Dana Joel Hardin

Dana was just love, in its purest form. It was impossible to not smile in his presence. I rented office space from Kevin for 20 years, and had many visits from Dana over the years, but most especially when I had pretty girls working for me. The memory of him taking off down the hallway to look in my tiny office window is one I will never forget. He loved everyone of course, but especially the pretty girls! Kevin and Lisa, you will forever have my profound respect - you were a wonderful example for those of us with children with special needs to follow. Dana has his wings now, flying free without any pain or limits.

So very sorry but he's up with the angels I can't believe how much he looks like Howie especially the eyes time for you to have a rest now you did a great job with him you really were a hands on Dad

Dana was an amazing sole. Even on the days he wasn´t feeling well, he would still find a way to smile as well as make you smile. I will never forget the times I would visit Kevin, Lisa and Dana and he would want to sit close and tell his Dad he wanted to sit close to me and want to come home with me unless I brought Stephanie then I was quickly replaced - lol.

Dana had an infectious laugh, smile and soul and the world won´t be the same without him. I would be remiss if I didn´t mention the amazing parents Kevin, Lisa and Brianna that were such amazing parents and care givers for the days Dana was here with us.

We've had the pleasure of spending a week each summer as Dana's neighbor, and were greeted with a big smile and wave, each time we arrived, and a measure of concern each time we left. We're all a little better, having learned what's really important from Dana.

A beautiful person- Dana will be missed. His smile and gift of humor and love will be remembered!

We love you Dana!
