Lieutenant Danny Robert Harris was a true hero in every sense of the word. As one of the founding members of DeKalb County EMS in Atlanta, Georgia, he dedicated his life to saving others and serving his community. Danny’s courage and quick thinking even saved my brother’s life when he was just two weeks old. He touched countless lives through his work and his kindness, always putting others before himself. Sadly, Danny passed away from heart complications in February 2023. He is currently buried in Aiken, South Carolina, but our family has not yet been able to provide him with a headstone.
After his unexpected passing, we discovered that Danny had some debts that no one knew about. This left my grandmother, Laura Harris, with unexpected bills and financial stress. Despite everything Danny did for his family and community, we have struggled to afford a proper headstone to honor his memory. Having a headstone for my grandfather would mean the world to our family, especially to my grandmother. It would bring us comfort and peace, knowing that Danny’s legacy is recognized and celebrated. We want to give him the tribute he deserves, so he can be remembered for generations to come.
