[DSM-Iowa] With A Heavy Heart

Thu Jun 18 01:48:43 UTC 2020

This is certainly sad news. I was shocked when I got the text from Mike Harvey last night. On behalf of the affiliate, I send condolences to the family. I will be posting this to the affiliate and the national leadership soon. Thanks all for the memories. I know we all have them. He was truly special in many ways, and he will be missed. From his work on the chapter board, to his appearance on stage at a national convention as part of the celebration of freedom, he has left a lasting legacy for all of us! I would love to be at the visitation tomorrow, but I’m unable to. I will be there in spirit.

In honor of Michael’s life and service to our great country, I share this quote by President Abraham Lincoln, “The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated [this ground], far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” Thank you for you service Mike. I celebrate your life with gratefulness, humility and will never for get you. Kimberley Barber

We have only known Mike for the past few years but he was certainly one of us and a friend. He will be missed by all of us.
