Michael Harvey Obituary
Born on August 15, 1969, in Grosse Pointe, MI to Michael Harvey and Margaret Gallan. Michael eventually moved with his Mother to North County San Diego.
A devoted father to his daughters Isabella and Chelsea, Michael's love for his daughters shines in countless ways. His love extended beyond his family to his loyal companion, Lexi, his beloved dog.
Michael was a man of many talents and passions. As a skilled handyman and carpenter, he had a knack for fixing things and turning the ordinary into extraordinary. If you could dream it, he could build it. His artistic flair shone through his work as a tattoo artist, where he brought stories and emotions to life on skin.
An adventurer at heart, Michael found solace and joy in the freedom of fixing and riding motorcycles and chasing waves as a surfer. These experiences brought him closer to nature and filled his soul with boundless energy and excitement.
In every aspect of his life, Michael embodied resilience, creativity, and a zest for living fully. His warm smile, good conversation, kind heart, and infectious laughter will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
As we bid farewell to Michael Scott Harvey, we honor his memory by carrying forward the love, passion, and adventurous spirit that defined his remarkable journey through life.
Survived by his daughters Chelsea and Isabella. His father Michael (Susan) and mother Margret. His sisters Jennifer (Judd), Brielyn (Bryan), and Jessica (Salvatore). His cousins, Kevin (Paulette), Dorothy (Dan), John, Amy, Ejay, Jenna, Randy, and Eric. His dog, Lexi.
To honor Michael's memory, a celebration of life will be held at Santee Lakes Picnic Area "S" on May 31st from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in Michael's honor to the American Heart Association.
