Jonathan Havard Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Moments Funeral Home - Lucedale on Feb. 28, 2025.
Jonathan Dwight Havard, age 50, passed away February 18, 2025.
His death serves as a reminder of the complexity of human nature-how our circumstances and choices shape us, and the fragile balance between the past and the potential for growth. A person's choices leave a profound impact on those closest to them. A legacy is not defined solely by its darkest moments, but also by the relationships, love, and fleeting moments of light in between. While his legacy will always carry the weight of the mistakes he made, it's crucial to remember that he was more than the darkest chapters in his life. He was a son, a brother, and a father who leaves behind a family forever altered.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Leon Tanner and Betty Jane Tanner; paternal grandparents, Maurice Havard and Nell Ree Cochran Havard.
Those left to cherish his memory include his parents, Debra Havard, and Earl Havard; daughter, Alyssa (Alford) Bradley; sons, Joshua (Ana) Havard, Camren (Shelby) Havard and Hunter (Jaci) Havard; grandchildren, Korie Bradley, Jaidence Bradley, Kassidy Bradley, Jaivyn Bradley, and Drestin Havard; brother, Timothy Adam; four nieces, three nephews, other relatives and friends.
The Visitation will be Saturday, March 1, 2025 from 11:00 AM until 12:00 PM at Moments Funeral Home. The Funeral Service will begin at 12:00 PM in the funeral home chapel with Bro. Jeff Bass officiating. Burial will follow in Corinth Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery. Pallbearers include Joshua Havard, Camren Havard, Hunter Havard, Matt Reeves, Anthony Tanner, and Andy Temple. Honorary Pallbearer will include Sam Temple.
Moments Funeral Home, locally owned and operated, is honored to be in charge of arrangements.
