David Harp

My step-brother, David Harp, passed away on 2/24/15. We weren’t close. We knew each other best when we were little kids. I mostly remember him like this:

After high school, another parental divorce, and his family moving to Idaho, I didn’t see him again for about 20 years. His wonderful wife, Jessica, was the only reason I had any idea what was going on with him. Because of her I got see him about a year and a half ago, and had one really good adult conversation with him, and find out his story from the missing time in between. I’m very glad to have had that opportunity. It makes me very sad that he’s no longer in the world with us.

The photos of David that I’ve collected so far. From my own archives as well as some stolen from Jessica Harp, Janelle Garner, Shawna Garner, Karen Garner, and Sarah Bell (via FB). I hope no one minds. I thought it would be nice to collect them together.

David - great smile

Rest in Peace, David

In loving memory of my step-brother, David Harp.
