Anyone who knew Harley, knew him by his contagious laugh, his great sense of humor and his memorable smirk. Always the most upbeat person in the room, Harley was known to go out of his way to make those around him laugh. By those who knew him would also describe him as a kind soul with a lot of love to give. Harley had a great love for music, he often spent nights with friends and family creating his own freestyles. He will always be remembered by his great sense of style and it would only be fair to mention the pride he took in his appearance.
