Charlie was born December 6, 1931 to the late Emmett Harvey and Eulisha Jones Harvey in Schley County, Georgia.  He passed on Friday, February 4, 2022
 
Charlie acquired his education in the public school system of Schley County.

In addition, Charlie loved to have bible study at all times and when you called or visited with him, he would always give you a few scriptures. He loved listening to his gospel quartets sing. Charlie was also a self-employed Carpenter who learned solely from experience, so much so that he planned and built his own two story home and other members of the church and friends joined to help him.  Charlie loved to sing and play guitar and was in several quartets that performed all of Georgia and adjoining states.  He trained his sons how to play guitar and help start the family singing group The Harvey Singers.
 
Charlie acquired his education in the public school system of Schley County until around eighth grade when he quit in order to work full-time to help support his family.  
 
Charlie worked for Sumter County Schools for over 30 years and Davis Casket Company for various years and The Basket Factory in Americus as well as various other jobs.  
 
He was united in holy matrimony to Christine Greene on November 1, 1953, and to this union, seven children were reared. 
 
He was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Christine Greene Harvey; two children, Wayne Harvey and Carol Wright; eight siblings, Lorene “Rene” Harvey, Julia Harvey, Christine Harvey Sales, Nettie Mae Harvey, Henry Lee Harvey, Ella “Ziella” Harvey Huff, Jennie Harvey Terry, and Emmitt “Mitchell” Harvey Jr.; seven brothers-in-law, Homer Floyd, Caleb Greene, Jessie James Jones, Sr., Alvin Greene, John Henry Greene, Walter Huff, Charlie Terry Sr.; two sisters-in-law Barbara Hunt and Clariece Williams Harvey.
