Harvey Wayne Stone, 84, of Ballentine, passed away peacefully on Friday, Jan 31st, 2025. He was born on August 3, 1940, the son of the late Dan and Maggie Stone. He married Betty Louise Meetze on February 16, 1963.

Mr. Stone was a lifelong member of Bethel Lutheran Church. Harvey was a graduate of Lex/Rich High School and served in the Army National Guard.

Harvey enjoyed working on his 68’ Volkswagens over the years and even helped work on several neighborhood kids’ vehicles.

Surviving are his three sons Barry (Cynthia Chouinard); Brent (Carmen Boatwright); and Brian (Melissa Browne); four grandchildren, Emily Rose Mary Stone, Aleena Olivia Louise Stone, Frederick Avery Hefner, and Maggie Eliza Stone; sister, Aldaray Carnes, and his beloved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, his brother, Donald Stone, and his maternal and paternal grandparents.
