Kevin Woodrow Harris

July 20, 1962 - April 21, 2026

 It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Kevin Woodrow Harris, 62, of Daytona Beach, Florida, who peacefully entered eternal rest on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at Halifax Health Medical Center, surrounded by his loving family.

Kevin W. Harris, Sr., affectionately known as “Smoke,” was born on July 20, 1962, in DeLand, Florida, to the late Nathaniel Harris, Sr., and the late Josephine Gibson-Harris.

Kevin received his education in the Volusia County school system. In 1995, he relocated to Daytona Beach, Florida, where he later united in marriage with the love of his life, Shalonda Tillman-Harris, on August 7, 1998. From this union, a beautiful legacy of seven children was born.

Kevin was a man of many interests and passions. In his younger years, he enjoyed playing football, basketball, and baseball. He found great joy in spending time with his family and friends, attending church, and relaxing on Sundays while cheering on his favorite team, the New England Patriots.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Josephine Gibson-Harris and Nathaniel Harris, Sr.; his son, Keshod Harris; and his siblings, Angela Harrell, Maydell McGregor, Darryl Harris, and Bruce Harris.

He is also survived by his siblings, Adenia Harris of Daytona Beach, Florida, Oretha Wilson (Gosnel) of DeLand, Florida, Kenneth Harris (Kimberly) of Deltona, Florida, and Nathaniel Harris, Jr. of DeLand, Florida; his aunts, Ida Parkerson of Palm Bay, Florida, Martha Coleman of DeLand, Florida, Annie Ruth Reeves of Saint Helena Island, South Carolina, Joyce Williams (Woodrow), Beverly Gilliard (Rodney), all of Daytona Beach, Florida, Angela Eason (Shiloh) of Jacksonville, Florida, and Kim Murrell (Ozell) of Daytona Beach, Florida; his uncle, Calvin Mitchell, Sr. of Palm Coast, Florida; his great-aunt, Recella Harper of DeLand, Florida; his godsons, Caleb Thomas and Khalil Thomas of Lake Helen, Florida; 11 grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.
