Willie Marshall Harris, Jr.

Mr. Willie Marshall Harris, Jr. 51, affectionately known as “Tom Tom”, entered eternal rest on Thursday, January 4, 2024 at his home in Manassas, VA.

Mr. Harris was born in Mecklenburg County, VA on June 6, 1972 to his parents, the late Flora “Butch” Harris and Willie Marshall Harris, Sr. At an early age, he was baptized and joined St. John Baptist Church in Clarksville, VA and was baptized again, and joined Holy & Whole Life Changing Ministries International of Lansdowne, VA. He was ordained as a Deacon on November 16, 2018 with the church and his family in attendance.

He received his education in the Mecklenburg County School System and was a 1990 graduate of Bluestone Senior High School in Skipwith, VA. Shortly thereafter, he joined the United States Marine Corps in December of 1990 and served honorably as a reservist for many years.

Mr. Harris started his professional career and worked for years with Bendix Field Engineering and Mantech Corporation as a Senior Installer/Junior Engineer. He also served as the Project Manager for Stanton View Development for several years for multiple new home developments in Washington, DC. He did this while simultaneously owning and managing his own companies.

Mr. Harris owned and operated CNC Contracting and Happy Customer Construction, LLC until his transition. He was a licensed general contractor, and provided the design, site expertise and the work for many projects for both commercial design and residential space inclusive of kitchens, bathrooms, basements, home expansions, and all renovation needs over his 20-year tenure while providing excellent craftsmanship and services for his customers.

He helped many, most times provided more services than he was paid for, and had many repeat and return customers who were always extremely pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of his work. His most recent project was to remodel, design and revamp the customer service lobbies, service counters and offices for all thirty Dominion Tire offices across the DMV area.

At his untimely passing, Mr. Harris was preceded in death by his mother, Flora “Butch” Harris.

He leaves to cherish his memories his loving father, Willie Marshall Harris, Sr. of Skipwith, VA; two sisters, Marsha Harris and Demetria Harris both of Washington, DC; two aunts, Loretta Harris of Clarksville, VA and Janice Harris of Skipwith, VA, and a vast number of other loving cousins, relatives, friends, business associates and partners.
