Eric “Ric” Thomas Harvester , 66, of Tampa Florida, passed away on October 19, 2019 at the James A Haley VA Hospital surrounded by family. Born in Bad Kreuznach, Germany on August 4, 1953, Ric was well-traveled and the youngest son of an Army Chaplain. His family made a home in Tampa, Florida where Ric graduated from Chamberlain High School in 1971. His lifelong love of rock and roll, college football (Go Gators!), and sports cars are some of the memories his family will cherish. A self-proclaimed curmudgeon, Ric’s sense of humor was not lost on those who knew him. He was a genuinely kind person who’s passion for those he loved was his shining attribute.
Ric was preceded in death by his father James Vernon Harvester, mother, Helen Grace Griffin, and brothers, Michael Raymond Harvester and James Vernon Harvester Jr. Ric is survived by siblings Paulette, Charles Lee, and Bryan Allen as well as children Eric Jr, Stephanie, Carolyn, Jeff, Jesica, Alissa, Katrina, Erica, 19 Grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
A celebration of life will take place at 10:00am on Friday, October 25, 2019 at Blount and Curry Funeral Home located at 3207 W. Bearss Ave. Tampa, FL. 33618
