Craig HARVEY Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Craig Harvey on October 23, 2024 at the age of 58 years.
Craig leaves behind his best friend and loving wife of 34 years Gerri, father Don Harvey (Isabel Caron), sister Jeanne Gilchrist, sister-in-law Terry Garrett, nieces Steph Green (husband Kyle and children Halle and Owen); Alysha Robb (husband Taylor and children Brody and Aria); nephews Drew Gilchrist (son Ares) and Dustin Garrett (wife Natalie and children Blake and Brooke). He was predeceased by his mother Phyllis Harvey (January of 2015), father-in-law Jim Cuming (November 1996) and mother-in-law Ruby Cuming (July 1991).
Craig was born in Rosetown and attended elementary school at Walter Aseltine and high school at Rosetown Composite. Even at a young age Craig was very scholastic and spent hours reading on any and every subject that came his way. After high school he attended Kelsey receiving a diploma in the Agricultural Machinery Technician Program. After working only a year as a Heavy Duty Mechanic in Humboldt, Craig’s love for farming brought him back home to take over the family farm. It was in 1986 that he began farming, the same year meeting his best friend and loving companion Gerri, whom he married on April 7, 1990. Together they would spend the next 30 years building their farm oasis, single handedly manicuring it to what you see today.
Farming full time, he also owned and operated Harvey Seed Cleaning and Harvey’s Computer Sales. Working on his computer was his happy place and nothing fulfilled Craig more than trying to crash a video game finding bugs, glitches and historical inaccuracies. This was exemplified by the pivotal work he did as a play tester for Battlefront.com, where he worked alongside his buddies from across the globe on over a dozen different computer war games.
Very active in his community Craig sat on numerous Boards, (Rosetown Curling Club, Ducks Unlimited, RM of St. Andrews) as well as participating and organizing many fundraisers, bringing Rake-Up to the community was one of the most notable. Craig’s love for baseball took him and Gerri to the US where they enjoyed watching games, travelling from city to city to see his beloved Blue Jays.
All who knew and loved him will remember his sharp wit, sarcastic humor, his unique individualism, his love for Gerri and love for life.
A Tribute to Craig will be held on Thursday, October 31, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at the Rosetown Civic Centre. Memorial donation in Craigs name can be directed to the SPCA, Box 37, Saskatoon, SK, S7K 3K1 or Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation, 100 Rayner Avenue, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 2P8. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Shanidar Funeral Services.
