The source said that Harry and older brother Peter Jr ‘were’ inseparable brothers’ because ‘they complemented each other, they were always there for each other, and of course they fought like brothers do’.
Harry “had everything going for him” and “was far beyond his age,” noted the source.
The family also opened up about their passion for writing, style and fashion after his death.
They called him ‘a pioneer in men’s beauty and cosmetic products’ while ‘collaborating with a major brand in a unisex cosmetics line’, talking about his MAC cosmetics collaboration with Brother Peter.
‘He was also a dedicated writer for Interview Magazine and his dream was to be a much bigger part of the creative department. He has achieved a lot in his 24 years, but we will never have a chance to see how much more Harry could have done. ‘
In his modeling career, Harry walked the Balmain brand and was seen in the pages of Italian Vogue.
The family noted that ‘Harry was not only our son, he was also a wonderful brother, loving grandson, favorite uncle and caring friend.
‘He was a creative, loving and powerful soul that brought light to the hearts of so many people. He was really a beautiful person inside and out. ‘
The family closed the statement on a bleak note: ‘We will be forever sad that Harry’s life has been interrupted by this devastating illness. We ask that you allow the privacy of our family while we try to deal with the loss of our beautiful, beautiful boy. ‘
