Remembering Edward

A life held close in memory

Edward Harris Jr. was born December 23, 1966, and spent his life in the Dayton, Ohio area. Public records and memorial listings identify him as a local man who was known to family and community members in Montgomery County. Standing over six feet tall, he was a recognizable presence in the neighborhoods where he lived and moved through daily life.

While the public record about Edward’s everyday work, hobbies, and close relationships is limited in digitized sources, official cold-case and memorial records make clear that he was more than an entry in a file: he was a person with family, a history, and a place in Dayton’s fabric. Those official notices record basic details such as his birth date and physical description, which help confirm his identity and preserve his memory for relatives and neighbors who knew him.

The available public notices and county memorials remember Edward among others from the year 2000 whose lives ended too soon. For relatives and friends, the factual record is a starting point for the deeper, private remembrances only they hold: stories of daily kindnesses, gatherings, routines, and the small ways he shaped other people’s lives. Although those personal memories are not published in the public sources examined here, they are the truest measure of who Edward was.

Edward’s death on August 27, 2000, remains a noted and unresolved loss in public memorials and cold-case listings. This page honors him by preserving the verified facts about his life and by acknowledging the human reality behind those facts: a man born December 23, 1966, whose life mattered to people who loved him. May this record offer a small measure of recognition and respect for Edward’s life and the private memories his family and friends continue to hold.
