Harvey Paul Sims
July 2, 1923 - September 28, 2015
With heavy hearts, yet with the sure hope of glory, we announce the passing of Harvey Sims. Harvey was born in Youngstown, Alberta to Oliver and Beda Sims. He was raised in several Alberta districts, including Hemaruka, Ferintosh, New Norway, and Camrose. In 1961 he married Ruth Smith, and farmed near Joffre, and the couple was blessed with two children, Laurel and Duane. In 1984 they relocated to a quarter section near Mirror, where Harvey spent his final years, passing into the presence of Jesus peacefully in his sleep.
Faith was everything to Harvey Sims. He was a faithful church member, as well as elder and Sunday School teacher at various times in Nazarene, Free Methodist, and Alliance churches.
Harvey was predeceased by an infant brother, Dennis, in 1940, and in later years by his mother and father, his sister Audrey, and brother Allan.
Harvey’s beloved grandchildren included Evan and Laurel Mansell’s daughters Paige and Sarah Mansell, and Duane (and Sheila’s) children Kevin Sims (wife Janice and children Selah, Balian, and Kestrel), Hannah Sims, Joel Sims, Tiffany (Brent) Lever, Michael Sims, and Natalie Kelbaugh.
A Funeral Service for Harvey Sims will be held at Clive Baptist Church, Clive, Alberta on Friday, October 2nd at 11:30 a.m.. A lunch will follow, and an afternoon Interment will take place at Highland Park Cemetery.
The following is a note written by grand-daughter Paige Mansell:
“He taught me to ride, how to harness a horse, and how to work with what you have on hand. He always did everything he could for us grandchildren. He shared stories that would anchor us all to the rich history that our family has. He loved his family and he loved his Lord. Even though he grew up in the desperation of the 1930s and lived most of his adult life without half his fingers, he knew and declared that God is good. I cannot even fathom the hole that has just opened up in my life, but he left a legacy worth following. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Miss you Grandpa. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
