Mr. Harvell was my First grade teacher, I am currently in 10th grade. To me, Mr. Harvell was the best teacher you could ever ask for and I wish I could talk to him and joke with him. There will never be a day where I wont thank or think about you.

Goodbye, Mr. Harvell and thank you!

I so enjoyed working with Brian when I first started at WAVY years ago and then reconnecting with him at one of the many bowls we covered down in the sunshine state.

Truly shocked when I heard the news, I remember being so excited when i visted his class for the first time because he was doing something I rarely saw working at an elementary school. TEACHING! He was straight forward yet down to earth. His kids were learning and I was grateful for that. You will be missed! Mr. Har-vell ...smiles

Brian and I worked at Chaffee Trail together. I used to call down to his room and get on his case for not taking his attendance and all he could say was "I love you". I would soon receive some chocolate from him. He would drive me crazy but it was a good crazy. I was so sorry to hear of his passing.

Brian Harvell was my daughters teacher. He was my favorite teacher my daughter and I will always remember him. He was funny. I spent the day with him once helping on a field trip and he really understood and connected with the kids and myself as well. Me and my family are sorry for this loss and we will never forget him he has touched our hearts forever. From The Roe Family

Brian, I will miss seeing you sharing the treasures you found after a day of garage sales and Esatate sales. It was a pleasure to have met you and will miss seeing you. God be with you and your family. Prayers.
