Paul Allan Harvey

Paul was a graduate of LaMoille High School in 1986, graduated from IVCC, and Sangamon State University where he received a degree in juvenile criminal justice.

After graduation, Paul was employed at the Covenant Children’s Home in Princeton where he worked as a youth counselor. Later, he worked at the Ottawa Correctional Facilities, drove for Roehl Trucking, worked at Mid American Growers in Granville Illinois, and served as a guard at a prison in Beeville, Texas.

Paul was a great lover of the outdoors, (the Carver pond was one of his favorite solaces). He loved to read and made many creative, beautiful, and functional wood projects.

He had a sympathetic and compassionate heart for those who needed a little extra help and would give of himself despite his own meager resources. He also loved God and family, and they loved him as well - so much.

Paul was preceded in death by his very loving maternal and paternal grandparents. They have now welcomed him into heaven.
