Unfailingly modest, authentically grounded, and remarkably sincere. The last time our paths crossed on October 22, 2024, I never anticipated it would be our final meeting. Despite encountering obstacles, you consistently placed others above yourself, ensuring you visited your mother one last time. Rest peacefully, David Harras. Your impact will forever endure. Thank you for showing me, no matter what we are enduring as an individual, compassion for others can be infinite.
