Kevin Hardin 47, of Fredericksburg passed away on Monday June 8th 2015.
He leaves to grieve, his wife and soulmate Judy of 23 years, his mother Diane, several nieces, nephews, extended family members and many lifelong friends. Kevin grew up in Woodbridge, Va. and he and his wife moved to Fredericksburg in 1996.
He was an avid Washington Redskins fan who relentlessly cheered his team on even through the bad times. He had a talent for fixing anything that was broken and one of his friends once said, “Kevin can fix anything with just his little pocket knife.”
He loved nature and the outdoors especially fishing, NASCAR, working on cars and projects around the house, and he loved beautifying his new blue Ford pickup truck. Kevin was a strong, yet compassionate man with a gentle heart who was proud that he had overcome many struggles he faced in life on his own with God’s strength to carry him.
He was good natured believing firmly in just being himself, he was unpretentious, genuine in character and his devotion and loyalty to his wife and those he cared about endured. He was always willing to help his friends and always seemed to find the good in almost everyone. A viewing was held on Tuesday, June 16th at Mt. Castle Funeral Home in Woodbridge, followed by a graveside service and internment at Mt. Comfort Cemetery in Alexandria.
The sudden and tragic loss of Kevin has rendered deep sorrow in the hearts of those who knew and truly loved him. May our Heavenly Father bless and keep our beloved Kevin close to His side and may those grieving the loss of his precious life here on earth, find peace and comfort trusting in God’s promise that we will be reunited with him again one day.
• John 11:25-26
78 Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
