Michael G. Harvey, age 78 of Spencer, Indiana passed away Tuesday August 27, 2024 at the I.U. Health Hospice House in Bloomington, Indiana. He was born April 21, 1946 in Danville, Illinois to Leonard and Nora (Taylor) Harvey. Michael married Diana (Langley) Harvey in Spencer, Indiana on July 19, 1969. Michael was a career Army veteran retiring after 20 years of service to his country. He later was a letter carrier for the United States Post Office and served as the Owen County Veterans Service Officer. Michael was a member of the Spencer Christian Church, as well as an active member of the Owen County Veterans Honor Guard and was very involved with the Veterans Park in Spencer. In his free time he enjoyed reading and sitting on his porch. Mike's goals in life were to be a good Christian, a good husband and father, a good volunteer, a good fisherman and mushroom hunter, and to try to love everyone as he loved his family. He hoped that he was able to accomplish most, if not all, of these goals.
Michael is survived by his wife; sons, Bradley (Tracy) Harvey and Brian (Marlena) Harvey; granddaughters, Gabriella Tucker, Sophia Harvey, and Arwen Harvey; sisters, Florence Northcut, and Vicky Wagner.
