Joint services have been set for Jason Harris, who has been featured in the Tri-City Herald several times as he battled a difficult illness, and his father.

Harris, 26, grew up in the Tri-Cities but moved to Connecticut last year with his father and caregiver, Gary Hinman.

Hinman, 58, died of cancer Nov. 7. Harris died Nov. 22 as his family was making arrangements to bring him back to the Tri-Cities.

Harris was born with multiple congenital conditions. But he persevered to become valedictorian of River’s Edge High School in 2012, despite not being strong enough to attend classes.

Services for father and son will be at 11 a.m. Jan. 6 at Calvary Chapel Tri-Cities, 10611 W. Clearwater Ave., Kennewick.
