Blaux Roger Harris was born on July 12, 1995, to Devin and Richelle (Rook) Harris in Hettinger, North Dakota. He grew up in Pierre, South Dakota, where he graduated from T.F. Riggs High School in 2014. After high school, he pursued diesel mechanics at Mitchell Technical Institute. He worked as a diesel mechanic, commercial construction worker, concrete laborer and finisher, and heavy equipment operator, and he finished his career in diesel mechanics. Many of these careers offered him the opportunities to travel; Blaux worked in Texas, New Mexico, California, Montana, Michigan, and Minnesota on various job sites making lifelong friends everywhere he went.
Blaux was a wild one from a young age. He wasn’t afraid of anything – from climbing up the fridge to starting socks on fire in the hallway, there was nothing he couldn’t or wouldn’t do to attempt to keep everyone around him on their toes.
His hobbies throughout high school and beyond included fishing, boating, hunting, and listening to rock music. He discovered the joy of riding motorcycles and rode any chance he could get.
In 2018, he met the love of his life, Sierra Boroviak, and the two joyfully married on June 4th, 2022. They lived in their home in Central City, Nebraska, and by 2023, they were expecting a baby boy. March 12, 2024, Blaux and Sierra welcomed Jaxson Jameson Harris into the world, and Jax was the light of Blaux’s life. He was able to experience fatherhood for a beautiful eight months, and Jaxson will forever know Blaux through the stories others will continue to share about him.
To Blaux, family was the most important priority, and friends, by extension, became the family he chose. To know Blaux was to love him, to meet Blaux was to gain a loyal and lifelong friend. To talk to Blaux was to have a long, meaningful conversation, and that conversation almost always touched on his favorite topic, his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Blaux and God decided he would leave this world a hero and become his family’s guardian angel from heaven. When he left, he was able to offer others a chance to live as he donated his organs as his last act on Earth. Blaux will forever be a hero in the eyes of all who knew him.
