Andy "Brad" Hardy

Andy “Brad” Hardy, age 50, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, October 18, 2021. He was born in Nash County, NC on May 26, 1971.

A dedicated and diligent courier for UPS for over thirty years, Brad took his duty in delivering his customers their packages personally, always ensuring that every package was delivered safe and if necessary, out of the weather. Outside of work, he enjoyed bass fishing tournaments, taking his children fishing for catfish, and camping at the lake with his family. Brad was a caring individual, always with a positive attitude towards everything and everyone. A strong believer in his Christian faith, he instilled his faith in God in the lives of his family and of those around him. A loving and dedicated husband, father, son, brother, and dear friend to many, Brad will be forever missed, always loved, and never forgotten.

Brad is survived by his wife of 21 years, Shannon Hardy; his twins, Brett Hardy and Ava Hardy; his parents, Kent Hardy and Sue Hardy of Nashville; his brother, Scott Hardy of Rocky Mount; and many nieces and nephews.
