Mr. Thomas E. Harvey

Thomas Edward Harvey died at 92 years of age on June 15, 2023 in North Richland Hills. Born in Cookville, Texas on February 12, 1931, he was raised in Naples, Texas where he graduated from Paul Pewitt High School.

Upon graduation, Tom moved to Dallas where he joined the Air Force and married Margie Lavoyce Harvey in 1950. The couple had three children, Tom Jr., Rebecca Lavoyce and James Lawrence. After two years in the Air Force, his next job with LandAir, a miliary logistics support contractor required 16 years of constant relocation around the country before the family settled in Fort Worth in 1967. Following the passing of Margie in 2005, Tom re-married Hue Leita Fry, who subsequently passed in 2020. Outside of his career, Tom served as a Councilman of the City of Richland Hills from 1981 – 1986. His passion outside of work was enjoying his miniature horses when living in Richland Hills.

Tom served a forty-five-year career managing field team operations for the Army and Air Force at bases across the nation and around the world. His company, DynCorp grew to become the largest independent military support service contractor in the United States. Before his retirement in 1996, Tom received multiple and rare commendations from the military for his consistent quality services as a contractor, and a distinguished service award for his performance as an employee role model within DynCorp.

Tom was the fourth child of eight siblings. His passing was preceded by the death his older brothers Marshall and James (JE), younger brothers Jackie and Greg, and older sister Mary Harvey McEntire. He is survived by younger sisters Ramona Harvey McDaris and Martha Harvey Cowan.

He is also survived by his three children and their spouses: Tom Jr. (Marilee), Becky (Robb) and Jim (Peggy); five grand-children and their spouses: Dustin (Michele), Dakota, JoLynn (Allen), Jake and Tyler; six great-grand-children, Kaitlyn, Gage, Jase, Skylar, Taylor, and Oliver; and one great-great-grand-child Tatum.
