After a 30 year career at Roadway trucking you could find him and his wife, Jean Gebhard, of over 40 years sitting on their back porch overlooking Lake Buchanan while enjoying listening to classic country music. If you couldn't find them there, you could find them at a BBQ competition where they became the ultimate Texas BBQ pitmasters for 20 years which included multiple cooker of the year awards and countless Grand Championships, building his team name and legacy for Smoke'Um and Stroke'Um. He was an avid angler who loved fishing with friends and family throughout the U. S. and Mexico both salt and freshwater. Harvey and Jean loved to country dance, winning many jitterbug contests at dance halls all across the Lonestar State.

He is survived by his wife Jean Gebhard of Burnet, children Sherry Bird of Burnet, Gary Gebhard of Burnet, Debbie and husband Steve Peek of Spicewood, Jay and wife Felice Baker of Dripping Springs, Diane and husband Mark Scandurra of Austin.
