Harvey Hiebel

Harvey Michael Hiebel, 91, of Rochester, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025. Harvey will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and a friend to all.

Harvey was born on July 27, 1934, to John and Mildred Hiebel, in Mazeppa, Minnesota, and attended high school in Zumbrota. After graduating, he served in the US Army, then started a career at the Mayo Clinic, where he worked as an x-ray technologist for 39 years before retiring.

In his personal life, Harvey found joy in extensive travels in their motorhomes, exploring much of the US and Canada. He also enjoyed fishing, socializing with friends, and spending time with his family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 69 years, Shirley Hiebel, his children Michael, Patrick (Amy), and Timothy, and grandchildren, Garrett, Sophia, and Kennedy. He also leaves behind a niece and nephew, Paula Wagner and Laris Conat, and special friends, Theresa and Roger Kingley, and Laurel and Tim Schacht.

A celebration of his life will be held at Saint Pius X (1315 12th Ave NW, Rochester, MN 55901) on Tuesday, September 23th, at 11 AM, with viewing an hour before, and reception to follow. Burial will be at the St. Paul Cemetery in Zumbrota, MN.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to Saint Pius X.

Harvey was a quiet but powerful force of goodness. His legacy lives on in the hearts of all who had the privilege to know and love him. A special thank you to the staff of Samaritan Bethany, and Mayo Hospice.
