Marrk Harris was born in Boston on February 3, 1964. His late parents, Frank and Moene Harris raised him in Dorchester, and he spent many years blazing trails in Four Corners and playing basketball at Madison Park High School. After graduation, Marrk attended Northeastern University where his love for radio took hold.

He started his career at Northeastern’s radio station WRBB where he was an announcer and DJ. He worked as on-air personality at WILD radio with some of the greats in Boston radio lore. For the past decade, Marrk joined Urban Heat, 98.1 FM and created the Bomb Squad and the Souls Place music shows every week. He will forever be known as The Voice.

Marrk was not just a local celebrity, he also did voice-over work for Coca-Cola, Al Haymon, Calloway Entertainment and Gurk McGurk Entertainment. He also hosted on stations in New York and Detroit. Over the years, Marrk’s community involvement earned him recognition for Youth In Crisis intervention from Mayor Marty Walsh, Governor Charlie Baker, and Massachusetts State Representative Jeffrey Sanchez.

Our Marrk was one of those people who was always there when you needed him. He was reliable, hardworking, and quietly giving his all, every day. He took pride in being someone others could count on. When he wasn’t working, he loved fishing, grilling, trying out new restaurants, and spending time with the people he cared about most. Marrk’s work included Beth Israel Hospital as a teen and he also worked for the MDC for a few years. However, his main source of joy (and pain) has been the Boston Housing Authority since 1985. He made so many good friends there and is well loved by the residents whom he served.

Marrk was blessed to have a son with Andrea Small whom they named Marrk Harris II, and he is definitely his father’s twin! Carletta Davis Harris gave him a beautiful daughter named Elizabeth Harris, and she is the embodiment of grace and love.

Marrk is preceded in death by his parents Frank Harris and Ethel Moene Harris, and his siblings: Glenda Paige, Velma Shane, Laureen Harris of Boston, MA, Frank Harris, Jr., and Larry Harris of Virginia. His memory will be cherished by his children: Marrk Harris II and Elizabeth Harris, his siblings: Myra Shane, Henrice Brown and Brother-In-Law Adam Brown, Van Shane of Boston, MA; and all of his beloved nieces and nephews and a host of family, friends, and co-workers.
