Dennis Paul Harvey

Our loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great grandfather, peacefully returned to his Father in Heaven in Glendale, AZ on November 21, 2022 at the age of 83. He was born October 29, 1939 to Mero Bartz Harvey and Orpha Sellers Harvey. He married the love of his life, Charlene Wood, on December 12, 1958 and were later sealed in the Logan Utah Temple on January 12, 1963.

Dennis and Charlene worked together to make their home a heaven on earth where their children were nurtured and loved. He was a devoted husband and father and led his family by example. His greatest joy was spending time with family at family gatherings, golfing with his sons or visiting on the phone with loved ones. One of the hallmarks of his life was his tender, loving care for Charlene in her final years.

He was a faithful and devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served faithfully in many callings. Through his dedicated service he touched many lives.

He worked hard throughout his life to provide a comfortable living for his family. In his younger years, he acquired a variety of skills as a painter, barber, and real estate agent. He had a 30-year career with Mountain Bell and AT&T. After retiring from AT&T, he had a 21-year career as a Farmers Insurance agent.

Dennis believed that he lived at the best time in the history of the world! He loved life and enjoyed hunting, fishing, archery, golf, reading (especially Louis L’Amour) and writing poetry. His legacy of poems is a real family treasure! He was loved deeply by his children and adored by his grandchildren and will truly be missed!
