Harvey Eugene Heneveld, beloved child of God and faithful servant, entered the presence of Jesus on May 18, 2026.
Harvey grew up in Graafschap and graduated from Zeeland High School and Hope College. Upon graduation from Western Theological Seminary, he was ordained as a minister in the Reformed Church in America. He served the Mason County Reformed Church in Scottville, MI, and then planted a church in Canton, MI. After 19 years there, he pastored Olivet Reformed Church in Grandville. In retirement, he served as the visitation pastor for Fair Haven Church in Hudsonville.
Harvey was the beloved and faithful husband of Elaine and father and grandfather of David and Jodi Heneveld (Leah Heneveld, Seth and Hannah Heneveld, and Micah Heneveld), Rebecca Heneveld (Abigail Heneveld, and Grace Heneveld), Elisabeth and Jeffrey Straley (Lauren and Tanner Griffin, Julia and Seth Laughlin, Sophia Straley, and Claire Straley), his siblings Joan Heneveld, Gary and Janet Heneveld, and James and Sharon Heneveld, his brothers-in-law Victor and Nancy Folkert, and Calvin and Eva Folkert.
Harvey was a fervent prayer warrior for many people. His entire life focus was proclaiming Christ and living fully for Him. His engaging spirit drew people to his side. Now he is fully healed and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord. “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
Visitation will be 9:30-10:45 am Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Fair Haven Church, 2900 Baldwin, Hudsonville, MI. The memorial service to honor the life of Harvey will follow at 11 am. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to Words of Hope.
