    Jonathan Harris

    HARRIS , Jonathan Evan June 12, 1984 - October 29, 2009 It is with profound sorrow and disbelief that we share the news of the death of our beloved son and brother Jonathan Evan Harris on Thursday, October 29, 2009. Although his life was cut short, it was lived with gentleness, kindness, joy, quiet humour, wit, richness, integrity, and pure love. Jonathan's warm-hearted nature and overflowing love for family and friends near and far will be remembered by all those whose lives he touched. Jonathan was the beloved son of Elizabeth and Glenn Harris; big brother and best friend to Laura Harris; grandson of Iris and the late Sydney Dove and of Ron Harris and Mary Trickey; great-nephew, nephew, cousin, and dear to the hearts of extended family across Canada. Jonathan loved God without reservation and gladly served Him. He shared his faith with others at Parkdale Evangelical Missionary Church, Bow Waters Community Church, and St. George's Anglican Church, throughout school, and in his everyday life. He was educated at Douglas Harkness Elementary, Clarence Sansom Junior High, Lester B. Pearson High School, and Mount Royal College. Jonathan was passionate about his career as a technical writer first at Worley Parsons Komex, and most recently at Shaw Cable. His passions included his love for photography and he flourished through his association with individuals and groups of photographers locally and internationally. A Memorial Service will be held at St. George's Anglican Church, 244 Templemont Drive N.E., Calgary, on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. Please join us in the church hall following the Service to continue the Celebration of Jonathan's Life by sharing stories and love for him with others who were touched by his gentle soul. A Memorial Service will also be held at a later date in Ottawa. We pay homage to the ICU staff at Rockyview General Hospital for their heroic efforts in assisting him in his battle, not won, against complications of the H1N1 virus.

    CALGARY - A 25-year-old Calgary man who was dedicated to church and worked at Shaw Cable has died from complications of the H1N1 virus, his family said Monday.

    Jonathan Evan Harris died Thursday at the Rockyview General Hospital.

    Alberta Health Services won't confirm Harris died from H1N1, citing privacy laws, but they did announce Friday that an adult male from the Calgary area had died from the swine flu.

    There have been 14 deaths in Alberta from H1N1. Harris's family declined to comment on their son's death. "Everyone is just traumatized," said his mom, Elizabeth Harris, suggesting details could be found in his obituary, which was published in Monday's Herald.

    "Although his life was cut short, it was lived with gentleness, kindness, joy, quiet humour, wit, richness, integrity, and pure love," the tribute said.

    Harris was also very active in his faith. His youth pastor, Sindy Jeske, said Harris was always a great man--even in his youth.

    "One of my favourite qualities about him was his desire to be a true gentleman. This is such a rare characteristic," she said in an e-mail. "He went out of his way to treat people with dignity and respect."

    Harris's funeral will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday at St. George's Anglican Church, 244 Templemont Dr. N.E.
