Kenneth Harbin, an employee at the Price Daniel Unit in Snyder, has died of COVID-19, on July 6, 2020.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kenneth Harbin, 60, a correctional officer with more than 30 years of service, had been at a Lubbock hospital since June 28 after testing positive for COVID-19, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said in a news release.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He was showing signs of improvement, but "took an unexpected rapid turn for the worse and died the morning of July 4," the release said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Every death of one of our own is a tragic loss," said Bryan Collier, TDCJ executive director, in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“The thoughts and prayers of his family in gray are with Officer Harbin’s loved ones and friends," he said. "He will not be forgotten."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Daniel Unit senior warden Michael Britt said that Hardin was a "great correctional officer and a better friend."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"He always had a smile or a joke to make the day better," Britt said. "He always uplifted those around him and would take time out of his day to make sure you were OK. He was a selfless person and gave all he could to those he loved.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
