A go fund me has been created in honor of Merle to ease any stress on the family through this period of emotional pain and what comes afterward.

Merle was the beloved husband of Lisa Harris and proud father of Carson, Dustin and Lacey.

Many of you know Merle from being the life of the party, with his huge smile, warm heart and welcoming presence.

This is a way for our community to come together to support the Harris Family through this hard time.

We encourage everyone to keep the family in their thoughts and prayers.
