Dear Pearson Family,
I came to meet Henry or Hank as I used to call him when he lived at the Homestead apartmenets. I was his apartment manager but soon became very friendly with him as he was also my neighbor. He was always ready with conversation and would stop by my office just to talk sports. I loved sitting and chatting with him by the pool or hearing him belt out my name as loudly as he could from his balcony whenever he saw me. Seeing his zest for life and his focus and ambition was something I admired, he definately was a young man with an amazing future ahead of him. As a father of two young boys myself I can only imagine how this loss has affected your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you and I will always remember Henry and the unique friendship we had. God bless all of you!

Dear Nigel, Areta and Jessica,
My son Lee Roberts played baseball with Henry at Mira Costa High School. Lee was also privileged to have been friends with Henry and they had even met for one of Henry's "Let's have Lunch" to talk about his (Lee's) baseball career. Today, my son plays baseball for Loyola Marymount University. He also has Henry's initials (HP) on his baseball cap, the one that he wears everytime he steps foot on the baseball field. Lee received papers from a MLB organization interested in him becoming a pitcher within their group. His first thoughts went straight to Henry, the up and coming sports agent who believed in him. Henry touched my son and was guiding him towards achieving one of his dreams. I think that a perfect goal for all of us is to make a difference in somebody else's life before we leave this earth. After all that has happened, I know that Henry has made not only a difference in Lee's life, he has impacted many people's lives. We are all fortunate to have known Henry. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with your family.

Dear Pearson Fmily,
I hired Henry to work in the Libary at WSU and what a wonderful employ he turned out to be! His smile and good humor was infectious. His passion for baseball was obvious as was his love and dedication to the young players he mentored. I will miss Henry. He will not be forgotten by those of us who worked with him in the Library. Take care of each other.

Dear Pearson Family,
Our family extends our most sincere sympathy to you upon the loss of your son. We had the privilege of meeting your son through the Wilhite brothers, Mike and Jon, recently. It was a couple weeks ago at our son's Mira Costa Varsity baseball game. We realized what a fine son you have and how proud you must be of him. In just those short two hours in the stands with Henry, we could tell his passion for baseball and his enthusiasm for Life. We will never forget the time Henry extended to us in the stands that very special day. We feel so fortunate to have met him.
With great affection for Henry,
Bob and Jeanette Cayton and our children, Mike, Cassie, Kris and Nick

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for the loss of Henry. The whole Pearson family is so dear to my heart and it hurts my heart every day to know that there will be a missing part to your wonderful family. I loved babysitting for your lovely children and remember how great a sportsman Henry was even at age 4. Please know that you are in my daily thoughts and prayers. May his memory be eternal. Much Love, Jenny Servetas-Legakis

To the Pearson Family,
We have never met but we have been in your shoes and share your grief, your sorrow, your sadness and your anger that you feel at this moment. We have had three children attend Mira Costa. On April 7, sixteen years ago we lost our son Darren in a tragic car accident. He was on the Mira Costa baseball team at that time. His name is on the scoreboard in right field. You should be proud of the accomplishments your son achieved in his 25 years. Over time your family and friends and all those that knew your son will help get you through this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Nigel, Areta and Jessica-
Hello. I am so very sorry for your loss. Henry was an amazing young man and even as a young boy babysitting him I knew he would accomplish all that he had hopes and dreams of. I cherish those years of being with him and seeing him grow into such a fine young man! He just had that sparkle and energy that touches lives and moves mountains. He is an inspiration for us all and his spirit will never be forgotten. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Christina Servetas

Dear Pearson Family,
I met you back in the late eighties when Henry and Jessica were little. I was a waitress at Houlihan's and was introduced to your family through Dennis and Mary Clapp.I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. My husband,Jeff and I are raising little ball players and I can see that Henry is the type of young man that they would look up to. Henry is a real go-getter and accomplished so much in a short amount of time. You must be so proud of him.Please accept our condolences.

Dear Areta, Nigel and Jessica,
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's been many years since seeing you all, but I wanted to express my sincerest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I only knew Henry as a young boy but I've read that the spirit and joy he had as a child only continued to grow as he grew into a young man. He touched many hearts and will not be forgotten.

Dear Areta, Nigel and Jessica,
I had the pleasure of getting to know Henry through the Estrada family. He was always energetic, talking about one of the many big projects he always had in the works. There was never a dull moment, never an awkward pause when Henry was around, he always told a joke or a great story to bring everyone to laughter. My last memory of Henry was when he came to see Robi off - I asked him how is birthday was and his face lit up and he said, "SOOO MUUUCH FUUUUN!!! I had the best time ever" He knew what he wanted and where he was going, I take that resiliance and drive away from knowing him for only a short time. Thank you for bringing him into this world as I'm sure so many take away such amazing things that will always stay with them throughout thier lives as he will mine. He is such a blessing and I thank you for your son. Jessica, I have a brother and my heart is heavy for you as I know there is no relationship like a brother and sister. I will be sending you special prayers.
With love and support,

Dear Pearson Family,
I wanted to send out my deepest condolences to you in this time of loss for you. I know there are probably not enough words to heal the pain, but with time i feel you will find the answers and know that his memory will be eternal! I know what it is like to lose a loved one, for I recently lost my dad who was hit by a car on his bike in broad daylight. But I knew Henry since back when we used to play baseball in the Mira Costa Pony leauge and then on in MBYB basketball. I never met anyone who was into as many sports as myself and he was good at everyone! I also had the pleasure of going to Mira Costa with him and graduated the same year. It was a pleasure knowing him and he will be miss by all that had a chance to know him! My prayers are with you all and please let me know if there is anything i can do for the family.

Areta, Nigel, and Jessica. As a parent, we are all joined through our children at many points in our lives. I remember Kyle coming home one night after visiting MB from his home in San Diego. He told me about seeing Henry, sharing a drink, and bringing home his business card. They were both so grown up! I enjoyed those Mira Costa baseball days with Henry leading the team. My heart is heavy......and our thoughts are with you today and many days to come.

Dear Pearson family and friends,
Our sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to you during these toughest times. Henry had nothing but great things ahead for him. We will never understand why we lose such great individuals prematurely, but God must have a better plan. I'm sure he's already looking down on everyone and helping his friend Jon on his way to a full recovery.
God bless you all.
Sincerely,

Dear Pearson Family,
Like many people, we did not know Henry, but met him through this wonderful article and other forms of media.
You had a wonderful son who touched the lives of others because of who he was as a person. His influence will be quietly felt by others who knew and admired him.
God Bless your family.

Dear Areta, Nigel and Jessica, There are no words to describe how much our hearts ache. There are not enough descriptive adjectives to cover how much we loved Henry. The first thing I learned when I met Henry as a 4yr old was his passion for baseball! Henry always delighted me with his smile, personality, intellect, earnestness and his gifted performance in sports growing up. While we mourn the loss we can't help but celebrate Henry's life! With deepest sympathy...The Mazzotta's
