Harvey Joe Sanner was born on March 31, 1943 to Joe Roscoe and Gladys Mae Chandler Sanner of Des Arc.  He was raised on a farm just east of Des Arc.  Later in life, Harvey married and raised his own family there in the Sand Hill community.

He was first a husband, father, son, brother and friend to most everyone that ever knew him.  Then, a farmer, avid sportsman, and nature enthusiast which would lead to his interest in tree grafting and training Labrador retrievers.  He enjoyed watching his family grow as he reminded them constantly how fortunate they were to be raised in the country and that we are living in the greatest country on earth.  Harv always looked for the good in any situation and in all people too.

For some reason he wasn't known as dad but as Harvey Joe or Harv.  This was definitely not from lack of respect but just as it was.  He enjoyed his life to the fullest and he was intrigued by many things and experiences, just as most all younger men.

He was preceded in death by both his parents and one younger brother, Buddy Otis Sanner.

Harvey is survived by his wife, Marilyn Burnett of Des Arc, both his sons Kelly Sanner of Des Arc and Matt Sanner of Searcy, two step sons Rodney Burnett (Sondra) of Cabot and Gary Burnett, two brothers Jim Sanner and Steve Sanner of Des Arc.  Also, behind he leaves five grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and five step grandchildren.
