Stephen Hardy Obituary

Stephen Carl Hardy 7/11/57 - 10/25/2015 MARVIN - Dr. Stephen Carl Hardy passed at his home Monday, October 26, 2015. Steve had been battling vascular problems over the last year. Steve is survived by his two sons Austin and Adam Hardy. He was predeacesed by his father Carl Hardy, Jr. and his mother Cora Hardy both of Petersburg, Virginia. Steve was born and raised in Petersburg, Virginia but lived in Charlotte for the past 30 years. Steve attended the University of Virginia for his undergraduate degree, The Medical College of Virginia for his Medical Degree in Neurology and continued to obtain his PhD in Psychology from UCLA. A dedicated doctor, Steve spent the last 30 years in general neurology and then took his passion for understanding sleep medicine to open his own sleep center called United Sleep Center where he helped 1000's of patients with the sleep issues. The last few years Steve counseled people suffering from addictions and depression and found that to be his most important calling. Steve was a loving father to his two sons, a true dog lover and avid golfer. Because of his love of medical research, his children have decided to donate his body to medical science which is fitting if you knew Steve. There will be a private service for Steve and his immediate family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Charlotte Humane Society.

I am in shock right now, as I just found out about this horrible news. I was a patient of Dr Hardy, but I only saw him once a year. When we met by chance, I felt like God had purposely placed us together at that very moment. He specialized in every issue I was dealing with! He was, and always will be, the very best doctor I've ever known. The thought of finding another doctor to replace him is laughable! It will likely take several different ones to know what he did. I will be among the many people who will miss him terribly. Sincere condolences to the family.

I was so shocked to learn of Steve's passing! We were next yard neighbors and friends from childhood through high school. Although we haven't seen each other in many years, I will miss him for ever.

My condolences to Steve's family and friends. I have not seen Steve since our time at R-MC. Even though Steve lived on the other side of the shrubs we were friends.

My sympathy to Steve's family and sons. I knew Steve when he was in medical school, and in the few conversations that we have had since, he spoke of Austin and Adam with the greatest love and pride. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Dr. Hardy's family and friends in their sorrow.Having worked with him in his earlier years I knew what a good person and dedicated Doctor he was.

To Steve's sons, Adam and Austin, I extend my sincere condolences. As your Dad's nearby neighbor in Longview I was very touched by his kind visit after my husband's sudden passing.

Your Dad had a very productive life in service helping his patients but I'm certain that his greatest pride was in watching you two grow up to be fine young men.
With sympathy for your loss,
