Frederick James Harris

Fred passed away peacefully in the arms of his beloved wife Alex, on April 14, 2019.

He was born in Calgary, spent his younger years in Black Diamond, and later moved back to Calgary. Fred has a huge circle of family and friends and brought so much joy to everyone.  He was spontaneous, larger than life and incredibly strong in so many ways. Fast Freddie enjoyed road trips, driving his car, riding his motorcycle, golfing, boating, blasting his music, and playing frisbee with his dog, Chevy. Fred leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and generosity.  His hands and his heart were always full. He is survived by his wife Alex; his sister, Margaret (Ole); and many much-loved cousins. Fred was predeceased by his parents, Fred Sr. and Charlotte.
