Harvey “Big T” Turner was born on August 15th, 1942 to John and Virginia (Horsley) Turner at home in Ames, OK. He left his earthly life on February 2nd, 2018. Harve lived in and around Ames and Drummond, graduating Drummond High School with the Class of 1960. He worked for his father on a custom harvest crew. He later started his own businesses, Big T Trucking and Harve’s Dozer Service. He worked in the oilfield and pipeline running heavy equipment. He was especially known for his skills with a dozer.
He taught his daughters to ride mini bikes and motorcycles at a young age, and always told them there isn’t a job that you can’t do as well or better than any man. Of course that was as he showed us how to drive a tractor so he wouldn’t have to do the mowing anymore.
He liked a good joke but loved a bad one. He was a smooth 2 step partner and loved having fun with his friends and family. He was the leader of the Crown Royal Gang. He was a wizard at Sudoku. He will be missed by many.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Virginia Turner and his sister Lana Seibert.
He leaves behind 2 daughters, Toni (John) Mackey and Paula (Paul) Martin, 3 grandsons, Larry Becker (Rachel Wesely), Landon (Brooke) Martin and Logan Mackey, 5 granddaughters, Taylor Gordon (Chris Rooney), Katie Martin (Tyler Hayslett), Caylee Mackey, Brianna Mackey, and Johnny Mackey, 5 great-grandchildren, McKinley, Sawyer, Laylah, Kason, and Baby Rooney on the way, 2 nephews, Shane Seibert and Jim (Sheryl) Seibert and 1 niece Pam (Mike) Kvasnicka, and his brother-in-law Bob Seibert; as well as many other family and friends.
Memorials in Harve’s name may be made to Hospice Circle of Love with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
