Liam Hardy Berdanier

Liam Hardy Berdanier, a bright and cheerful light in the lives of all who knew him, left this world far too soon on January 25, 2026, at the tender age of 10. Born on March 21, 2015, in Harrisburg, Liam charmed everyone with his infectious spirit and enthusiasm for life.

Liam had a passion for adventure that manifested in his love for Disney, where he could always be found dreaming alongside his favorite characters. He adored Stitch from "Lilo and Stitch," and could often be seen wearing a smile that mirrored that of Mickey Mouse himself. The magical world of Disney was his playground, where his imagination soared, and his laughter filled the air.

A lover of all creatures great and small, Liam particularly cherished turtles. His collection of toy turtles reflected his joy for these gentle beings, and he would spend countless hours playing with them, weaving stories of their adventures on imaginary shores. He also found delight in the enchanting tale of “Moana.”

Liam was surrounded by a loving family who supported his whimsical dreams and adventures. He is deeply missed by his devoted parents, Reese and Heather Berdanier, who cherished every moment spent with their kind-hearted son. His siblings, Ariana and Cameron Berdanier, will forever hold on to the precious memories of their time together, from playful games to quiet moments of laughter. Liam’s loving grandmother, Dawn Barwell, along with his adoring grandparents, Kevin and Sherry Berdanier Sr., surround his memory with warmth and love.

While the heartache of his passing is profound, those who knew Liam will forever carry the sparkle of his spirit within them. His joy for life, love for Disney escapades, and fondness for turtles will live on through the cherished memories he created with his family. Liam's life, though short, was a rich tapestry of laughter, love, and joyful discovery, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

In remembrance, let us celebrate the light he brought into our lives and honor the laughter he freely shared, for Liam Hardy Berdanier will always be remembered as a beloved son, a cherished brother, and a brightest star shining in our hearts.
