Harvey Risewick Obituary
July 19, 1939 - September 14, 2014
Harvey "Rise" Risewick, 75 of Keizer, Oregon, died September 14 peacefully at his home.
He was born in Buffalo, NY, on July 19, 1939 to Harvey and Elizabeth Risewick and was the fourth of five children. Harvey served in the US Navy and Air Force. He worked for the Teamsters and was the Ombudsman for the State of Oregon. Harvey lived every day to its fullest. He was always quick to offer a hand or kind words and always wore a smile. To know him was to love him. His laughter was contagious, he always had a witty quote and his stories were epic. He lived big and loved big. His love for his direct family, extended and elect family was infinite. If you needed fatherly advice, he was always quick to share whether you were of blood or not. Harvey was completely unconditional. He lived by the Golden Rule: So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you (Matthew 7:12). He enjoyed classic cars and traveling. He loved his Levi's and cowboy boots. His greatest joys were his grandchildren.
He was survived by his sister Beverly Diet of Buffalo, NY; children: Harvey Crow of Seattle, WA, TyRae Risewick(Jim Falkner) of Newport, OR, Louis (Leslie) Risewick of Keizer, OR, Nicole (Jed) Dowell of Keizer, OR; and his grandchildren: Edward, Emily and Claire Dowell; Tristen and Audry Williams and Henry Risewick.
Per his wishes he will have a Military burial at sea. He will go out to sea on his final voyage and there may he rest in peace!
A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, October 5th at 11:00a.m. at Log House Gardens, 5655 Windsor Island Rd N, Keizer, OR 97303. Arrangements entrusted to Keizer Funeral Chapel. Please share your memories at www.keizerchapel.com

Harvey and I worked together for many years. He was a friend and coworker. He could always be counted on to "Tell it like it was". In his capacity as "Oregon's Ombudsman he solved many and varied problems for Oregon's Injured Workers. And as a friend he was always there for you. He was a man of integrity and respect. I am proud he called me a friend. He will be missed.

Harvey was one of the nicest people that I've ever met. Always smiling and cracking jokes. He loved his family and in every photo with his grandchildren it's evident he adored them. He truly will be missed. RIP with the Angels Harvey.
