Jay Hardman
Jay Hardman, 87, passed away Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018, in his sleep after a struggle with a long illness.
A gathering to celebrate Jay’s life will be Thursday, Aug. 30, at 2 p.m. at the Dupuyer Community Hall.
Jay was born on March 20, 1931 in Myton, Utah. He was a kind and caring man who was always quick to smile and unafraid of hard work. He had many jobs in his youth and settled with wife, Frances, on Birch Creek. They ranched independently, and helped Frances’ family ranch too.
Jay loved his family, friends, dogs, livestock and playing music. There was not a day that Jay did not visit friends and family either at coffee or on the phone. When times were hard, Jay was a rock for those around him, encouraging them to be their best selves.
Survivors include his wife of 57 years, Frances Hardman; brothers, Ned, Fred, Alton and Raymond; sisters, Nora, Nola and Eva; and numerous family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Hy and Bessie Hardman; brothers, Ray, Lester, Cecil, Royal and Melvin.
