Ron was raised in Huntington, New York, the son of the late William Harris and Elenor Hansen. He was a devoted husband to Debra, a loving father to Christopher and Patrick, and a proud stepfather to Garrett and Christina. He is also survived by his son-in-law, Michael, and his cherished grandchildren, Sophia  and Jack, who brought him immense pride and joy.

Ron was predeceased by his beloved son, Ronald M. Harris Jr., who passed away on December 19, 2005, as well as his brother, William Harris. He is survived by his sister, Cindee Bradshaw. Ron was a loving brother, brother-in-law, and a proud uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Ron dedicated his life to service. He was a retired New York City Police Department Emergency Service Officer, recognized and honored throughout his career for his exceptional skill, bravery, and unwavering dedication to duty. Early in his law enforcement career, he also proudly served with the Asharoken Police Department and the Lloyd Harbor Police Department. He additionally volunteered with the Huntington Fire Department, reflecting his lifelong commitment to protecting others. Even in retirement, Ron continued working in the security industry out at Plum Island, even earning his Captains License. He remained devoted to the profession he respected so deeply even in retirement.

Outside of work, Ron found peace in the things he loved most. He enjoyed fishing, boating, firearms, spending time at the shooting range, crafting and woodworking. He had a deep love for the ocean and could often be found sitting quietly by the water at the inlet, with his dog Gunner at his side.
