Terry and Catherine,
I am very sad to hear the news today. I will keep you in my thoughts. Brandon was always a friendly face. I am so sorry.

First I would like to say how deeply sorry I am for his family. Next I would like to say what a loss it is to lose someone like Brandon. He had so many friends including myself. I moved away three years ago, and, when I heard about this tragic accident I said no way not Harp, then you actually read it in print. It is hard to deal with losses like this one, but, I know Brandon is in a better place enjoying everything he can think of. You will be greatly missed by so many. The one thing I can still smile about is knowing that I will see you again, in a much better place than this one. R.I.P. Harp... :-)

My thoughts go out to you during this time.. May the Lord streghten you and your family and may His perfect peace bring much comfort. It has been many, many years since I have seen Brandon. I attended La Patera Elementary School with him. We were in a combined 5/6 grade class together. Although I do remember he was our class clown and he must have made an impression on me, as I recall his name and face to this day. I found the class picture from that year and he is right next to me in the photo lineup.

Catherine and Family, Rob and I pray that the Lord will hold the pieces of your shattered heart in His loving hands and that it will seem like moments (in God's timing it will be!) before you are reunited with Brandon on God's New Earth.

My heart and prayers go out to the family and friends of Brandon Harper. May God be with you and strengthen you in this time of grief and senseless tragedy. I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon once about 3 years ago, and was very impressed with this young man. I am sure he will be missed greatly by everyone that knew him. My children, Liana, Chris, and Brandon Proett, were students of Mr. Harper while attending Righetti, and express their condolences to Mr. Harper and his family.

May our great Lord and Savior grant strength, comfort and peace in such a heart breaking time. I will always remember Brandon's smile and very upbeat personality. Having worked with thousands of young people over many years, Brandon stands out. His passion at that time for his teamates and community were unmatched. Also, his refusal to call me by my first name is something I will carry forever. I have always insisted kids that get to know me call me Steve, NOT Mr. Gonzales. Brandon refused to do that. God bless the Harpers, Goughs and the rest of their family and friends.
