Bob Scott Harris, age 60, went home to Heaven on August 23, 2020, after a valiant, twenty-month battle with gastric esophageal cancer.  He was born on October 7, 1959, in Mecklenburg County, NC,  to James Wilson and Nannie Cooper Harris, both preceding him in death.

He was employed with Duke Energy for thirty-six years and retired in December 2018. He enjoyed his work and time spent with co-workers.

Along with a love for fishing, golfing, woodworking, he also enjoyed showering love on his four grandbabies..

Bob loved his church and the brothers and sisters in Christ he had there.  His battle with cancer exemplified his faith and love for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Bob is survived by his wife of 38 years, Patti Northcutt Harris of Wilmington. NC, two sons and their wives, Bobby and Julie Harris of Apex, NC,  Ryan and Allison Harris of Hampstead, NC, three brothers and their wives, Jim and Marian Harris of New Zealand, Greg and Michelle Harris of Tarboro, NC, and Paul Harris of Burlington, WI.

Bob’s four grandchildren, Emerson Claire Harris, Lincoln Scott Harris, Nora Louise Harris, and Annie Elizabeth Harris, brought him much joy.
