Harlan Harvey

  Harlan Gene Harvey, age 68, of Everson, left the arms of his family and was welcomed to Heaven early Monday morning, Oct. 26, 2015.
  Harlan was gifted in many things. He became a friend to everyone he met, lent a hand to anyone in need and prided himself on his knack for trucks, engines and earth-moving equipment. His passion for people and good conversation gave him opportunity to bless many throughout his life, especially as he shared his love for the Lord over the past months.
  Harlan enjoyed married life. He married his soulmate Maria Luisa (Malou) Ortez on Oct. 20, 2012. Together they enjoyed taking drives in the ’64 Dodge and traveling to the Philippines, Arizona and Nevada. A stroke in July 2014 cut short his wanderlust. He dreamed of one last trip to the Philippines, but the discovery of advanced pancreatic cancer took away the chance.
  Harlan leaves his wife Malou; children Robert (Stephanie) Harvey, Randi (DL) Lautenbach, Kami (Greg) Douglas, Kraig (Katie MacDonald) Harvey and Tim (Lenneth) Pham Harvey; grandchildren Brehana (Alvaro) Fregoso, Brady Harvey and Kobi and Kase Lautenbach; two granddaughters arriving this winter; his mother, Barbara Harvey; brother Allen (Karen) Harvey; and many other relatives.
  Harlan was preceded in death by his father, Robert R. Harvey.
  A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015, at 2 p.m. on the Deming Logging Show grounds, 3295 Cedarville Rd., Bellingham, WA 98226. Please share your thoughts and memories online at www.sigsfuneralservices.com.
