Born February 1, 1929, in the Paxton Community of Shelby County, Red is the son of Eva Odom Harris.  His hobbies included fishing and running a wrecker.  He was the last living charter member of Tenaha Volunteer Fire Department, a member of Order of Eastern Star, and Tenaha Masonic Lodge #737.  Red served as a deacon at Ramah Missionary Baptist Church in Tenaha.

He was the best husband, father, and grandfather that anyone could ask for as well as a friend.  He lived a life full of love and will be forever remembered as a man of God.  Red will be surely missed by everyone who knew him. He truly was a blessing to his peers.

Preceded in death by wife, Alice Marie Odom; son, David Wayne Odom; parents, Eva Harris; sister, Iva Dell Tyler; and brother, Melton Harris.
