HARVEY: Neil of Ilderton

December 22, 2021 By Haskett Funeral Homes 142 Condolences

HARVEY: Neil of Ilderton
BAckground Poem Harvey W300

 

With broken hearts, the family shares Neil’s tragic passing on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 of Ilderton at the age of 39. Proudest dad in the entire world of his son Hunter Harvey. Cherished son of Janice (Leatham) and Stephen Harvey. Beloved grandson of Eleanor and the late Bob (2014) Leatham, and Bob and the late Stephanie (2020) Harvey. Much loved brother of Beth and Nick Cake, and Sean and Natalie Harvey. Fun uncle “Nene” of Aubrey, Theo, and Bennett Cake and Lincoln, and Cameron Harvey. Lovingly remembered by his girlfriend Lindsey Adams. Cherished by his many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Adored by his 4 legged son Nash, Neil’s PTSD service dog.

Neil’s big, infectious smile was known to all whom he crossed paths with. As a proud paramedic in Lambton County, past training officer for Ilderton Fire Services, and an instructor in the paramedic program at Lambton College, Neil could always be found dedicating his time, energy, and knowledge to help his peers, students, and co-workers learn and grow to be the best they could be. But above all he loved to be spending time with his family, friends and most importantly, his son.

    While we only met Neil a handful of times we can say a few things for certain. It was nearly impossible not to laugh with him. He made Lindsey very happy. He always went out of his way to include everyone in conversation. And he had no shortage of Hunter stories to tell with a beaming smile on his face.
    We’re sorry we didn’t get a chance to know him more and have him as part of our for family longer.
    Our sincere condolences to Lindsey, the Harvey family, Neil’s friends, coworkers and anyone else his life touched.

    Dear Steve, Janice, Beth & Nick & kids, Sean & Natalie & kids, Grandma Eleanor and Grandpa Bob and extended Harvey and Leatham families.

    It is with heavy hearts that we send our love, hugs and condolences to all of you. It is never easy to lose a loved one and even more tragic and painful when it’s your child, grandchild or a sibling.

    We remember Neil –

    – from the time he was a little guy as a neighbor on George St and him
    having that sparkle in his eye, that cheek to cheek smile and the laughter and fun he brought with him wherever he went.

    – serving in many capacities over his 39 years and his incredible dedication in rescuing people and saving many, many lives.

    -as a loving father, son, brother, relative, friend and co-worker and he has left his mark and wonderful memories on a lot of people.

    We’ll raise a toast to Neil as we celebrate his life.

    R.I.P.
    Neil. ❤

    To the Robert E Leatham family:

    It goes without saying but I hope that hearing it will give you some sense of solace.

    You have an army behind you including a big, beautiful green Leatham army eager to lend support to Bob and Eleanor Leatham’s family et al. We weep with and for you. We feel your pain and bear some of it with you. This is a tragedy of epic proportion’s and we cannot fathom your loss.

    For Eleanor, she sees the pain in her children as well as the loss of a grandchild. For Janice and Stephen , Neil’s loss can be nothing less than devastating. As well, the depth of grief to his siblings Sean and Beth is so very sad. Melanie and Paul mourn for themselves as well as their Sister and her family. We extend wholehearted sympathies to the following generation as well. We fully recognize the grief of the whole Harvey family and the loss for Hunter. We want them to know our acknowledgement and empathy for their pain across our cousin Stephen’s family!

    So many losses for so many people on so many levels. Neil’s memories will live on in each of us! Your minds eye seeing his smile. Your minds ear hearing his voice and laughter.

    This death cannot be meaningless! We have created a legacy of Neil for our family representing what he meant to us. Carrying him with us in our soul, hearts and minds!

    I hope that you will be able to draw strength from the family connection that has always been so strong among the Leatham Clan. You realize, I am certain, that we all hold you in our hearts with unwavering support and caring and concern during this very difficult time. When one of us hurts we all hurt! For myself, know I am here for you in anyway that I can be of support.

    With deepest Love

    My deepest condolences to the Harvey family.

    I used to work with Neil at Voyageur. Coming into work and seeing “Harvey” on the schedule, you knew it was going to be a great shift. He’d always beep in and say “I’ve got a story for you when we get back to base”, and they were always good ones!
    He was a genuinely good person, who was so easy to get along with, and had an amazing sense of humour.
    Love you Harv.

  48. Ann and Andy McGregor

    December 27, 2021 at 1:54 AM

    As we read through the condolences posted, we noticed a strong consensus about Neil expressed by many, whether they knew him well, or were just briefly acquainted – “caring, compassionate, infectious smile, contagious laugh, dedicated, generous soul, firecracker, supportive, brightened any room.” are just a few that stood out. What a very special guy he was, and as time goes on these many qualities of his will pop up in your memories and hopefully calm the extreme sadness you are feeling now. In the meantime, please take comfort from the many, many blessings and condolences being sent to all of you. We are unable to attend the visitation or service but please know that we hold you all tightly in our hearts and send gentle hugs and caring thoughts your way. Ann and Andy McGregor

    Dear Janice, Stephen, Beth, Sean & families-
    It’s become impossible to find the words to express the sorrow felt with this significant loss. I’m so grateful that some of my most cherished Medway memories include Neil. His big Harvey grin (dimples and all) matched his beautiful personality, coupled with his drive to always serve others.
    I have no doubt that the outpour of love and support over this tragedy will reflect the impact he had on all of us.
    Sending you my most sincere condolences.

    Dear Harvey Family,
    We are praying everyday for your loss. Our hearts are broken and our deepest sympathy is with all of you during this difficult time. Neil will never be forgotten and we will always remember his smile, his laughter and his big heart. “He is in the sun, the rain, he’s in the air you breathe with every breath you take. He’s singing a song of hope and cheer, there’s no more pain, there’s no more fear. You’ll see him in the clouds above, hear him whisper words of love. You’ll be together before long and until then listen to his song”….this I truly believe. We love you, we are sending hugs and kisses to help comfort you.
    David and Gina xxo
