Help Honor Quinton Harris's Memory

Quinton Harris, 18, of Oskaloosa, passed away at his home on August 24, 2024.

Quinton Scott Harris, son of Canada Scott and Heather Dawn (Giesken) Harris, was born on September 27, 2005, in Killeen, Texas. He attended Oskaloosa Elementary and Oskaloosa High School. He has been employed with Vermeer Manufacturing as a machinist since April of 2024.

Quinton loved Mustang cars and sports bikes. He enjoyed playing video games in his free time. Quinton recently desired to learn how to play the guitar and was entering that phase. The Denver Broncos were his favorite football team; he considered himself a huge fan of the team. Good memories were made during his friendships with a few good buddies.

Left to cherish Quinton’s memory are his family: his parents, Canada and Heather Harris; his brothers, Brayden and Garrett Harris, all of Oskaloosa; and his paternal grandparents, Wayne and Marcella Harris of Gallatin, Missouri.

Quinton was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Deb Auten.

Memorial services for Quinton will be held on Saturday, September 7th. Time and date will be updated as they are finalized.

Quinton was a very loved young man. Quinton was full of life and loved his family dearly. He was actively making plans with his family for his future. He was naturally funny; it was truly effortless for him. He was a quick-witted and hilariously sarcastic young man who fiercely loved those he cared about. He loved spending time with his cousins in Missouri making memories by “picking on” his cousins. He knew just how incredible he was and how much we all cherished every second with him.

We are asking for help to take care of Quinton’s services. This was a sudden and unexpected tragedy for our family, and we are asking for support to help us memorialize Quinton and all of the things he wanted for his life, this world, and his loved ones.

You may send memorial contributions to his parents, Canada and Heather Harris, through Brad and Becca Giesken. You can contact Brad and Becca through phone call or text at [phone redacted]. The family is asking that you please utilize this channel for contact until they have had enough time to process and start taking steps forward.
