Peter John Harvey

Peter John Harvey, 69, of Cypress, Texas passed away suddenly on January 6, 2022, from a heart attack. His loss was completely unexpected, and the family is shocked and deeply saddened. Peter was born on November 9, 1952, to Elsie and Sidney Harvey in Havant, England. Peter graduated from Warblington where he was the captain of the Rugby team. After he completed his schooling Peter went on to work in a fiberglass factory that built boats then moved on to assemble propellers for light aircraft. In December of 1983 Peter and his wife Linda, along with their 11-year-old daughter Samantha and 18-month-old son Christopher, immigrated to the United States where they settled in Houston, Texas. His first job in Texas was with Grizzly Bear Plumbing where he worked for several years before moving on to work at Brown & Root. He later moved on to work at Compaq (now HP) where he worked as a Maintenance Technician for many years and then continued working at Compaq on a contract basis with Big M Construction. Peter was a very hardworking man who was passionate about doing any job right. He was known for defending those he felt had been wronged, eager to aid those who needed help and was always going above and beyond for both family and friends. Even after being together 40 plus years, he and Linda were always working together on projects whether it was to improve their home or something for friends and family. One thing that will forever stay with his family is the love he had for his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was always picking on them, making them laugh and telling them he would give them a “Thick Ear!” Peter was preceded in death by his parents Elsie “Rita” and Sidney John Harvey, as well as his brother Richard Harvey. He is survived by his loving wife Linda, his siblings Terry, Susan, and Ann. He is also survived by his children Samantha and her husband Robert, Steven and his wife Cheryl, Christopher and his wife Mary, his 10 grandchildren Savonnah, Jessica, Rebecca, Courtney, Georgia, Skylar, Kaydince, Sydney, Zander, Rylee, and his 4 great grandchildren Clayton, Audrey, Priya, and Kai. Peter will also be missed by Jauger and Puppy, his beloved dogs, who were by his side day and night. No services are currently being held through Addison Funeral Home.
