Tommy served honorably in the U.S. Navy from 1967 to 1969. After his military service, he moved from New Mexico to Texas in search of job opportunities and to raise his family. Tommy's career as a street sweeper was marked by his commitment to maintaining the beauty of the communities he served.

He was not only known for his work but also for his many interests and hobbies. Tommy had a passion for collecting unique rocks, a love for gardening, and enjoyed feeding and watching hummingbirds, which brought him great joy and tranquility.

Tommy is survived by his beloved wife, Janet Kay (Muse) Harris, and his cherished children: Michelle and her husband Manuel Montecinos, Christina Harris and her wife Jena Slocum, Tommy Harris and his wife Yazi, and David Harris and his wife Katie. His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Paul Montecinos and his wife Becca, Maricella Montecinos and her husband Michael Whitehead, and Manuel Montecinos, as well as Alexus, Brooke, Charles, and Samantha Harris. Tommy proudly welcomed three great-grandchildren into the world, Elijah, Cameron, and a third expected in the fall, bringing further blessings to his loving family.

He was predeceased by his parents, Gloria Hope Schrimsher and Thomas William Harris, as well as his brothers, Jimmy and Frayne Brenham, and Bruce Harris. The void left by their passing is felt deeply, yet the memories they created together will be a source of strength for his family.
