Cookies and later found joy working with children at Bright Start Learning Center.

Known for his infectious smile and warm demeanor, Jahaan was a loving soul who never

knew a stranger. He was exceptionally kind, respectful, and deeply caring, touching the

lives of all who knew him. His passion for sports was evident, with the Pittsburgh Steelers

and the Alabama Crimson Tide holding special places in his heart for football, and the LA

Lakers as his favorite basketball team.

In his leisure time, Jahaan enjoyed playing video games with his brothers, with whom he

shared a close bond. He will be dearly missed by his brothers Ke'Juan, Jayon, and Dayon

Harris, Marquawn Conner, Tyrone and Kemonty Ackerman; sisters Keywana Conner and

DaJanee Harris; grandmother Deena L. Harris; grandfathers Horace L. Johnson and

Butts, Kamika (Michael) Sharp, and Kiara Gossett; great aunts Mary Smith, Dolores, and

nephews, and special friends including Laraine Weaver.

Jahaan was preceded in death by his great grandmothers Ruth Harris Mack and Lillie Mae

Gossett; great grandfathers Charles L. Gossett, James Marcum, and William R. Mack; great

aunts Lenna Solomon and Charlotte Leigh; grandmother Julia Ann Gossett; Uncle Jamie

Garrett; Aunt Jasmine N. Muhammad; and cousin Tonique Thomas.

Though he has departed this life, Jahaan's spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved

him. He will forever be remembered for his gentle spirit, infectious laughter, and the kindness

he extended to everyone around him. May he rest in eternal peace. Pastor Timothy Blair Williams officiating.
