May God bless you the family and grant you peace during your time of grief." -- Leslie C. Howard
"I just wanted to send my condolences to the Harris Family. Mrs. Harris was my daughters Elementary school teacher in Harford County and when I heard the news it really hit me.

However, God knows and they will have to face judgment one day." -- K. Johnson, Eastern Shore
"Dear Annette and Children, My heart goes out to you at this difficult time, but I know that GOD will sustain you. HE is able and HE will not fail. The last time I saw Kenneth, he was downtown by City Hall. He talked to me and told me that he was going to work for Comcast. He was happy that day and that is the way that I will remember him. My children have many happy memories of him as well. He was always willing to listen and answer my questions concerning city government. He was dear to my children, Ajtiim, Jerome and Claudette. They all worked in his campaign in one capacity or another. Kenneth was a brother in Christ and we will miss him from being around in the community. God bless you all and just know that God has a plan for your lives." -- Agape,
Claudette Mitchener, Ajtiim Lee, Claudette Jones, Jerome Mitchener
"Dear Family & Friends, My heart ached when I woke up Saturday morning and aches as I write!!! Please know that God sends angels and the devil sends demons.

We must carry out his wishes and get our community back for the sake of our children and what Kenny fought so hard for. In saying that, I would suggest that all of his "fellow political leaders", family and friends, not allow Mr. Covington to shut his doors, but to turn them into something that will serve the community in remembrance of Kenny. After all, it's what he wanted.God's Grace & Peace!!" -- Natalie W. White, Parish Secretary The Church of the Good Shepherd

Being a wife and a mother this very thing just simply tore my heart to pieces and at that very moment I have prayed for you and your entire family that God will grant you "his peace", "his comfort", and "his love" not just during this time, but at all times.

Simply this says to me that we as people have no idea what God has planned for us in our lives, but God is able to do and have the power to do whatever it is he wants to do! From one wife to another and one mother to another place all your cares in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ he will see you through. May God Bless You Always"

"Ken worked with me at Comcast. Ken was a positive and strong man. I'm so sorry to hear that he was taken from you all! I live in Florida now by the encouragement of Ken to take a position here.

"It is with deep regret and sympathy that I write to you regarding the passing of your loved one, Kenneth Harris. Kenneth was a student in my English class at the Dunbar High School in 1980. He was a delightful young man with high ideals and a friendly smile. I can remember him telling me that he would one day be mayor of Baltimore City. From time to time, I would run into him at political affairs and he always acknowledged my presence with a hug and a smile. May you cherish his memory as a great leader and an outstanding human being. May God comfort you and keep you strong." --Dr. Brenda West-Savoy.
"We are sorry for your loss. We here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland surely hope that his death will be vindicated. Keep your heads held high because your guardian angel will be with you every day. From what I read about Mr. Kenneth, he is a hero and an angel. Take care of each other and God will see you through it all." --Lisa A. Ballard
"The officers of Jesus' Stop Restoration Center extend heartfelt condolences to Councilman Ken's family. His works brought value to the legacy that he built, leaving Baltimore City residents to endure the results of them."
"To The Harris Family, Oh, how my heart did ache when I heard of the tragedy of your beloved husband, father, brother, son, uncle, brother-in-law and friend. I did not know him personally but I know him as my brother in Christ. I pray that you all will feel the presence of the LORD as He wraps HIS loving arms around you all. I pray that God's Grace will be greater and deeper than the grief that you are feeling at this time. Hold on to the precious memories that you have and know that he life was not in vain because he made a great impact in the world today. You all are in my prayers."With Heartfelt Sympathy,From Someone Who CaresMrs Debbie Parris
"Even though I now live in Colorado, I will ALWAYS be a "Baltimoron" I love my city and always will. I am deeply saddened and appalled at the act of cowardly ignorance that took Ken Harris's life. He did nothing but serve his community and the people who live in it, including the cowards that took his life. It is infuriating that the very people that snuffed out his life are the same people he served day in and day out.
My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones. We are mourning a "Hero to the City" but it is not close to what his family has lost."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sandra White
Cedaredge, Colorado

"My condolences go out to Mr.Harris' family. I did not know him, but I believed in what he was doing for the city. I live in Baltimore County and my 20-year-old son was murder in January 2006 by a 17-year-old who lived in the city.This kid had 5 hand gun counts on him and was slapped on the hands and sent back on the streets.

And my heart goes out to you." -- Kim R.
"Mrs. Harris, As so many have expressed to you their heartfelt sympathy over the loss of your husband, Mr. Harris, I too want to send my love and prayers for you and your family.
We live in a world where people are traveling as though their actions do not matter, as though their actions do not affect those around them and most of all as though their actions do not have an effect on their own life; oh never could I forget how these people act as though their actions do not affect our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
I was thirteen when my father was viciously gunned down - shot in the chest - which resulted in his untimely death at the age of 38 yrs old. Years ago, I had a gun placed in my face during a robbery of a business that my mother & I owned, so please understand that I too grieve with your family because I understand.
I have faith that it will not be long before the persons that carried out this violent act will be caught and brought to justice. I know that this may be of little comfort in this time of great sorrow and grief but please use the strength, love, concern, and support that so many are giving you at this time.
Jesus build a bridge of strength for the late Mr. Ken Harris' family & friends, Sincerely." -- Suzonne Vickers

"Heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire family of Ken Harris. To his wife Annette, children and mother Ms. Sylvia. My prayers are with you that God's grace and assurance will comfort and keep you until you meet up with Ken again. He was a very good friend and mentor. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Ken (IBM) in my senior year of high school. He was my supervisor. Later I met up with him while working at Comcast. His focus was always genuine, always helping our youth, fighting for Baltimoreans needs, and spending quality time with his family. How did he accomplish so much? Faith and determination, something I know he lived by. His mother, also my friend and co-worker, was so very proud of him and was always showing her support in whatever Ken had going. This made those who had only heard of him feel like they knew him personally. He will forever be greatly missed and we will always hold the fondest memories of Ken (B-More's Man) Harris, in our hearts. May God bless us all." -- Hope Nelson and Family.

May God Bless you, and Heaven keep you and your family." --TiaLynn Cameron-Barksdale
"My deepest condolences are extended to the family of Councilman Ken Harris. He was not just a good politician with a heart for the citizens of Baltimore, but he was a loving husband and father and a friend to many. I can remember inviting Councilman Harris to an event while he was campaigning. It was an event where all of the other candidates running for City Council President were going to be. Councilman Harris looked at me and smiled as he said, `It's my wedding anniversary and I promised my wife that I wouldn't do any campaigning today. I promised.' I thought that spoke volumes about his character. Family first. Ken Harris will truly be missed." --Michelle Donnell
