Brian Allen Hardin's Obituary
Brian was born March 20, 1988 and was granted his angel wings on Monday, October 21, 2019, as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Brian had a passion for racing and fixing up cars and trucks. This began at a very early age for him thanks to his Uncle Steven and his Surrogate Father, Clint. Just about every Sunday beginning about the age of two you would find Steven, Clint and Brian at the racetrack. Of course Brian couldn’t leave the house without having the identical Nike jumpsuit and Air Jordan’s that his daddy Clint was wearing because they had to match! This passion of racing and auto restoration continued for the next 29 years. He had multiple project vehicles and to be honest I think he enjoyed working on them more than he did driving them! Brian was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, laughter and most of all his kind and compassionate spirit. Brian was preceded in death by his two Uncles, Steven and Billy Hardin, his Aunt Lorrie Hardin as well as his baby that he and Shelby lost due to a miscarriage.
Those left behind to cherish his memory are: Daughter – Allie Rae Hardin, Forever Love – Shelby Smith, Mother – Tonya Hardin, Grandparents – Billy and Carolyn Hardin Surrogate Father – Clint Concord, Brother – James Nealy and wife Kassie, Sister – Heather Nealy, Niece – Kenzie Nealy, Nephew – Wesson Nealy Brian is also survived by countless extended family members and amazing friends who were touched by his unstoppable personality and were a huge part of his life.
In lieu of flowers our family would love for each of you to spend time with your children, take a road trip or walk on the beach with your loved ones and make a toast to enduring friendships lifelong and beyond.
