Sandy James Harmon

Sandy Harmon Obituary

SANDY JAMES HARMON "Bodhi" Sandy James Harmon had his life cut short January 23, 2006 in a devastating freeway accident. Sandy was born to Thomas and Laraine Harmon on October 30, 1982 in Tacoma. Bodhi is best described as a kind, gentle soul who enjoyed life to the fullest. Sandy is survived by his fiancee Christina Wheeler, his daughter Violette and his proud parents and grandparents Marilyn Walker and Tom and Helen Harmon. Sandy's special way of looking at life will be missed by his brothers Spencer, Sean, Stewart, Russell and sister Wendy Stafford. Sandy will also be deeply missed by his many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Sandy was beyond himself with joy at the birth of his 3-month old daughter. He and Christina lived happily together in Lakewood with Violette and Christina's two boys Austin and Steven. Sandy was a man who was just beginning his life with his young family. He was a well-respected professional truck driver at Harmony Trucking Inc. He had a bright future and was saving to buy a home for his family. His family was very proud of him and his accomplishments. In addition to his being a hard-working provider, Bodhi loved music and was an accomplished bass guitar player and DJ, enjoyed playing video games, was an avid fantasy book reader and animal lover. We have all been touched and loved by Sandy. There will be a Rosary and a sharing of memories at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Tacoma on Sunday, Jan. 29th, 2006 at 7:00 pm. Funeral services will be held on Monday, Jan. 30th, 2006 at 11:00 am at Holy Cross. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery. Any donations to help Sandy's family can be made to Columbia Bank in Sandy's name. A benefit concert for Christina and the children will be held within the next couple weeks. You may contact Tom Harmon ( [email protected] ) for further information. Please leave online condolences at www.gaffneyfuneralhome.com . Arrangements by Gaffney Funeral Home 253-572-6003.

I just wanna say how sorry I'am about the over Whelming Death of Sandy, I would of never thought when I was driving down the freeway with a friend of mine I was going to see this accident, So we got off the freeway and pulled over to chuckie cheese and there was people everywhere, so i jumped out of the car and asked what happened, I was told they were trying to revive this man and it didn't work,I started crying just because i'm sensitive, Then when I went Home and saw the News the next Morning I was in Schock I guess you can say numb, what a small world, not long befor that Uncle Ed and I were welcome in his home for a few weeks when I had no where to live The Both of us feel blessed for being able to see how happy and out going and proud he was, I can most certainly say he loved his Family with all his Heart Sandy had a Heart as big as they get. I just wanna tell the family thankyou so much from the bottom of my Heart for everything you Both done for Uncle Ed and I My Prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with my wife, Wendy Stafford (Sandy's sister) and Sandy's entire family, including his brothers, grandparents, and parents, Tom and Laraine.

I can only hope that Sandy is walking safe, somewhere above, thinking of his wife and children, with a big smile on his face.

To the Harmon Family,

Losing someone we love is never easy to accept, and sometimes it must seem as if the pain is almost too much to bear. But I believe that your love will outlast the pain of the grief you're feeling... I believe that you have a place deep in your heart where treasured memories will always live. And one day those memories will be a tremendous comfort to you. Until the day when you can smile again, we hope it helps to know just sorry we are and how much we care.

When Sandy was in kindergarten, he used to visit with me while I dug in the dirt. He'd hold the worms so they woulnd't get hurt. Such a bright, talkative little boy! I am so sorry for your loss.

I was so sorry to hear about your family's loss. Sandy was in my fourth grade class at Skyline Elem. I remember him as being a sweet and happy boy. He always showed a great deal of care and concern for his brothers. He was the responsible older brother. He took good care of them, and I'm sure as an adult he took care of his fiancee and children. I know your family will find comfort in each other, and will find a way to celebrate Sandy's life.

My prayers go up and out to your family. I remember seeing Sandy on the dock at Frontier Packaging where I work as a Supervisor. It was approx. a week and a half ago, and I remember telling Sandy that he looked familiar. He told me who his dad was and it all kinda clicked. I gave him a couple of our company calendrs for 2006, shook his hand and on his way he went. I didn't know him personally, but from the times that I saw him here bringing loads and picking up containers, he was very personable, quiet and respectful. Much love to the Harmon family from myself and all of us here at Frontier Packaging.

Sandy, you were such a good man. You were so funny, so kind, so giving. You were such a good daddy to Violette, Austin, and Stevie. You and Christina were so good together. I had never seen her so in love. I feel crushed. I can't believe you're gone. It's just not fair.
