Steve Harvey, 68, passed away on Sunday, October 15, 2017 at 3:15 a.m. Steve served 2 years in Vietnam (He left the war, but the war never left him). After completing his time he returned and went to Drill Instructor Academy for the Army. After getting out of the military he went into siding with his father-in-law, which then led into home building where he found his passion. He worked for Clark & Companies for 15 plus years, then to work for Hubbell Homes, and Kimberly Development.

Steve’s biggest joy other his grandchildren was family camping, dragging his smoker to the camp grounds for family functions, and driving his stock cars. One of the biggest joys in his life once a year was being Secret Santa to a family in need.

Steve has left behind to cherish his memories, his best friend and wife, Patty of 46 years; two daughters, Leeanna Harvey and Rhonda Harvey (Steve); two beautiful granddaughters, Alexes Cummings and Brittney Cummings; and one Army Strong Grandson, Noah Harvey; three best friends, Ed Adock, Greg Moore, and Tony Nelson; five sisters; and three brothers.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Hill; and brother, Kenneth Harvey.
