Harold was a man full of humor and joy, with an infectious personality that made him loved by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Known for his goofy sense of humor, he could always be found making others laugh, often through the silly songs he wrote and shared on YouTube. He was charismatic and imaginative, always dreaming big, including his lifelong aspiration of becoming a ninja. His love for entertaining others and being a comedian brought light to those around him, leaving cherished memories for all.
Harold is survived by his loving mother Paula and her husband Steven Close; his father Dexter and his wife Dwynne; his sisters Amanda and her husband William Clark, Joyce and her husband Joey Rodringuez; as well as numerous extended family members and dear friends who will forever miss his laughter and presence.
He is preceded in death by his sister Ladonna Main, brother Howard Dexter Main, and his grandparents.
