Condolences

I went to school with him in middle school and high school and I met him through Kaylee and Jay. It’s hard to believe he’s gone. My condolences to you the family and whomever else Harley’s presence had an impact on in life. And to Harley’s parents, I know parents are never supposed to outlive their kids. Im sorry you’re going through that. I hope throughout the time you heal, you remember the wonderful memories you had with him. Dystiny
We met Harley when our son married his sister Amy and I could see his love for his family, his nieces and nephews and music. He enjoyed his vast array of pets, helping with home improvements and spending time with friends. After meeting us he expressed how much he enjoyed our company making us feel welcome in his presence. Although his life was cut short I know his memory will live on through his loved ones. Rest easy Harley. Lisa and Larry Nastal
I met Harley through his brother Frank and family when my mom moved in next door to his mom. He was always so kind and such an outgoing and funny guy. He always spoke when I came over and said Hi. He was the kind of guy that could light up the room when walking in and if you were having a bad day he was the one who could make you smile and cheer you up. He will be missed immensely by all his family, friends and those who knew him he’s made an impact in so many lives and his memory and the memories we have with him will forever live on, be cherished and held dearly in our hearts. May god help this family heal with time, give them strength, protection and shield them from any more hurt or harm amen. Angel

I grew up with Harley in Romulus. We both went to shale creek together and grew up down the street from one another. He was my first best guy friend. I remember going to his house EVERY day and just chilling watching Frank play video games. I haven’t spoke to him in years but I would see him around town. I hate that we lost touch 🩵 I will always remember you Sierra Justice

Met Harley at school, always a positive person. Me and him were old call of duty buddies, it’s very sad to hear old friend gone. My condolences to the family and all his loved ones. Gerald Reid
In my time getting to know Harley, I discovered a truly gentle, kind, and loving soul whose absence will be profoundly felt. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts are with your family as you navigate through your grief. Porsche Parham
I lived next door to the family in Romulus. My daughter was friends with Harley as they where the same age going to Hale creek together. Harley was always full of energy and was always tagging along with his brother Frankie. Harley always looked up to Frankie. I did have alot of years with them because we ended up moving but I always knew both of those boys where going to be good men. Sending my love to the family in your time of losing your loved one. R.I.P Harley. I always thought your name was so cool because Harleys where badass just like like you! Larry Weinberg
I was neighbors with him back in 2007 & he was actually one of my first crushes and my first kiss haha! His brother frank and my cousin were friends at the time so that prompted me and Harley spending a lot of time together. He was so funny & so fun to hang with! God definitely got himself a character up there! My prayers and love to the family ! You have a beautiful angel looking over you guys!!! Taylor Erickson
