Scott A. Harris of Jupiter, FL, passed away due to medical complications at his home on Friday, November 20, 2015 at age 67.

He was born to Lawrence and Marion Harris in Roswell, NM, as the middle of three siblings. After graduating from high school in Roswell, he completed a degree in accounting from Colorado State University. He met his first wife, Janet Burke, in Grand Junction, CO, and the couple later had two children, Fawn and Zachary. An active athlete and nature-lover from youth, he worked as a rock climbing guide and spent the next 15 years taking his family on numerous camping, skiing, and boating trips all around Colorado and beyond. In 1993, Scott moved to Naples, Florida to expand his outdoorsmanship from the mountains to the sea. He crewed on yachts working toward his captain's license and attended wooden boat building school.

Scott came to find the Creator more worthy of adoration than His creation, and the Savior Jesus Christ to be the only hope for true and eternal life. He met his second wife, Elaine Todd, at Naples First Baptist Church, and continued to grow under the teaching of Grace Immanuel Baptist Church of Jupiter until the time of his death. Scott was preceded in death by his parents and elder sister, Judy Harris, of Roswell. He will be warmly remembered and sadly missed by his wife, Elaine Harris of Jupiter; daughter, Fawn Lawrence of Grand Junction, CO; son, Zach Harris of Tallahassee, FL; sister, Abby Yates of Dallas, TX, and ten grandchildren. He will be buried alongside family in New Mexico, with services to be determined, with an epitaph expressing the sentiment he wanted most memorialized about his life: "Lord Jesus, You are the air that I breathe
