Johvoun D. Harvey, son of Crystal Harvey and John Johnson, was born on April 25, 1981 in Halifax County, North Carolina. On Sunday, January 3, 2010, our Heavenly Father called him home to rest. "Come ye, blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom prepared for you." We rejoice and thank God for the life he lived. Johvoun in his 28 years of life here with us, touched more lives than most people do in twice that time.

Johvoun graduated from Southeast Halifax High School in 1999. He continued his education at Elizabeth City State University, as well as, Roanoke-Chowan Community college.

Johvoun joined St. Paul Baptist Church at an early age and was baptized by Rev. Melvin Hodges. He served on the Junior Usher Board, and was a Youth Missionary.
He was preceded in death by his grandmothers: Minnie B. Baker, Carrie J. Fenner, Mary J. Boddie, and Francis Johnson.

There is a time to mourn and remember . . . certainly a void is left in the lives of his family and friends who accept God's Will as their own. He leaves to cherish his loving memories, his mother: Crystal Harvey of Decatur, GA; father: John Johnson of Sanford, NC; son: Travion Harvey; stepson: MyQuan Pittman and Tawanda Pittman (Lavette), all of the home; three sisters: Johnita Smith, Kadesha Debrow, and Sherel! Stevenson (Sylvester); three brothers: Trevor Harvey, Johnathan Johnson, and Jason Johnson; grandfather: William Fenner (Cynthia); aunts: Audrey Alston (Lonnie), Mario Spann (Isham), Diane Smith (Alexis), Linda Vinson (Andrew), Allean Silver (Johnny), and Vanessa Bullock; uncles: Rev. Victor Fenner (Linda), and Dennis Bullock; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends, especially the "Carriage House Boyz"

God Has Smiled On Me, He Has Set Me Tree"

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free; I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found sweet peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, HE SET ME FREE!
