Harvey Harold Roop, 74, of Critz passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at his home on August 14, 2023.

Harvey was born to Marshall Edwin and Hazel Gilley Roop on January 7, 1949. In addition to his parents, he is also preceded in death by his youngest brother, David Roop, and aunt, Annie Roop to whom he was her caregiver.

Harvey retired from Bassett Mirror Company after forty-nine years of service in 2015. His sole purpose to retire was to happily keep and spend time with his only grandson, Parker before starting school.

Surviving Harvey is his loving, dedicated wife of fifty-two years, Darlene Underwood Roop; his daughter, Andrea Amos, and husband Mike; his son, Adam Roop, and wife Alicia; and his grandson, Parker Roop; also grand pups Tucker, Nyla, and Goose.

Harvey was a humble, quiet man that adored and possessed a love for his family like no other. Harvey loved to pick/joke, family vacations, to garden, and cook, and got the most joy from seeing the people he loved sitting around his table to eat.
