Brad Hardman Obituary

Brad Fielder Hardman
Brad Fielder Hardman of Kennesaw, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on March 31, 2022. Brad is survived by his mother, Jan Murphy Hardman, and his twin brother, Scott Thomas Hardman, and he was the son of the late, Dr. Thomas Fielder Hardman, all of Gainesville. He is also survived by several aunts, uncles and cousins. Brad was the grandson of Earnest Jerry Murphy, and his late wife, Ann Butler Murphy of North Augusta, SC. He was also the grandson of the late. Dr. Billy and Mrs. Estelle Hardman of Gainesville. Brad was born in Augusta, then at age eight moved with his family to Gainesville where he grew up on Lake Lanier and immersed himself in lake life. Brad attended the University of North Georgia and graduated with a BS degree in Political Science. While in college he enjoyed being a proud Sigma Chi brother. Brad was by nature a huge "people person" and everyone who knew him loved him. He never met a stranger and was always so careful to make whoever he encountered feel important. That gift allowed him to impact many lives and excel greatly in life. Along the way, he was blessed to play a part in the founding of his family's LED lighting company, with Jan and Scott. From there Brad went on to accomplish great heights in pharmaceutical sales, where he quickly moved from retail to clinical sales while amassing yearly awards for excellence, achieving top #1 status nationally in sales, and breaking company records. Brad's life was celebrated at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 6, in The Chapel at Free Chapel Church, 3001 McEver Road, Gainesville, Ga 30504. The family received friends after the service in the banquet hall at the chapel. The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made in Brad's honor to the FSHD Society, Dept. 960, P.O. Box 4160, Woburn, MA, 01888, or the Epilepsy Foundation of America, 3540 Crain Highway, Suite 675, Bowie, MD 20716.
