Harvey was born on September 8, 1964 in Amarillo, Texas to Clara S. and Harvey L. Ratliff, Jr. He lived in the Washington D.C. area for a short period of his childhood but spent most of his early life in Amarillo, graduating from Tascosa High School in 1982. After graduation, Harvey earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in both Finance and Management from West Texas State University. Harvey spent the majority of his life in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex as a successful real estate investor.

Harvey and Lacye married on June 11, 2005 and completed their family in 2015 when they were blessed with two children, Madison and Frankie.

Harvey was revered as a great outdoorsman by all who know him. His love of hunting and fishing started at an early age, and he enjoyed sharing it with anyone who would listen. Harvey also enjoyed traveling, it didn’t really matter the destination as much as the time spent together.

Harvey was a dedicated husband, a loving father and a committed son and brother. Family was the most important thing in his life. He considered himself to be “the funny guy” – always bringing a smile to everyone he was with. Harvey’s gentle spirit was a portrayal of his unconditional love – he had a good listening ear and although he was a man of few words, his wisdom shone through when he spoke. Harvey’s love for Christ was evident throughout his life in the loving kindness and compassion that he showed to all.

Harvey was preceded in death by his father, Harvey L. Ratliff, Jr.

Survivors: Harvey is survived by his loving wife, Lacye and two adoring children, Madison, 18 and Frankie, 16. He is also survived by his mother, Clara S. Ratliff; his brothers, Thomas, and his wife, Gleyna; Franklin, and his wife, Sunny; George, and his wife, Bess; his sister, Lillie and her husband, Jeff Farris; 12 nieces; ten nephews; five great-nieces and nephews.

See Condolences

Harvey was my landlord for the past 5 years. He was respectful, fair and would assist me promptly any time I needed a hand. He was well known around the complex and I've met others in my neighborhood that also rented from him. Everybody had nothing but nice things to say about him. This was a shock. Prayers and condolences to everyone dear to him and may he rest in peace.

We are heart-broken to hear about Harvey. Harvey was such a wonderful and kind person. I remember how much he helped me when I was in Amarillo during my first year and how much fun we had together going out on the weekends together. We hope you find the strength to keep going during this difficult time! With loving memories, Joachim and Hilde

Prayers and embraces from Beijing, China, Maria Min's whole family. It is shocking to hear this news and tears come to my eyes. We can only imagine how big the loss must be, and may God give you comfort and time and all the grace, warmth, love you need! Madi was very friendly to Maria when she was a new international student; and Madi's mother was very kind to me as mother who put her daughter in a foreign country for education. Thank you so much for the love, warmth and care you gave to others. A good friend of mine also lost her husband (47yrs-old, on 2-16) so ... God of Genesis, psalms, lamentations and the renewal is with you.

Lacye, Madison and Frankie I am so sorry for your loss. Did not see Harvey Locke often but he was a wonderful caring man.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers for the family. God bless each one of you.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Please know that there are many of us praying for your sweet family during this most difficult time. May the Lord wrap you in his arms & provide you with strength to get thru the days that lie ahead.

I have so many memories of Harvey growing up - he was a very dear friend of my brother Mike. So many memories and birthdays shared. I always looked up to him and did my best to involve myself in whatever he and Mike were doing (as all little sisters do). I remember patience, humor and unending kindness. My heart aches for his family and friends, and for a world that is darker without his kindness.

My confolences to the Ratliff family,Harvey was a kind man that will truly be missed.

Mit großer Betroffenheit haben wir vom frühen Tod von Harvey erfahren. Wir trauern mit seiner Familie. Wir erinnern uns gern an seine Besuche hier in München und konnten durch Erzählungen unserer Kinder und Enkelkinder immer wieder an seinem Leben teilhaben.

For my friend he will truly be missed by all he touched. To all the family he was a very special person and a truly unique soul. I pray for ya'll for strength and the insight to carry on. He was very private when it came to the things he held dear and his immediate family was most dear to him. His need to keep his time to the end private must have been difficult for him but he must have needed it to be that way. He will truly be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I always liked Harvey, and he was certainly kind to me. I am very sorry.

My heart is broken for your family. May the peace and comfort that the Lord provides surround you as you face this tremendous loss. ❤️

My heart is breaking for this precious family who lost their loved one MUCH too soon! Since I was made aware of this tragic news i have been praying for strength and healing and comfort and peace for this precious, grieving family who have lost this incredibly special and obviously very loved & highly esteemed man. So glad that, as believers in Jesus Christ, we do not sorrow as those who have no hope! Jesus is our hope & our peace and those who are in Christ, we WILL see again one day! But until then, we will hold this family close in our hugs, our thoughts and our prayers!
