" Jesus Haro was my uncle and he was a great man, had the most beautiful smile. he a heart as big as he was, his life was taken too soon but he is in a better place now! His reputation and laughter and love will be missed. One of his favorite quotes was "i dont want you to hear my words, I want you to feel them" and that we all did. RIP "Buddy" we will always remember the good times and you have left a lot of very good memories. Love and miss you very much! "

" I only met him once but he seemed like a nice guy... From what I have heard from people of Benson he was always there supporting his nieces & nephews sports. It is in God's hands and feeling no pain but I am sure his family and friends will miss him greatly. "
