Brad was born March 29, 1962, in Boone, Iowa, the son of Richard and Maxine (Nyhus) Harris. Brad attended Ogden schools and graduated in 1981. He went on to attain his barber license in Texas in 1984. He was able to work his way back to Boone after time in Missouri and Northern Iowa. He was a third-generation barber and joined his father’s business in Boone, later buying the shop (Boone Barber Service) when it was time for Dick to retire. Brad took early retirement in March of 2018.

Some of Brad’s favorite memories revolved around building a collection of Barber/Barber Shop Memorabilia with his father. He loved several cats and 2 very special dogs during his lifetime. Purple ended up being one of his favorite colors – his purple Dodge Challenger Hellcat provided several years of entertainment!

Brad is survived by his sister, Diane Golding (Tom). He was preceded in death by his parents Richard Harris on June 20, 2013 and Maxine Harris on March 12, 2007.
