Harold "Mor Fun" Welch

Harold Welch Obituary

Harold Welch, "Mor Fun', we are all blessed to have him in our lives. 'Fun' was one of the most generous, warm, and endearing men I have ever met. Which is ironic, because there was an intensity about him that even the strongest of men would fear. I think that intensity was passion, and I think that passion was life itself.

Mor Fun loved life and he lived it with honesty, integrity, and generosity. He was an honorable man to say the least. He was a wonderful father, unwavering in his core beliefs, with an undying loyalty and commitment to his family, brothers, and the ones he loved. If you were afforded the luxury of Harold Welch to call you brother, then your life was enriched.

We will miss our brother Mor Fun, with a sincere smile, a laugh that could fill a stadium, and at your lowest times that reassuring hug and his words "Don't worry bro, we'll handle it." So God bless you Fun.

Harold Welch lives on in the memory of his mother, Wanda Welch; his father, Joel Welch; his brother, Larry Welch; sisters, Jodee Welch and Nita Smith; several nieces and nephews; and countless brothers and sisters. He is survived by his son, Jason Welch, 33; and his daughter, Aynjilee Welch, 22.

I only knew you a short while but "impressionable" is my word for your impact on me. So many things I do now are a direct result from you. I'll never forget May 5 '07. Thank you!!
Thought about you alot on my road trip in Sept. I only wish we could have done some riding together.
Thanks for the memories I do have.
You are missed everyday----

Jason,
This is a really sweet memorial page and guestbook and I hope it gives you comfort. Sorry I didn't sign on a long time ago to say Hi. I saw your dad just a day or two before the accident and he was larger than life as usual. Its hard for me to believe that he is gone. Anyway as I'm sure you know, he loved you very much and was really happy about how life was going and working with you in the business. Take care, Denise (old friend of Harold's)

Hey Uncle. Never thought it would be so rough without you. I try to stay positive but you were my strength during so many difficult times. I find myself alone and without anyone to lean on. Wish you were still here with me. I miss you more now than ever.

man I miss you! Sometimes I pick up the phone and call, but you never answer in the day, you wait until night when I'm sleeping. I used to be afraid to go to sleep due to my nightmares. Now I find myself looking forward to closing my eyes, waiting to do something with you again.Thanks for coming to visit!!! You will always be my magic. Forever in my heart and dreams......Love, Jenine

Well....It's been a year since the last time I heard your smiling sarcastic voice on the other end of the phone. I miss you teasing me and laughing at me. The booming sound of your laughter will never be forgotten. Neither will your words of encouragement and praise. I made it half way through my MBA and start again on the 27th to finish it. Another 8 months and I'll be done. You won't be there to suprise me like you did at my college graduation....which is something I will never forget....but I know you would be proud of me like always. I'll do my best to smile and not cry when I think about you....too many happy times to be sad....too bad there weren't many more. I am thankful to have had you in my life and may your strength, along with moms, encourage me the rest of my years. I am not a big believer in an after life but I do believe that people live on in the memories of others....may many people think of you often and keep you alive as long as possible. I miss you and love you.

I will never forget all the great times we shared. Your loving son, Jason

it's new year's day, and i am missing you. i want to hear your voice again. i want to look up into your eyes and see them twinkle as you tell me the stories that made your life. i know that you don't even know how much you touched people with your smile, with your words, with your hugs; you were just being you. you didn't know just what an impact that was...still is, on everyone who was lucky enough to have known you. our time together was so wonderful, so sad, much too short; I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. what you meant to me, what you meant to robert and falon - she still asks where you are - i can't even begin to put into words. robert told me yesterday that you were the best man he ever knew; i feel the same way. i love you. you will be in my heart forever. and thinking of you will always bring a smile, even through all these tears.

I met Harold "professionally" you might say. He stuck with me and I'm glad he did. He became one of the best friends I ever had and I will miss him greatly. He has gone and left a great void in my life, and a hole in my soul. I think of you often Bro, and remember your laugh, your great bear hug and your words. I will never look at a bag of peanuts again without thinking of you.

Harold will be missed. I am the next wife of of his Uncle Miekey.
The last time I saw Harold, was in Hobbs NM. a long time ago. He rode up on his bike. My kids loved him!
Harold was speical,even then. I do wish that I had kept in touch with him. However I have thought of him and his brother, Larry.and sisters.. Nita and Tammy. Met the baby sister once.
Someday Harold will met all us at the Golden Gate on his bike.
We were Blessed to have known him for the time we had.
GOD bless his family and friends
