Not sure what to say?

To the family and friends of Jeff Harnish. Sad news to hear of Jeff´s passing more than a decade ago. Jeff and I were in the same dive school class in Panama City Beach Florida in the 90s. Mostly US Navy officers there were a couple of Coast Guard officers and 2 US Army officers. Jeff was clearly a leader but also a doer. He was physically and mentally fit and pitched in wherever and whenever possible. I will remember his smile, his forthrightedness, and his stories. I will keep Jeff and his...

Jeff, Fair winds and following seas, from your Coast Guard and Navy brethren. Julie, Jeffrey, Jennifer, I'm sorry that I just found out as I was searching for Jeff, but this should show you, even after all these years, what an honorable and magnificent man Jeff was and the positive impressions he made on others. We were classmates in Panama City, and Jeff later visited my new family and me in Hawaii. Michael Trevett, USN and Coast Guard Diver

I thought of Jeff today - I remember talking with him on the phone for several hours one night before he passed. Looking back now I guess I was one of the lucky ones that got to hear him laugh, and depart great stories one last time. Jeff discussed the military, his love for his children, and how much he loved his wife. Jeff shared how proud he was of his kids and how his wife meant everything to him. Jeff shared his struggles with me, and his hopes for his future and the future of his...

Great Leader, Greater Man, That I had the privilege to learn from and serve with, he made the world a better place. Words cannot express.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

He was a Great Officer and Leader who lived the Army Values to the fullest, which made me admire and respect him, valuing him as a very close friend and leader. I worked with him at Fort Eustis, VA, and looked forward to pairing up with him in California. I was hoping to meet with him this summer, but now I'll have to wait a little while longer. He'll be at the top of my Prayer List from this day forth.

My deepest sympathy to the Harnish family. Jeff will surely be missed by many.

YOUR FAMILY IS IN OUR THOGUHTS AND PRAYERS, FOR THE SERVICE YOUR SWEET HUSBAND AND GOOD FATHER GAVE, FOR US TO HAVE OUR SACRED FREEDOMS. GOD BLESS YOU !

He made the world a better place for so many! - here in our Country and wherever he served and led. He shared many words of wisdom/passion and his deep and sincere love of the Lord, his family, and our country with me. A few months ago he shared a song sung by Kevin Costner "The Angels Came Down." Jeff's the hero that will forever be in our hearts and dearly missed...another song he shared with me..."Angel Flight" artist Radney Foster comforts me during this sad time of grieving. Jeff's...
