Harjit was a positive ball of energy and light. He was very approachable and down to earth to all those who met him and knew him. He was a wonderful listener who created a safe space for anyone who needed it. Harjit impressed me a lot for his young age with the maturity he conducted himself beyond his years. I had the privilege of working with him on the natomas chamber as a board member and he served so selflessly with his time, ideas and generosity. Harjit was always very solution oriented and tried to put a positive spin no matter the situation which I truly admired about him. It’s a major loss to the universe for his spirit to be dimmed because he was always a bright shining light wherever he went with a big smile of him. Sending lots of love to his parents, sister and family. It’s a heartbreaking loss but what an incredible human being we were all lucky enough to cross paths with. May his soul rest in peace and his spirit contribute to live on through the lives he touched.

I once did something troubling and needed to clean the tracks before someone noticed. While I was busy at work, you cleaned up the mess like nothing ever happened. That was you. Committed to what you wanted to be committed to. My only regret is not cherishing these little moments enough in your company. I look for a sign everywhere to let me know you hear, see, and watch me thinking of you. I am still waiting and hope to get one.

I only knew Harjit for a couple of years, but I considered him a friend. We served on the Chamber Board together and bonded in the way where you can share thoughts with the flick of an eye or a glance. Harjit always spoke from his heart and he truly cared about the people he chose to have in his universe. He was a light in a room and brought joy to all around him, My heart will always have a little spot in it for my friend whom I will miss dearly.

I have had the honor to know Harjit for the past 10+ years. He went to high school with my younger brother and instantly became a member of our family. From attending family events to casual after school hangouts he was such a refreshing soul to be around. He his contagious smile and words of wisdom will always be remembered and forever missed.

This loss is a tragic one for the community, I have lost a younger brother and wonderful friend. My heart truly aches and thoughts and prayers go out to Harjit’s mother, father, sister and beloved friends who loved him. Harjit will forever remain in our hearts!

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one”
― Bruce Lee

A quote that you shared a few times in conversation. And I believe this quote summarizes your short, memorable life very well. You lived by it regardless of the ups and downs. Sending my heartiest condolences to the family, friends and loved ones.

Word can simply not express the loss of such a genuine and caring soul. Harjit…such a dedicated, compassionate, and joyful friend whom I will always remember and cherish. He was selfless, curious, eager to learn, and so giving. My heart breaks with his loss. Also, I would like to offer my deepest condolences to his family and to share that his smile, contributions to the community, and memory will always live on.

Harjit Gill was a special part of the Natomas community. As Vice President of the Natomas Chamber of Commerce, he welcomed businesses and residents to this region and contributed to a better life for many of us.

Harjit was an intelligent and complex human, as we all are. But his place in our Natomas lives cannot be underestimated. Harjit was a friend of N magazine, and full of humor and fun. We will not be working together as planned, but, more importantly, he is now free to explore the universe of all our beginnings. He will be missed, but we recognize that he left the Earth a better place for his presence, and that makes us all smile.

It wasn’t until this year that through my work efforts I had the pleasure in getting to meet Harjit. Harjit was very helpful and his can-do attitude was one that was nice to work with! I was looking forward to future collaborations. I am sad to hear this news and know he had so much more to give to his community. Sending condolences to his family, community and all that had the pleasure in working with Harjit.

Harjit,

It seems unreal that you are gone. You were such an amazing and inspiring person. Your willingness to help others was always truly appreciated. You can always be counted on if someone needed help. I will cherish the memories we had together. I wish we could have made more but Heaven was calling you. It’s too soon that you left and I know your legacy will live on. We will all celebrate your life for the kind and great human being that you were. Your memory will live on as this tree blossoms and grows. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. May your soul rest in peace.
