Harvey O. Griffith Jr.
Born: 11/24/1960; Re-born: 05/26/2025
Please join us for a Celebration of Harvey's life.
On Monday, May 26, 2025, our father, grandfather, brother, uncle, beloved husband and friend was called home to our heavenly Father. Harvey O. Griffith Jr. was a man who loved family beyond compare and believed in celebrating the joys of life and love everyday.
During the past 2 years, Harvey suffered a series of severe health issues. Starting with a stroke, he soon learned he also had: A-fib, COPD, Emphysema and Acute Heart Failure. His immune system became weakened to the point even a common cold would land him in the hospital and be life threatening.
In the last year, Harvey was hospitalized six times, finally succumbing to his illness and transitioning home on Memorial Day.
On December 20, 2024, Harvey lost hi job due to his frequent hospitalizations. Along with his job loss, it meant he also lost his health insurance and life insurance.
One week after loosing these necessary life sustaining benefits, Harvey was hospitalized. The resulting bill for that stay alone was over $55,000. In addition to this, his family now also faces the costs of his memorial.
Today, we are asking you to help us celebrate the life of Harvey and bring some relief to his family in these very stressful times.
A gift of $5, $10, $25 or any amount God puts on your heart will go a long way in helping celebrate the life of this extraordinary man, and help his family defray some of the expenses they are facing.
We also invite you to join us at Harvey's Celebration of Life
