Artina McCabe attended the funeral. Three of her children
were members of J.J. Express. “The funeral was a true
tribute to her memory and gave each kid some peace because
they were able to participate. We all could visually see how
many children she impacted. Look at how many came from out
of town and travelled, just to pay their respects. I know
she’s smiling in heaven,” said McCabe.
JJ Express alumni Crystal Harris and Andre Pearson shared
memories during the service, and countless community leaders
offered condolences.
Trazon Harris graduated from Start High School and was
employed by The University of Toledo for over 20 years. She
earned several community recognitions including the Youth
Humanitarian Award in 2007 and Toledo Unity Award in 2012.
“Three of my boys, Arnez, Delano and Demetrie, plus boys
from our church participated. She wasn’t just the director,
but became a friend, a friend that I trusted my children
with, no question. She had hundreds of kids that she
mentored, I knew she personally loved each child,” said
McCabe.
Social Media websites, including Facebook have dozens of
posts and photos, expressing condolences to the Harris
family. The family requested no photos during the funeral.
