David Harvey
September 20, 2023
David Alan Harvey passed away quietly on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 surrounded by members of his family. David was born in Springfield, MA to Bruce and Shirley (Knox) Harvey on April 19, 1956. He attended Minnechaug High School in Wilbraham, MA and graduated in 1974. He did a year of post-graduate work at Wilbraham and Monson Academy (Class of 1975) and received his B.A. from Fitchburg State College, graduating in 1981.
David married Lynn Lukas in Longmeadow, MA in 1993 and the couple lived in the Springfield area before moving to Hendersonville, NC. After the passing of his beloved wife, David moved to Jacksonville, FL to be near family. David was active in theatre and passionate about politics and current events. He had an oversize personality and in high school was voted “Class Individualist", a title that he lived up to for his entire life.
David was predeceased by his wife, Lynn Lukas and leaves a brother, Stephen Harvey and his wife Verne Shortell, and two sisters, Deborah Cook and her husband Eric, and Judy Harvey, as well as many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to one of the three charities that David supported:

In the short time I knew David, I enjoyed bantering with his large and unique personality. Whether poignant or outrageous, he was never shy about sharing an anecdote or opinion. He had a large heart for his family, his friends, and his beloved canine roommates. Rest in peace, David.
Condolences to David’s family. I’ve had such a great time being around David in my short 6 years at the beaches. His brand of humor is rare and it was easy to see he had a huge heart. He’ll be greatly missed
Dogman was an interesting and beloved character. He was always there with a helping hand and a thoughtful opinion on any topic. We always enjoyed the company of Dave and Lynn. He will be sorely missed.
Sincerely,
The Hegarty Family
Osterville MA
