Dean Carlton Harris was born on August 31, 1962, in Pensacola, FL. He traveled to be in the presence of God on October 19, 2021 from his home in Cantonment, FL. Dean married his soul mate and love of his life, Georgette Harris on August 8, 1987. Together they had two beautiful children, Brandon and Mariena, who later gave Dean a second son (in law) Mike Kight.
Dean grew up in the Farm Hill community with a large family of cousins, who along with his best friend Bob Baggett, he considered his brothers and sisters. Dean was an active youngster playing baseball at the Cantonment Ballpark where he held the record for the most home runs in many age brackets. A few of which are still unbroken. When Dean started driving, everything else in his world stopped. He then discovered his true passion of deer hunting which quickly took all of his attention.
Dean and Bob traveled many of miles and spent many of hours in the woods. They were always searching for their next run to let their dogs out on, in hopes to score their next trophy buck to brag about. Dean was a life-long member of Bell Fountain Hunting Club, Barrineau Park Hunting Club and Becks Lake Hunting Club until those clubs were respectively dissolved. He was also a member of Nims Fork Hunting Club and a founding member of Turkey Flat Hunting Club. In most recent years, his favorite hunting spots, which included running dogs, was in Blackwater with many of his good friends and his son Brandon. He was also a co-leaser of property in Alabama with his long-time friend Toby Thompson.
Dean was a 32nd degree Master Mason of the Scottish Rite and a past member of the Cantonment Lodge #322. He was also a member of Farm Hill United Methodist Church. Dean was a Christian and loved his Lord and Savior. On October 5, 2021, Dean rededicated his life to the Lord and was baptized at his favorite spot, his race car shop in his backyard.
Though Dean was happiest in the woods, he was also an avid race fan. Dean drove his own race car for a few years. He supported and worked on Bob’s race cars for a lot of years, as well as another life-long friend Bill Campbell. When Dean’s own pride and joy Brandon was old enough to see over the steering wheel, Dean, Bob, and Bill got to work and built Brandon his first race car which he won many-many races in at a young age. Then after years of her asking and waiting, Dean reluctantly built his baby girl, Mariena her first race car. She was able to win a race and finally join her brother and Daddy in their passion for racing and building cars.
Dean was a great friend to many and would help anyone that needed help. He has many-many close friends some of whom he has been friends with since grade school. Dean also made friends along the way through jobs that he has held. He worked for many years in construction building houses then moved on to industrial construction working for Fluor Daniels and Mansfield, just to name a few.
Dean went to work for Escambia County Road Department in 1994 working as an equipment operator. In 1997 he became a Correctional Officer and worked for the Escambia County Road Prison until his retirement in June 2018.
Until the final breath I take, you will be living in my heart.
