Trevor HARVEY Obituary
10 March, 1948 - 4 March, 2023
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Trevor Harvey just prior to his 75th birthday at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Following complications of cancer, he passed away peacefully on his own terms, surrounded by his family.
Trevor was born in North Vancouver to Trevor and Doris Harvey, growing up in Deep Cove. Trevor lived life to the fullest. His career was varied, but his favourite was the 12 years with his own radio show at CJKC (Country) in Kamloops. Although he had several other jobs over the years, Radio was always in the background; marketing, advertising, voicing his own commercials and mentoring many. He also worked at Mt. FM Squamish/Whistler, CFVR Abbotsford, JR Country/CKNW, Nanaimo, Parksville, most recently the Raven in Campbell River.
He was most proud of his family: Jordana (Garrett) White, Andrea (Garrett) Symchuk and his grandchildren, Scarlett, Raeanna, Abigail and Gunner. He is also survived by his sisters, Cathy (Hugh) Stephens and Wendy Harvey (Murray Frame), and numerous nieces and nephews. He was active in his children's life, coaching wakeboarding, skiing and (he would say) field hockey. He was a natural athlete and excelled at whatever he tried: golf, downhill skiing (racing and coaching), cross-country skiing, cycling, and Taekwondo. He raced at a National level with the Master's downhill circuit and obtained his Dan Certificate (Black Belt) in Taekwondo. His love of sports lives on in his family, especially Mountain and Lake time.
He was an entertainer! He loved telling stories, writing songs, particularly family ones, and sang and played guitar. You didn't need to be around him long to be given a nickname, even though not always flattering! We would like to thank the staff of NRGH; the Doctors, Nurses, Lab professionals, Katie, and support staff. We also thank the numerous friends and family that connected with him in his final days. As ever the communicator, he appreciated the time, memories and fun stories you shared.
To honour and remember him, there will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, May 27th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Fish and Duck Pub on Sproat Lake. All are welcome.
He would want you to laugh and do something active every day. So go for that walk, run, bike ride or ski. Donations in Trevor's memory may be made to Canadian Tire Jumpstart Program at https://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca

My Condolences to the Harvey family. The last time I talked with Trev was during covid on facebook. My sister nick-named Trev "Gilligan" because of the cap he wore. Trev always had a smile on his face and when you went to his house he would make sure you met his dog Dicker-do as he would call him. You left too early my friend. RIP.

Dear Jordana and Andrea We are so sad to hear of your dads passing. Trevor was an old friend from soccer in N.Van to N.Kam to fun times at the N. Shuswap. T had a zest for life and there was never a dull moment with him around. We recall the time he had a crew come out to our old farm to film a commercial for his radio show complete with his fave horse Misty and a cowboy hat! Later t treated us to a private viewing an d we all laughed so hard. T never took himself too seriously that is what we loved about him. We will never forget him. from Bruce (B) and Noreen Magna Bay BC
