FRESNO, CA (KMJ) – A celebration of life is announced for a beloved Fresno pastor who died this month.
Harold Spees, known as H, died at the age of 70.
He fell after a cardiac event while in Florida on April 26th, and passed away in the Level 1 trauma center, there, on May 5th.
Spees had run for Fresno Mayor in 2016 – he didn’t win – but worked with the Dyer Administration on the city’s ongoing efforts to fight homelessness becoming the Director of Strategic Initiatives for Project Off-Ramp to bring the unhoused into shelter.
Mayor Jerry Dyer remembered his late friend and colleague on KMJ’s Broeske and Musson show.
He was that person that a lot of people went to when they were hurting, when they were in need, when they needed help. H was the guy that folks went to, including myself, H was the guy that I turned to. He was always available and I will miss him, I love him very much.

The event is being held from 3:00pm to 5:00pm at the Warnor’s Theatre in Downtown Fresno – the place he called home.
