Paul Dean Harris III, affectionately known as Paris, was a precious gift to this world, born on August 28, 2004, in Wichita Falls, Texas, to Stacee Wiley and Bobby Harris.

Paul attended schools in Wichita Falls and proudly graduated from Wichita Falls High School “Old High,” class of 2023. He later moved to Dallas, Texas, where he lived life to the fullest and unapologetically embraced every moment.

Though we were not ready to say goodbye, Paul gained his wings on April 17, 2026, at the age of 21.

Known for his pure heart and soul, Paul had a unique gift for both testing your patience and making you smile in the same moment. He was a ray of sunshine and a ball of joy who could fill any room with laughter within seconds. Paul was truly the life of the party, dancing to the beat of his own drum, always unapologetically Paris.

He was preceded in death by his father, Bobby Harris; grandmother, Fannie Smith; great-grandmother, Mary Wiley; and grandfather, Paul Smith.

Paul leaves behind his loving mother, Stacee Wiley; sister, Za’Myria Harris; brother, Isaiah; nephew Ayzal Cole; nephews,  Cairo and Cortlan; niece Carsyn; sister-in-law Serena White; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins who will forever cherish his memory and celebrate the joy he brought into their lives.
