Gerald David Harvey III

Gerald David Harvey III, a beloved son, brother, and friend, peacefully passed away on January 12, 2024, at his residence in Belmont, NC. Born on June 10, 1992, in Mecklenburg County to his loving parents Jerry Harvey II and Tracy Johnson Harvey. Gerald's presence was a shining light in the lives of those around him.

Gerald's journey through life was marked by a deep appreciation for the simple joys it had to offer. He truly enjoyed his work and found fulfillment in the meaningful connections he formed along the way. Graduating from South Point High School in 2010, Gerald's education laid the foundation for a promising future.

Beyond his pursuit of knowledge, Gerald possessed a gentle soul and a creative spirit. He found solace and pleasure in being a homebody, cherishing moments spent within the comfort of his own abode. It was there that Gerald would often lose himself in the enchanting melodies he effortlessly coaxed from his cherished guitar. His skillful fingers danced across its strings, creating harmonies that resonated with the deepest emotions.

In addition to his musical talents, Gerald found delight in immersing himself in games and comics. He reveled in the fantastical worlds they presented, where characters came alive and stories unfolded with every turn of the page. Through these hobbies and interests, Gerald embraced his imagination with wide-eyed wonderment.

Gerald's departure leaves an indelible void within a circle of family and friends who adored him dearly. He is preceded in death by his beloved aunts Trixie Ross and Susan Jeffers, as well as uncle Brian Jeffers. Their memory will forever be intertwined with Gerald's legacy.

Though parted by sorrow, Gerald's surviving family stands united by their unwavering love and devotion to him. In addition to his parents, He leaves behind his maternal grandmother, Joan Webb; sister, Samantha Nicole Harvey; brothers from another mother, Derek Anthony Phillips and Donovan Hannah; aunts, Tamera and Terrell; uncle Dale; as well as cousins, Jayme Rhinehart and Connor Ross. Each of their lives was immeasurably enriched by Gerald's radiant presence.
