heaven, he was so excited to be adding another special great granddaughter, Autumn Emmaline Bonner in May who will know all about her great papaw’s legacy.

Curtis’ family will receive friends from 12pm until 3pm on Thursday March 30th at Ridgeview Baptist Church with a Celebration of Life Service to follow at 3pm. Rev. Ken Purdie will be officiating. He will be laid to rest following the service at Beaty Cemetery.
