Obituary



On May 25th, 1995 at 2:41 p.m. , I was born to my parents , Dion Harris and Tiffany Newton in Muskogee , Oklahoma.  It was a rainy and humid spring day and all of my people were there awaiting my arrival.  Once I was finally here , I was the apple of everyone's eye.  I was the first child, grandchild and nephew for both sides of the family so I was truly a blessing.
When my dad joined the Army and then married my mom , I became an A rmy brat , living in Germany, Georgia and Puerto Rico.  I attended elementary school at Antilles Elementary in Puerto Rico, Irving and Harris Jobe Elementary, Alice Robertson Junior High and graduated from Muskogee High School in 2013.  I briefly tried soccer and basketball , but I loved to play football throughout my youth and all throughout high school.
A little later on after high school , I met and married Leah Dunay and then I join ed the Army.  After basic training , I was sent to Colorado Springs, Colorado for my first Tour of Duty and I immediately fell in love with the place.  After my separation from the Army , I decided to stay in Colorado where I met Jazmine Holloway in 2015.  During this relationship, I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl , Za'Niyah Amari, in August 2017.  She was the light of my life and I loved to spoil her and always had my phone camera in her face with any filter that I could find.
I was a fun-loving and mischievious kid, never had a mean word for anyone, always the life of the party , being silly and goofy,  just being me , happy go lucky, "Te-Te", as my aunt Metra, who was like my 2nd mom, liked to call me so the name stuck with my family and loved ones.
In my final hour of rest, I received my wings on May 3rd, 2018 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  I was preceded in death by my paternal great-grandmothers Henryetta Gunn and Reverend Ophelia Harris , who affectionately name d me "Onion Head" at first site right after I was born because she said my head was perfectly shaped , just like an onion and m y maternal great grandmothers Johnnie Mae Gardner and Ruby Love.
I am leaving to cherish and celebrate my memory my parents , Dion and Tiffany Harris , my baby brother , Devonn Aubrey and my sweet baby sister, Dior Amari. My most precious possession, Za'Niyah Amari and please everyone keep on eye out on my newest addition that I was anticipating, my son, Zyan Amon, due in July, of Colorado Springs, Colorado. My paternal grandparents Robert (Lynette) Gunn of Muskogee and Martha Harris Jefferson of Havana, Fl. My maternal grandparents James and Linda Newton of Muskogee.  My aunt's Robbie Gunn of Irving, Tx, Jametra Newton of Muskogee, Donyeil McIntosh of Muskogee, James (Sharneice) Newton of Corpus Christi, Tx, Alicia Gunn, Cherise (James) Simmons, Duan (Lillian) Morris all of Muskogee, and Jakii Moore.  Cousins; Alexis Gunn, Jaelon Newton, Jordan Simmons, Jaliyah Simmons, Mekayla Warren, Corey McMullen, Jasmine Simmons, King James Newton, James Simmons Jr., and Nehemiah Morris.  My special friend and mother to my children Jazmine Holloway and Isaac Santos of Colorado Springs, CO, along with many other family members and friends.
