Dr. Charles “Chuck” Harris
Dr. Charles “Chuck” Harris of Friendswood, Texas passed away on June 23, 2019 at Clear Lake Regional Hospital in Webster, Texas with loved ones by his side. He was born in Texas City, Texas on September 17, 1958.
Chuck graduated from Dickinson High School, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Houston and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston.
Chuck was preceded in death by his mother and father, Mrs. Clydene Harris and Dr. Joe Harris, DDS of Kemah, as well as by several aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is survived by his brother Steven Harris of Friendswood, TX, his daughter Jordan Harris of Asheville, NC, his son Ashton Harris of Asheville, NC, his daughter Erika (Jeremy) Jensen of League City, TX and his grandson Liam, as well as many family and close friends.
Dr. Harris practiced dentistry in La Marque, TX for over two decades before retiring in 2017. He adored his patients and valued the relationships he built with them. He loved the communities of La Marque and Texas City, and was happy to serve them for so many years.
Chuck enjoyed fishing and hunting with family and friends and cooking too much food on Sundays. He was known for his enormous heart, his sense of compassion and charity, his humility, and random acts of kindness. Those close to him will never forget his hidden talents: a soulful singing voice and his impressive renditions of Elvis tunes. He will be remembered for his quirky wit, excellent sense of humor, and warm unconditional love.

I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Harris was a wonderful man. He was truly kind and compassionate. I feel blessed to have had the privilege of knowing and working with him.
I sure enjoyed knowing and working with Dr. Joe and Charles Harris. Both were fine fellows and good dentists. I was disappointed when Charles retired as it was an end of an era. His efforts in the restoration of the smiles of people from Texas City, LaMarque, and the area is evident almost daily to me. I want to wish everyone in his family good memories now and in the future. I also want to thank you for sharing him with us.
To Mr. Charles family. I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Our Almighty Heavenly Father Jehovah God promises that you will see him again. Here on Earth. Acts 24:25, John 5:28,29. He will also be in perfect health, Revelation 21 1-5.
Erika,
I am deeply sadden to hear of the passing of your father. May your loving memories provide you peace. God bless you and your family.

I’m so sad to hear about the loss of my dear friend, Chuck Harris. The Harris family lived a few houses from mine, in Dickinson. Chuck and I spent many years in the late 1970s, cruising the streets in our cool cars, duck hunting, going to numerous discotheques, listening to hours of records, doing homemade taxidermy and on and on. Sincere condolences to the family, the memories of my time with Chuck will be cherished forever. May God bring comfort and peace to the family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been a patient of both Dr. Harris’ for 55 years. Dr. Chuck was a kind and thoughtful man. I hated when he retired, but knew he should be enjoying his life. May God give you the peace that passing all understanding.
