Obituary
Harvey DeAndre McDaniel II was born in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 9, 1985 to the late Harvey D. McDaniel and Cynthia Turner. He departed this life on November 17, 2022. Harvey was a life time resident of Las Vegas, who attended Las Vegas High School. Harvey had the talent of being good with his hands and he had an eye for detail. He was an experienced laborer and worked in the construction industry for Resilient Home Services with his brother-in-law.
Lil' Harvey, as he was affectionately known, had an easy smile and a kind heart. He was very protective of his Mom, sisters, and children and truly never wanted to see any of them cry. Lil Harvey was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and absolutely, positively refused to eat anything unless he had a bottle of Heinz ketchup to pour all over it, whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Harvey loved his family hard and would often reminisce about the past.
He regularly spoke about how he wished that the family would reconnect. We are here, Lil Harvey.
He is preceded in death by his Grandparents, Lounell & LeAndrew McDaniel, Sandy Booker Jr., Don L. West and William & Beverly Gholston and his father Harvey D. McDaniel. He is survived by: his lifelong Partner Sheena Turner, his mother and Step-father Cynthia & Larry Turner, siblings; Almitra McDaniel-Quintero Jorge), Ashley Hardin, Dominique Herrera (Juana), DeAndre McDaniel, Jason McDaniel, his two daughters; Ajuhnae Jackson & Jordyn McDaniel, his three sons; Harvey DeAndre III, Jahleel DeAndre and Daniel DeAndre McDaniel, his step-son Isiah Ross Jr., and his Step-siblings; Cherelle Turner, NiKisha LeBlanc, Larry and Isaiah Myles. He is also survived by numerous Aunts, Uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends
