Eric David Harris was born on April 9th, 1981. He was the 18 year old son of Wayne Nelson Harris and
Katherine (Kathy) Ann [Pool] Harris. Younger brother to Kevin Harris.
Eric David Harris was born in Wichita, Kansas on April 9th, 1981. His parents were both born in
Colorado but while he was working in the Air Force as a transport pilot, Wayne Harris held 11
different positions at six different bases from in Ohio, Michigan and New York. Plattsburgh, New
York was last place the Harrises moved to before Wayne's forced retirement from the military in 1993
due to cutbacks. Eric lived in Plattsburgh, until the Harris family moved from New York to
Littleton, Colorado in July 1993. Wayne took a job with Flight Safety Services Corporation in
Englewood and Kathy got a job as a caterer. Eric went to Ken Caryl Middle School, where he met Dylan
Klebold in the seventh or eigth grade. They became close friends and spent a lot of time together.
When Eric started attending Columbine in he met Brooks Brown riding the school bus - their houses
weren't far apart. Eric met Nate Dykeman in Spanish class, then introduced Nate to Dylan. The boys
remained friends for years.
One of Eric's aspirations was to join the Marines and he even took steps to apply. It is ironic how
he is more celebrated and loved and accepted in death than he ever was in life. Eric Harris passed
away April 20th, 1999. It is a celebration and love and acceptance that he worked so hard to achieve
while living in his eighteen years of life.

Eric--Gone but Not Forgotten....
Eric,
Your parents miss you so much, everyone misses you so much. No matter how much someone tries to act like you now that you are gone, or take your place, they can not. For their was only ONE Eric David Harris and he was intelligent and funny and charismatic but so so wounded and damged emotionally. I hope that whether you are in a second life or if your spirit still roams around on Earth or if you are getting close to reincarnation, I hope that you are finally being first and foremost forgiven and then accepted and then I hope you are happy, and at peace and that you feel all the love you can--wherever you are. You may be gone but I know it is ONLY for a season as we all shall see and meet up with you soon. Also we know that you may be gone but SURELY not forgotten. We DO love you Eric, and your parents love you too. We forgive, we understand and we love you--now and forever. You will always be our little
"Special Beam of Light and Joy". Til we meet again Eric David Harris.
Love you
Eric I love you so much. I know you are looking down at us. I hope you are happy and resting in peace. I love you so very much
You may not think the world needed you, but it did. For you were unique: like no one that has ever been before or will come after. No one can speak with your voice; say your piece; smile your smile; or shine your light. No one can take your place for it was yours alone to fill. Because you are not here to shine your light, who knows how many travelers will lose their way as they try to pass by your empty place in the darkness
You are like a bright ray of sunshine
You my darling are like a bright ray of sunshine, shining above us. I will be supportive of you and I could care less who disagrees. My darling, you are truly my heavenly angel
Love you forever and ever
Eric, I love you so much. I wish I could talk to you face to face. I know you live on in spirit and that makes my days more bearable because I can't express enough how much I love you and miss you.
With Honor and Love
This page is to honor Eric David Harris, a young boy with so much promise to this world, but that promise was taken away by the wring-doings of the world.
