Our love and compassion go out to Hillary Relyea and her husband Ben Gerdts over the loss of their son Harvey earlier this month. He was just shy of 5 years old. Hillary sent me this news and some pictures this morning and asked if I would share with our Clary community.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved son, Harvey Jennison, who left us too soon on January 2nd. He brought boundless joy and laughter into our lives with his inquisitive nature, love of art and puzzles, and compassion for all. His smile, always accompanied by a twinkle in his eye, was a reflection of his vibrant, infectious happiness. He cherished his family and embraced his role as a big brother and oldest cousin. Though Harv’s time with us was too brief, the love and memories we shared will forever remain in our hearts.
Harvey is survived by his parents, Hillary and Ben; sister, Eleanor; grandparents, Steve and Adrienne Relyea, Walle Adams-Gerdts, and Doug Gerdts; aunts, Madeline Relyea, Allison (Jacob) Dumas, Madison (Danielle) Adams; and cousins Brooks Dumas, Jack Dumas, and Dreux Adams; and a loving extended family.
A memorial service for Harvey will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, January 11 at First Presbyterian Church Fort Worth.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating a puzzle to your local library or supporting the American Heart Association (www.heart.org).
