The family would like to say a special thanks to his many doctors over the years and their staff, also a special thanks to the staff at Amedis and Hospice. Thank you to all the neighbors, and friends who helped in many different ways. And thank you to all the prayer warriors, who prayed for him and his family during these heart breaking days. GOD bless all of you!!

Harvey was a member of Vista Church, he loved going to church, and talking to people about the LORD. His favorite thing to do was coon hunting, and he spent many nights in the woods with his favorite dog Liz and many other dogs over the years. And if you ever hunted with him you also heard him talk about the LORD or pray in those woods. Of course there was nothing like time spent with his family, and grandkids. He had a heart of gold and a love for the LORD that he shared with everyone he knew.

Services will be conducted by Pastor Ray Thomas with Calvin Donohew singing, service time will be at 2:00PM on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at Waybright Funeral Home in Ripley, WV. Burial will follow at Siniaville Cemetery beside the church.

Pallbearers: Braedon Angel, Chad Bays, Joey Lovejoy, Terry Hager, Chad Anderson, Steve Pauley.

Friends may call two hours prior to the service at the funeral home.

This is not goodbye but will see you again daddy, LYBG.
