"Harvey" Jack Hall
April 19, 1953 - June 6, 2020DERRELL "HARVEY"'S OBITUARY
Derrell Jack “Harvey” Hall was tragically taken on June 6, 2020. A fog
came over his family that day. A Texas boy from the start Harvey was
born in Bonham and raised hell in the streets of Farmers Branch. Harvey
started building clubhouses for his friends when they were just kids
which planted the seed for his lifelong career. Although he did many
jobs from working at Harley Davidson to oilfield work, construction was
always who he was.
When Harvey met his wife, Robbin, they started a family and decided
small town living was what they wanted, and they left the city. He was
always working long, hard hours to provide for his family. There are
many words to describe this man but Robbin says it best “he is the
strongest, smartest, bravest, baddest mf'er ever”. He was full of love,
kindness, laughter, lessons, and much more. He was the rock, support,
and hero of his family.
The first man his girls ever loved and to ever love them. Harvey taught
his girls what they wanted in a man, and has helped shaped his grandsons
into the men they’re becoming through his lessons and love.
Raising Stormie and Wendy was no easy task and at times they felt his
wrath but mostly they felt his pride- pride in them, pride in their
children, and pride in the men they chose to spend their lives with. He
would help anyone in need and he NEVER met a stranger. He could always
brighten the crowd with his smile, charm, and ability to tell a great
story. The world is a little dimmer now without this great man.
No one will be able to pick up the phone and ask “what do we need to
do?”. His talent to do ANYTHING is undeniable, he could do it all!
Robbin and his girls will tell you there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do.
Harvey would always provide for his girls, so when they wanted something
of course they had to write a proposal. This taught them to appreciate
what they were asking for and respect for the value of what it would
cost them.
Robbin was the love of his life, Stormie and Wendy were his pride and
joy, but his grandsons were his happiness (mostly because they are
boys). Harvey was comforted knowing his daughters have strong, loving,
hardworking husbands to love them and their children as much as he loved
them and their mother. Harvey will rest easy knowing his sons in law
will also take care of his Robbin.
Numbness and sadness do not come close to conveying how his family and
friends feel right now, but it’s the only words they’re able to find.
The sign off he always used with his family seems appropriate now... who
luvs ya baby!
To cherish his memories, he leaves behind his wife, Robbin; daughters,
Stormie Macy and Chris of Wills Point and Wendy Matheson and Matt of
Stillwater, OK; grandchildren, Justice Musselwhite, Lukas Matheson and
Dylan Matheson; along with many other loving relatives and friends.
Harvey is preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Debra Hall and
sister, Vivian Peacock. |
