My heart goes out to you boys and I’ll miss you Phil. I do hope Jake and Josh stop smoking and drinking those poisonious energy drinks!

yours truly
Rich

we loved your show because of you and Sid. you really brought out what it is like being a fisherman and how hard & deadly fishing can be.
we are at lost with your passing. our hearts goes out to you and all your family Josh & Jake.
Canada will always remember your dad as the greatest King Crab Fisherman.

” First star on the right, and straight on til morning ”
May your waters be calm, may the wind always be to your back.
God’s speed Captain Phil.
Thanks for bringing my father and I closer before his death in 2008.

Capt Phil was the heart of the show, I watched on a regular basis and enjoyed him and his crew. We will miss seeing him and hope his boys will continue his dream of them taking over. RIP Capt Phil.

Josh and Jake I want to reach out and pass along my heart felt prayers for you and your family. I am another faithful viewer in Buffalo New York that will miss watching your father on the show. My six year old son always sat with me and new your dads name. He will be missed!!!

Josh and Jake may you find comfort knowing how much your Dad loved you boys. Please remember as fans we will never forget him. May God Bless you boys.

I have enjoyed Deadliest Catch since it first appeared on Discovery Channel. Captain Harris was the best. It will be hard to watch without Captain Harris barking orders ,downing red bull and having a cigarette burning. He faced death every time he went out to sea, and he died doing what he enjoyed. You can take the man away from the sea, but, you can’t take the sea out of the man. Jake and Josh so sorry for your loss.

Fisherman’s Prayer
I pray that I may live to fish…….
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord’s great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep
Our sympathies to the family and friends – especialy Jake and Josh.

Jake and Josh so sorry to hear about your Dad Phil.My husband and I send our sincere condolences and prayers and thoughts are with you and the family.We enjoyed watching Phil and the Cornelia Marie and always rooted for your Dad to have the most weigh of crab.The show will not be the same without him and will be SO sadly missed.We wish you all the best and remember your Dad will always be there in spirit. God Bless you all and Phil rest in peace goodbye to a great man and fisherman.
Rose & Dennis

Jake and Josh we send our love and prayers to you and your family in the loss of your dad. You were fortunate enough to have that time with him, so hold on to those memories. He was a very special man and he showed his love for family and friends on the show.Rest in Peace Capt Phil, see you on the other side.

This is a terrible thing to happen. I truly feel the loss and I am extremely saddened to realize that my popular restaurant chain may likely see a hike in price of crab related menu items. I hope Josh and Jake are able to continue your legacy, and continue to provide bountiful crab to keep the going rates down.

RIP Phil Harris….My thought go out to your friends and family. You were one of my favorites of the show Deadliest Catch. You will be greatly missed.. You had a wonderful father Josh and Jake keep the legend going….

Captain Harris, as a first mate myself, I have often had to rely to my Quaker values and Christianity to interpret the world around me. I’m infinitely glad you never let any madness set about you that caused a man I once new to capitulate on his sanity and choose revenge on animal that lacks reason. For this, I bid you a safe journey aboard the Pequod into the bosom of love. Sleep well, sweet prince.

Our prayers go out to the family.We are big followers of Deadlist Catch from the beginning. Phil will be missed.

my thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this time of need you will be greatly missed.my family and i enjoyed your show a lot. never missed it and we always watched to see what you would do next.god bless you and your family. r.i.p capt.Phil .

To the family of Capt Phil Harris, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother on mothers day 2009. I no that it is very hard. Me and my brothers never missed an episode. Phil was a great person and father. he will be missed.

A man’s man, a true salty dog. Huge fan of yours, and your sons (Jake & Josh). Hope that they, carry your legacy on. Thanks Phil, you will be sorely missed. Thank you for all the happiness brought into our lives. May God allow you to Rest in Peace. From Prescott, AZ.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harris family on the loss of their father and friend. We love the show and have watched it from the beginning. Know that your father is with you on the water watching over you. I also lost my father whos birthday would be tomorrow, I never stopped missing him and neither will you but know that he is always with you. Be safe and God Bless

The Fisherman’s Prayer
God grant that I may live to fish

As big enough to keep.

Dear Captain Phil,
You were so gracious when my nephew passed away. You sent his family some memorable items. And we were so very grateful. Now it is our time to grieve your loss and pray for Josh & Jake. My hope is that our Cody was up there welcoming you aboard and that you will be in peace. You will be so missed!

Gonna miss seeing Phil on the show. Its like I personally know him and his boys from the past few years. Carry on his tradition you two sons, he would want it that way. Jake and Josh, dont fight over who is going to be captain, itll come.

I never met Phil or his boys but I feel like I have known them my hole life. I never missed one of the deadlised catch shows.He and all the crab fisherman put their life on the line every day and night to catch crab and to make a life for themself and their crews.My familys thougts and prayers are with Jake and Josh.

Phil Harris may have died at the age of 53 but he packed more living into that short time span than most people who live to 100 do. Sure, he could have taken better care of himself – but then he wouldn’t have been Phil. And he wouldn’t have been remembered so well.

God bless the Harris family. I got to work with my dad and we didn’t do it as well as the Harris’ did.

Jake and Josh, I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is so much like many others…the proud father enjoying his sons develop into strong young men. I have prayed for your dad since the blood clot episode, and kept you all in my thoughts and prayers since then. Capt Phil was one of a kind and will be greatly missed by his extended family.
Rest in peace Capt Phil

A man larger than life,will be missed by those of us who never met him. Our prayers for the family and friends left behind is that you find comfort in that Phil has had a impact on so many people that he never knew. God Bless you all.

Very sad day! You will be missed phil. To all the crew may your head stay high and your spirits higher. Sorry for your loss. You will all be in my prayers !!!!!!!

sorry for your loss of your dad.phil was so serious and yet funny on the show i will miss him as much as anybody.i am a great fan of the show did not miss a one as i grew up and lived in ballard,wa.home of fishermans terminal.i grew up across the street form a king crab skipper richard enslow..i did not no how dangerous your jobs are..but thanks for catching them so the whole world can enjoy the best seafood around.i also know edgar hansen..rip phil you will be missed

God Bless t Captain Phil’s famiy and close friends…much love to you all!! Many prayers and thoiughts are with you!! He will be missed!!!!

Like all these other kind condolences I do feel much the same. It just came as a shock to me to find out this terrible news but it is reality like the countless shows of the Deadliest catch that i have watched so closely. I’m very sad to hear this news and I now know that even the toughest of people are not immortal. Thank you Phil for the first class crabbing experience brought to millions of us world wide, we surely enjoyed every moment of your kind but explosive personality and your willingness to teach your sons what it takes to survive on the high seas in the craziest of conditions. Josh and Jake you guys run with the torch now and you should both be very proud and grateful for your fallen hero, as we are.
Thank you captain Phil. . . it was a great Voyage.

RIP phil i will miss you just like the other people do rest in peace

When I found out yesterday, it brought me to tears. I felt like I had lost a close friend. Capt. Phil wasn’t just a fisherman or a guy on TV; he was a great friend, a wonderful father and most of all, a fearless fighter. I never met him in person but I’m sure everyone can agree that he has found his way into the hearts of so many thousands of people across the country. My sympathies go out to Josh and Jake… I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. Just know that he’s not in pain anymore. God Bless.

Oh God Phil. I am really going to miss you. You are a great father,great fisherman,great captain and a wonderful human being. I am so , so sorry for your loss Josh and Jake. My heartfelt condolences to you both, the Pacific fleet, discovery channel, and the rest of Phil’s family and friends.God go with you Phil.

Dear Phil and crew. I was a fisherman for 23 years.I loved the f/v C M . you were the leader of the pack.God bless!

My sincerest sympathy goes out to the family of Captain Phil. I find this to be one of the more interesting shows today to watch and Phil was a very memorable part of this show.

Jake and Josh, our thoughts and prayers are with you boys and your family through this difficult time.

Oh Phil, I am feeling like I lost a family member. You are already missed. God Bless you Jake and Josh. You were so good to your dad. You have big shoes to fill but I have no doubt you will make him proud.

My deepest condolence to the family. You will missed. I watched and felt he was part of my family.

Capt Phil – Fair winds and following seas.

I am so sorry for your loss. Phil loved you boys. Always remember what he tought you and you’ll do alright. I still can’t believe it. Take care of yourselves and stay healthy. We will miss Phil very much…. Keep strong for your dad

The master of the universe has summoned to his side one of his finest crab boat skippers .His gain is great our loss is greater. Although we never met, you will be sadly missed,by all in my house that watched you with you son,s. Ride those heavenly waves in peace old friend, because that is how we think of you . Guide your sons to those crabs and keep them safe. And as has already been said “Safe Passage Phil.” From all your friends in West Australia. RIP.

I have been addicted to “Deadliest Catch” since episode #1 Capt. Phil Harris was my favorite skipper. He somehow pulled off the VERY dangerous positions of crab boat Captain, and fisherman. On top of that, he had a ready smile and was a bit of a jokester at heart. We will all miss his humor, his wisdom, and a all-around great guy. I pray for Josh and Jake. I know that God will look after his two sons and help them remember the good times. We have all lost a good guy. God Bless.

My sincere condolence to the Harris family on the passing of your dearest family member.
My family and i have enjoyed many nights watching the deadliest catch down here in Townsville Australia, Phil will be sadly missed by all.
I hope the show will continue in his memory.

Jake, Josh, and Family of Captain Phil,
Cast and Crew of Cornelia Marie, Deadliest Catch, Your Dad’s dedication, work ethic and courage are an inspiration to thousands and thousands around the world. His passing on is such a shock and a great loss to all of us, and may it bring you comfort to know that he is with you where ever you go and that in the future you will be reunited for eternity. Take each day, minute by minute and you will find his strength to carry on and you have already made him proud and you will continue to do so. Our sincerest sympathies in the loss of your loving father, captain, leader and friend, who always did his superior best in loving, teaching, guiding and providing for you.

both you young men should be able to work together. I think if you two worked in sync god would give you everything.
best reguards steve

no wonder the guy died ,how many packs a day did he smoke? i guess he had enough nails for his coffin,i am sure his kids will follow the same doomed path.

RIP, always love to watch the show, and Phil on the Cornillia Marie was my favorite boat on the show, i hope his family is alright

The thing that touched us most about Captain Phil Harris of the C.M. was how completly human and real he was to us. A real man with real problems trying to be the best Captain and the best man and father he could be. He loved his sons his boat and his crew. The other captains seemed to look up to Phil with his earthy tatooed wisdom. He was so easy to relate to, a real father trying to inspire his sons to grow up and be strong enough to make it without him. RestEasy dear old friend. All will be well.

Our deepest sympathy to the family for their loss. During these hard times, it was excellent that he shared his work and experiences with his sons. Thank you for allowing us, the public, to see into your lives through the show. We love the show and we loved this family, one that stood by each other through their differences and through illness. God Bless and Be Safe.

Hi Boys
