CALGARY – A 25-year-old Calgary man who was dedicated to church and worked at Shaw Cable has died from complications of the H1N1 virus, his family said Monday.
Jonathan Evan Harris died Thursday at the Rockyview General Hospital.
Alberta Health Services won’t confirm Harris died from H1N1, citing privacy laws, but they did announce Friday that an adult male from the Calgary area had died from the swine flu.
There have been 14 deaths in Alberta from H1N1. Harris’s family declined to comment on their son’s death. “Everyone is just traumatized," said his mom, Elizabeth Harris, suggesting details could be found in his obituary, which was published in Monday’s Herald.
“Although his life was cut short, it was lived with gentleness, kindness, joy, quiet humour, wit, richness, integrity, and pure love," the tribute said.
Harris was also very active in his faith. His youth pastor, Sindy Jeske, said Harris was always a great man–even in his youth.
“One of my favourite qualities about him was his desire to be a true gentleman. This is such a rare characteristic," she said in an e-mail. “He went out of his way to treat people with dignity and respect."
Harris’s funeral will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday at St. George’s Anglican Church, 244 Templemont Dr. N.E.
