Sean was born May 31, 1969, to Gary and Linda (Farnsworth) Harvey in Davenport, IA., On September 18, 1999 he was united in marriage to Ty Ann Hart in Port Byron, IL.
He proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1987-1991, deployed in Desert Storm with the 1st Calvary Division.
Sean had an amazing work ethic and was a Carpenter of Local #4, working for Precision Builders.
There is no way to describe Sean in one word or one simple sentence. Sean was a man who never met a stranger, a man of his word, and always there to help people. He lived his life to the fullest. He always told you what you NEEDED to hear, not what you WANTED to hear.
Sean had many enjoyments in life and “glamping” was one of them. Sean was and always will be the proudest Papa ever.
Those left to cherish his memory include his loving and devoted wife, Ty Harvey; his beautiful children: Maze Harvey,Samantha (Lanny) Nichols, Sean Harvey II, Seth (Alana) Harvey, Brandon (Ashley) Harvey, and Jessica (Adam) Day; mother, Linda Harvey; sisters, Veronica Harvey and Denise Harvey; brothers Tom, Gary, and Bud Harvey; grandchildren: Paislie “Frog”, Landen “Turtle”, Ahbreonna “Power House”, Laylah “Sassy”, Kendalyn “Vegas”, Brindlynn “Chones”, Jace “Skivvies”, Fallyn “Hollywood”, arriving any day, Bentley, Jenna “Half Pint”, Jameson “Little Man”, and Wyatt “Turkey”; along with several nieces, nephews, and many special friends who were family.
Sean was preceded in death by his father Gary Harvey Sr; sisters Valorie Harvey, Nori Crouse; and fur Babies Chase, Chance, Bugger & Possum.
There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family. They say you cannot chose your family, but in Sean’s case he did just that surrounding himself with those he loved.
