Harlyn was born in Arnaudville, Louisiana February 13, 1950 and was a graduate of Redemptorist High School.

After serving his country he returned to Baton Rouge to begin a successful business career. He spent the past 20 + years in Venezuela with a focus of business development for MMR South American operations. He will forever be remembered as a man true to his core values/beliefs, his pride in being an American, and his unwavering love for LSU sports.

"Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean." "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the man who died, rather we should thank God that the man lived."
