Ronnie posted a video where he tearfully talked about how his son was shot by a "coward."
This sentiment about his killer was mirrored in a heartbreaking post by his sister Lexy Shirley on Facebook where she shared the details of the upcoming funeral arrangements.
"I can’t believe that a cowardly excuse of a human stole you from us," Lexy's post said. "I can’t even truly put into words how I feel; my heart is shattered, and I need one of your hugs now more than ever."
Ron also made a post on his Facebook page stating: "He’s at peace now – waiting on the rest of us to arrive at those gates- we will be there soon Big Shur – and will always cherish the times we had while you were with us son."
Harley Shirley's uncle, Jason Shirley, spoke to WRAL News on Friday and stated that he was offering a $25,000 reward for information regarding Harley's death.
Police responded to the shooting around 8pm, where they found the boy, who went by Alex, dead in the parking lot of a Sheetz.
The altercation allegedly started three miles away, in a local resident's front lawn.
The balloon release honored Xavier Smith, who died in a car crash earlier this week.
The Shirley family starred in a reality show from 2011 to 2014 about their family business called Lizard Lick Towing.
