Passed away in Ottawa, surrounded by family on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at the age of 64. Beloved husband of Nicole (neé Galipeau). Loving father of Sébastien (Emily) and Mireille (Rich). Cherished grandfather of Carolanne, Ève and Aiden. Brother of late Rhéa (Jean-Claude), Jackie (Marcel), Claudette (René), late Léo (Marie) and Claire (André). Predeceased by his parents Armand Harvey and Gilberte (neé Gervais). He will also be deeply missed by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and colleagues. Jean was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, a gentle soul whose actions spoke volumes of his kindness. His warmth and his smile will not be forgotten. He was a loyal employee with the Ottawa Catholic School Board of 32 and a half years.

I knew Jean while I was working at St. Luke Ottawa Catholic School from 2015-2018. He had his office in the school. He was a cool guy and always pleasant. My condolences to his family.
