George Willard Hardy, Jr.

George Willard Hardy was born on July 19, 1964, and passed on March 20, 2026, at the age of 61. 

He was born in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, to his mother, Ann Morris, and his father, George Hardy. He had a brother, Tracy Hardy, and a sister, Stephanie Hardy. He was a father to two daughters and a son, Jessica Hardy, Madison Hardy, and Christopher Hardy. He was a grandfather to two granddaughters, Piper Wilson and Prayla Colwell. George was loved by many of his family and friends. George was a truck driver for 40 years and did masonry for a few years as well. He knew how to make others laugh, no matter the circumstances. 

One of his strongest traits is that he was a hard worker and had a giving heart. He would always help others in need. We will forever be remembered and in our hearts. He always said, “Just have faith,” and “don’t worry about me.” George was an organ donor; he saved a life with the gift of his liver.
