Kevin Harding Obituary
A native of Amelia, Kevin graduated as co-valedictorian from Amelia County High School in 1981 where he was very involved with Future Farmers of America and competed in many local and state FFA competitions. He then studied and graduated from Virginia Tech in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Economics. After a year of teaching math at ACHS, Kevin began his 32-year career in federal service with the United States Department of Agriculture - National Agricultural Statistics Service. Kevin was also very proud to help his brothers on their family farm, Hard Acres Farm, in Jetersville whenever possible. He loved to be outdoors, cheering on the Hokies, coaching and watching softball, traveling, and spending time with his family. Kevin will always be remembered for his shining charisma, compassionate kindness, unwavering positive outlook on life, and for the countless ways he touched so many people's lives.
Visitation will be held at Hope Chapel Church in Amelia on Friday, March 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 30 at 2 p.m. at the Amelia County High School Auditorium followed by a burial service at Salem United Methodist Cemetery.

Sweet Kevin. We didn't work together very long, but I will always remember you as the nicest person in the office. You welcomed me with open arms and I'll never forget that.
My condolences to the Harding family. You were so blessed to have Kevin, and I remember how much he loved his family. While we all cry today, I know his memory will bring you nothing but smiles and laughter in the future. Take care of each other.
