Harvey Lovenburg

HARVEY D. LOVENBURG, 92 of Grant, former longtime Madrid resident, passed away May 26, 2020, at Perkins County Health Services in Grant.

Harvey was born June 29, 1927, at Madrid, Nebraska, to Ed and Isabelle (Kelso) Lovenburg. He attended school in Madrid.

Harvey is survived by his son, Don of Enders; daughter, Sharon Gartner of Chadron; special friend, Katy Miyamoto of Grant; six grandchildren; sixteen great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren.
