Our beloved father, Harley Allen Cargill, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2026, surrounded by his children.
Harley was a proud U.S. Army veteran who carried his sense of duty and commitment throughout his life. He dedicated more than 20 years of service to Amway Corporation, where his strong work ethic and integrity were evident to all who knew him.
Above all, Harley was a devoted husband and father, and a cherished brother, papa, uncle and friend. He loved the outdoors and found great joy in fishing and hunting. In later years, he became a gifted storyteller, sharing memories and lessons that will live on in the hearts of his family. His love for his family was unwavering, and he took immense pride in each of them.
Harley is survived by: his three children, Sarah (Geoff) Schultz, Thomas (Jayme) Cargill and Craig (Melissa) Cargill.
