Obituary of Kenneth David Harvey

Kenneth David Harvey, 60, passed away on Saturday January 10, 2015 at his home surrounded by friends and family. Service: 11 a.m. Thursday, 15 January 2015, McKinney Memorial Bible Church, 4805 Arborlawn Dr., Fort Worth, TX 76109. Ken was born on January 4, 1955 in Oxnard, Ca to Joseph and Marilyn Harvey. He moved to Gautier, MS as a teenager where he married his high school sweetheart Janet Lee Lindbloom and they had two children Julia Christine and David Matthew. He worked many years at Ingalls shipyard until the family moved to Fort Worth, TX when he began working at General Dynamics (later to become Lockheed-Martin) where he would retire 25 years later. He was an avid practical joker and his passion was taking care of his family. He was an explorer at heart and loved finding new places from the bottom of the ocean to the peaks of mountains. He enjoyed quiet fishing trips and holds the current record for biggest large-mouth bass caught on the Mary Walker Bayou, games of golf where he shot under 100, searching for lost treasure, church, and most of all spending time with his loved ones. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
