VISTOSO FUNERAL HOME
Harvey S. Durand was born on September 6, 1941 in Detroit, Michigan and passed away on January 27, 2021. He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Virginia (Ginny) Durand, his children Tammy Franklin (Paul), John Durand (Jennifer), Erik Durand (Jennifer) and his stepsons Craig Boelsen (Kris), Ross Boelsen (Deborah), and thirteen grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Stephen Durand (Susan), sisters Sally Durand, Susan Harries (Rick) and three nephews and a niece.
Harvey was preceded in death by his parents, Harvey Stowe Durand Jr. and Dorothy Vale Kissinger; stepfather, John Kissinger; and stepmother, Gratia Gibaut.
Harvey's family moved west from Detroit, MI and ran the Saguaro Lake Ranch, starting in 1948. It is still family owned and operated, for three generations. While living at the ranch, Harvey attended a one room school, across the road from the ranch, from first to eighth grade. He then went on to Mesa High School and the University of Arizona, in Tucson, graduating in 1963 with his Bachelor's Degree of Geology and achieved his Masters of Science in 1967.
Harvey had an interesting life growing up at the ranch, where he rode horses, climbed the Bulldog Cliffs with the Salt River running below and explored the Goldfield Mountains wilderness. His brother, Steve, and he would ride horses all the way to the Four Peaks Mountains, sleeping out under the stars. Later, they would take ranch guests on trail rides and hikes all over the area. Harvey, along with his mother playing the accordion, and Harvey playing the guitar and singing, would entertain their ranch guests around the fire for the steak cookouts on Saturday nights. The ranch also was a great getaway for famous guests like Mary Martin, Glen Campbell, Norman Rockwell, and Gaylord Perry, to name a few. The ranch was also recognized in the writings of Zane Grey. The ranch has been a set for Hollywood movies, commercials and other adventures. Along with all of the great times, he also worked hard on the ranch and mastered so many skills along the way. Harvey loved his life at his family ranch.
Harvey moved on from a career as a geologist into the retail business, working his way up the corporate ladder at major drug and food chains, relocating his family to cities all over the United States. He went on to be Vice President of Albertsons, Vice President of Vons, President of West Marine, then went on to open a chain of 50 gift shops in major hotels across the US for the Honolulu, HI based, Kalama Beach Corp. as Vice President and General Manager of the mainland operation.
After retiring from corporate life, Harvey and Ginny moved from Redondo Beach, CA to Lake Arrowhead, CA and opened The Tea & Coffee Exchange Stores in Lake Arrowhead, Manhattan Beach and Big Bear as a "fun retirement" business. While in Lake Arrowhead, Harvey belonged to the Morning Rotary Club, Lake Arrowhead Community Presbyterian Church, where he served as an Elder and on the Finance Committee, the UCSB Scholarship Committee of Lake Arrowhead, the Merchants Association, the L.A. Country Club and supported the Mountain Community Hospital Foundation.
In 2014, Harvey was diagnosed with stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Instead of believing the grim chance of survival, Harvey was able to go into remission for 4 1/2 years, thanks to a new drug that was given an early release date.
In 2017, they decided to sell their stores and moved to Tucson, AZ at Saddlebrooke, to enjoy their retirement. He enjoyed playing pickleball almost every day and golfed about three afternoons a week. Taking long vacations in their Airstream, they visited friends and family around the country and explored new places together.
In 2019, Harvey went out of remission, but would not give up. Searching out a trial to eradicate Mantle Cell Lymphoma, he was accepted into a program at the National Institute of Health and started treatment in January 2020. After monthly trips back to Bethesda, MD for treatment, he went into remission again in June of 2020.
He never complained, never gave up and kept his eye on paying it forward. When he found that his cancer was back at the beginning of December, he quickly volunteered for another trial. Though he tried, his body had to give in and he passed peacefully on January 27, 2021.
Harvey was a fun loving, good friend and neighbor to all those that knew him. He was always ready to help, if needed. A book could be written about all of his adventures throughout his life, from climbing mountains, to skiing, running marathons. He was game to try most anything. His dogs, Heidi and Hope, meant everything to him. His relationship with his brother, Steve, was really special to him. He loved talking with our kids about their business adventures and was so proud of them all. He was always there when they needed advice or just to listen. He loved seeing the grandkids and how well they were doing. He was a wonderful, loving husband that will live in Ginny's heart forever. He will be missed by all who knew him.
His service is pending, based on COVID restrictions.
