It is with profound sadness that we inform you of the sudden passing today of Jason Berry, upper school coach and English teacher, and husband to MaryEllis Deacon, Harker’s alumni director. He collapsed and died in his home of apparent heart failure. Our parents and students have been notified, and arrangements have been made to help our students, faculty and staff in coping with this sad loss. Mr. Berry was a beloved member of the Harker community. He challenged and stretched his students and athletes, and endeared himself to all with his warmth and whip smart humor. A celebration of Mr. Berry’s life will be forthcoming. Details will be posted here and on the Harker website. The family has asked for condolences to be sent through Lori Villareal at [email protected]. I know we all share the grief of this sudden loss, and our focus will be to continue providing needed support to our students, faculty, staff and alumni during this sad time. - Christopher Nikoloff, Head of School
