COATHAM, Harvey Charles

January 26, 1943 - April 27, 2019 It is with great sadness that the family of Harvey ‘Harv’ Charles Coatham announce his passing on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at the age of 76. Survived by his wife and love of his life, Burdell ‘Birdie’ of 52 years, daughters Charlene Clifton (Gerald) of Moses Lake, WA, Cheri Collopy (Ian) of Port Moody, BC and his precious grandchildren; Abigail and Avery Clifton, Bean and Everett Collopy, niece Wendy and cousins. Predeceased by his brother, Lawrence Coatham, Mother, Beatrice Elma Nurse and Father, Charles Boyes Coatham. Harvey belonged to ILWU Local 500 for 43 years, working as Longshoreman on the Vancouver waterfront and spent his last years at Neptune Terminals on the North Shore. He spent 50 years in North Vancouver, where he resided in Lynn Valley and Seymour Parkway, while raising his family. During his retirement years, he moved to Abbotsford with his wife. He was a kind loving soul whose passions were family, traveling, Beachwood Park and casinos where he was right at home with his long-time friends and family. Harvey loved great food and every meal he ate was his favourite. He lived life to the fullest and continued to define the odds no matter how complicated it was. So long Harv, you will be missed. A family gathering will be arranged at a later date. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary at:
