Obituary:
Chantz E. Harris, 51, of Winter Haven, departed this life on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Chantz, affectionately known as J-Bo”, was born on December 21, 1973 in Jacksonville, Florida to Sarah Taylor Harris Taylor and Carter Lee Harris.
Chantz was the second oldest of three siblings. He graduated from Dr. Phillips High School in 1994. In high school, he played football, ran track, wrestling and weightlifting, earning the respect of coaches and friends like for his determination, teamwork and heart. He was a sports advocate. After graduating from Dr. Phillips, he was one of the first recipients of the Harris Rosen/Tangelo Park Scholarship in the amount of $16,500, which enable him to obtain his barbering license.
At an early age, he attended new Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, participating in the Young People‘s Department (YPD). He later joined New Hope Church of God in Christ. For more than 20 years, Chantz dedicated his craft to the art of Barbering- welcoming generations of clients to his chair, listening with patience, offering wisdom with kindness, and sending each person out the door looking and feeling their best at Shear Junkies. It was more than a place for a haircut; it was a haven of conversation, laughter and connection. Through his steady hands and warm spirit, he built a legacy that reached far beyond the walls of Shear Junkies. Chantz had an extraordinary ability to make people feel seen and valued. Whether he was perfecting a fade, sharing a story or offering quiet encouragement, he touched countless lives with his generosity and genuine heart. His regulars will remember not just the precision of his work, but the comfort of his friendship and the familiarity of his smile.
Chantz was a loving husband, caring, father, nurturing grandfather, devoted son, and a loyal brother.
The Lord and his infinite wisdom deed timely to call our beloved from labor to reward on Thursday, November 20, 2025. His departure is a deep and personal loss, as he will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
Chantz leaves to cherish his memory: his loving and devoted wife Pamela Davis- Harris; six children, Chantz (Belkis), Tatiana, Jaylon, Jah’zeel, London, and Xavier; four grandchildren, Arik, Ameir, Atarah, and Alim; his mother, Sarah Taylor Harris Taylor; five siblings, Anthony (Sharon) Harris, Jayson Taylor, Latoya Thorne, Kimbelee Hills and Jennifer Harris; Aunts, Rev. Bertha Taylor Johnson, Elder Stephanie Douglas, Catherine (Joe Nathan) Conyers, and Valerie Harris; father and mother-in-law, Freddie (Doris) Davis Sr.; brother-in-law, Freddie Davis Jr.; sister-in-law, Sharonda Davis; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, clients, co-workers, and sorrowing friends.
Visitation will be held on Friday, November 28, 2025 from 4-6PM at the mortuary. A service of celebration will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2025, 11:00 AM at New Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, 4201 W. Columbia Street, Orlando, with Pastor Wendell C. Webster, officiating. Interment: Washington Park Cemetery, Orlando.

Chantz was my barber growing up and was my neighbor in Tangelo Park. He was always a quiet dude but spoke when necessary, the qualities of a leader. I remember the younger boys in Tangelo never tried to get on his bad side but respected him as one of the big brothers on Polaris Street. This loss was definitely unexpected but may rest in peace. Much love to his family. We may weep through the dark nights but joy will breakthrough in the mornings. A God-given promise by Him who is still in control.
