Harvey Melvin Horwood
1952-2020
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of
Harvey Melvin Horwood, age 68. He passed peacefully away at his home
in Grand Falls-Windsor surrounded by his family, on Sunday, August 30,
2020. He has left this life with a special legacy for all who knew
him.
Harvey was born on April 29, 1952 in Twillingate, to his
proud parents Marjorie (Jenkins) and Melvin Horwood. He lived in
Twillingate for most of his life until work took him and his wife Joan
and their family to live in Grand Falls-Windsor.
Harvey worked as Fisheries Officer with the Department of
Fisheries and Oceans for 35 years. He began his career as a Fishery
Guardian, his true passion which was the foundation for his long and
successful career.
As a devoted family man, an avid outdoors man, and a true
lover of hockey, Harvey was a beautiful person, who was loved by all
and will be remembered as a man with a huge heart, as someone always
willing to lend a helping hand and always had a joke or story to tell.
He had many accomplishments in life; in hockey, with the Twillingate
Combines and their three all Newfoundland Championships and winning
the Men’s Championship race at the Royal St. John’s Regatta in 1974
and building a long career in public service. But his biggest
accomplishment was his family. Harvey loved his wife, his children and
grandchildren fiercely and could always be found sharing his passions
of hockey, hunting, fishing, boating and the outdoors with all of
them.
Harvey is survived by his wife Joan (Randell) Horwood, and
three sons Terry, Trevor (Crystal), and Todd (Lindsay); grandchildren,
Andrew, Tyler, Ella, Aaron, Abigail, Hannah, Emily, and Ashton.
Parents; Melvin and Marjorie Horwood, Sister; Christine (Jim) and
Roseann (Howard) and Shearn (Rick) Dalley who he loved as a daughter,
as well as many other relatives and friends.
Harvey is now reunited with his nephew Bobby Pelley, who
passed away in 2014. Both are now together again and free from pain
and cancer and are forever in our hearts until we meet
again.
