Franklin G. Tate wrote a sympathy message

“Wesley 'Holy' Harris was my best friend: A talented Hall of Fame college athlete in several sports, a writer, a Biblical philosopher, and a planter of gardens of crops grown annually (that he gave freely to the hungry or anyone who asked). Like his Savior, Holy was a friend that stuck closer than a brother. I, his beloved family, his many friends, church family and the strangers who only met him....will miss him dearly and thank God for his life that touched so many of ours.”
