Mr. Anthony Harris, more affectionately known as “Tupac,” was born on September 12, 1970, in Thomaston, Upson County, Georgia, to Ms. Joanne Durham and the late Mr. John Willis Harris. He was lovingly raised by his stepfather, Mr. Willie James Durham. He received his early education at M.G. Worthy School.

At an early age, Anthony joined Midway Baptist Church, where he worshipped alongside his family.

During his adult life, he was employed by Thomaston Mills as a machine operator. He was the proud father of four children and the loving grandfather of nine grandchildren.
