Our beloved father, Harley Allen Cargill, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2026, surrounded by his children.
Harley was a proud US Army veteran who carried his sense of duty and commitment throughout his life. He dedicated more than 20 years of service to Amway Corporation, where his strong work ethic and integrity were evident to all who knew him.
Above all, Harley was a devoted husband and father, and a cherished brother, papa, uncle, and friend. He loved the outdoors and found great joy in fishing and hunting. In later years, he became a gifted storyteller, sharing memories and lessons that will live on in the hearts of his family. His love for his family was unwavering, and he took immense pride in each of them.
Harley is survived by: his three children, Sarah (Geoff) Schultz, Thomas (Jayme) Cargill, and Craig (Melissa) Cargill. He was a proud grandfather to Cameron, Alex, and Abby Schultz, Julia (Aaron) Schaedler, Joel Murry, and Hayden and Addison Cargill. He was also blessed to be the great-grandfather of precious Willa Schaedler.
Harley is also survived by: his brother, Jerry (Mary) Cargill; his sisters and brothers-in-law Nancy (Bob) Grady, John (Beth) Foster, Sue (Jim) Lamie, and Stewart Foster.
Harley was preceded in death by: his beloved wife of 50 years, Mary Kay Cargill; his parents, Gerald and Mary Cargill; his sister, Arlene Cargill; his parents-in-law, Thomas and Kathleen Foster; and his brother-in-law, Thomas (Linda) Foster.
