Joshua Earl Hardy, 24, of Orange, Texas, passed away on November, 26, 2019.
A memorial service to honor Joshua’s life will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, November 29, 2019, at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange with Reverend Ed Rawls officiating.
Born in Port Arthur, Texas, on December 27, 1994, he was the son of Lamar Wells and Karen Silva. Joshua was a member of Silver Oaks Baptist Church. He liked to spend his spare time with friends mudding on his four wheeler and enjoying the outdoors. Joshua was always there to help anyone in need and bring a smile to your face. He was a doting husband and father who adored his family. His memory will live on through those who knew and loved him.
Joshua is survived by his parents, Lamar and Karen; his loving wife, Cheyenne Hardy; beautiful children, Raeleigh Hardy and Jaxton Hardy; and his siblings, Eric Runnels and Brian Runnels; along with numerous other family and friends.
Condolences

Karen and Lamar, My heart is very heavy as I am typing this. We raised our children together and I would never go back and change any of the times we were together. I know this has got to be the hardest time ever, but know Josh is not ever going to hurt again as he is with our King in heaven. I love you very very much! Love, Renea
