Many people might recognize Michael Harris, 69, as the 'You must be saved' guy who stood on street corners spreading the gospel. He was buried Monday after his funeral.
Zahriah Balentine | [email protected] had been grocery shopping with his wife when a bolt struck the top of his head, knocking him across the street and to the ground. He spent a day in the hospital with a cracked sternum but survived and felt he had a new purpose: to spread the word of God.
Harris attended Harrisburg High School, where he participated in football, wrestling, and track and field before graduating in 1976. He then pursued the life of an entrepreneur, running a series of businesses with his wife throughout their 44 year marriage. But the defining moment in his life was the rare lightning strike by a bolt hotter than the face of the sun.They were grabbing groceries out of their car, she recalled.
Relatives and friends described Harris as compassionate, selfless, and gentle but “strong as an ox.” Weightlifting was a major hobby.
