Obituary For Michel Richard Harris

Michel Rashid Harris (Hreiz), 76, of Fremont, passed away peacefully in his home on Tuesday, November 22, 2016 of heart failure.

He was born on June 27, 1940 in Zahleh, Lebanon, one of 6 siblings and the first-born son to Rashid and Rose Hreiz, both of who preceded him in death.

Michel will be remembered as a devoted son, uncle, brother and Godfather. As a Realtor in Fremont for over 40 years, he developed a wonderful knack for helping people & solving problems. He lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures. He loved life, and never allowed anything to bother him, instead choosing to see the glass as half full, rather than half empty. He loved people, always stopping to talk whenever that chance arose, all the while knowing that it may cause him to be late to wherever he was headed to. He was kind, generous and always willing to lend a hand if needed.

Michel is survived by Hayat Adamany (husband Fred), Lee Harris (wife Pamela), Najat Rask (husband Thomas), Nick Hreiz (wife Alice), and Nellie Jones (husband Leon).

Michel will be deeply missed by friends, family and all who knew him.

Visitation will be held on Friday, December 2nd, from 4-8pm with a Vigil at 6:30pm at Fremont Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, December 3rd, 9:30am at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 37588 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Burial will follow at Cedar Lawn Memorial Park in Fremont, CA.
