Glenn Ray Harvey, age 72, of Santa Barbara, California, passed away on March 22, 2024 after a hard, long-fought battle against an infection.

Glenn was born on September 13, 1951 to Royal Harvey and Margaret Wood in Santa Monica, California. Glenn spent his childhood in Venice, California before moving to Malibu, California in 1976. In 1996, Glenn relocated his family to Santa Barbara, California where he lived until 2024.

Glenn’s successful professional life as a business entrepreneur and general contractor, eventually led him to build, own, and operate several businesses, including Glenn Harvey Construction, Co., Santa Monica Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., Malibu Refrigeration, Air Conditioning & Heat Inc., and the Lodge at Sandpoint, Inc.

Glenn had many hobbies, including construction projects, riding motorcycles, rebuilding cars, horseback riding, tennis, pickleball, boating, fishing, skiing, surfing, road trips, going to the beach, spending time with his dog Ranger, and entertaining his friends and family with festive gatherings.

Those closest to Glenn describe him as a larger-than-life man who fiercely loved his family. Glenn leaves behind the love of his life and long-time partner Leslie Wood, his son Michael Harvey, his two daughters Jacqueline and Amanda Harvey, and grandchildren Manuel and Sierra Harvey.

Glenn was predeceased by his grandmother Margaret Reinhart, his mother Margaret Wood, stepfather Charles King, and brother-in-law Dmitri Wood.
