Howard was born June 27, 1939, in Windsor, Missouri, beloved son of Randall and Ruby Harvey (Durham). On January 28, 1960 he married the love of his life, Janet Sue Harvey (Morgan). Howard and Janet respected and loved one another for next 30 years.
Mom and Dad moved to Buckner in August of 1960. Dad worked for 36 years at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. He also wrenched on cars at the Cozy Corners Garage on some occasions. He was also a Scout Master. In his retirement he was an amazing woodworker and could literally fix anything. Our weekends and summer vacations were spent with the family at Lake of the Ozarks and camping. In the winter he went deer hunting with friends and family on the Durham farm in Warsaw, MO. Deer hunting and fishing always brought on a great big smile.
Howard was the kindest man to anyone and everyone, NOT one person was a stranger. His brother once said he could talk your ear off, you might even see him talking to a fence post. Howard was a gentle man he loved his animals with pure passion. Dad was the very Best Dad in the whole wide World. He loved his grandchildren intensely.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Ruby and Randall; his wife, Janet Sue; brother, Melvin G. Harvey; aunt, Arlean Adair; granddaughter, Ocalla Victoria Snyder; father and mother-in-law, Logan and Urban Morgan.
He is survived by his son, Howard D. Harvey; daughter, Dana Burns-Johnston and son in law, Jeff Johnston; his sister, Lana Perry and her husband Kurt; his aunt, Dorothy J. Harvey; four grandsons: Jake, Logan, Jimmy and Jaren and their spouses; 11 great grandchildren; one niece; two nephews; and two great nephews.
