John Paul Hardy

March 27, 1940 -December 12, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of John Paul Hardy (known to many simply as “Pop”) on December 12, 2025, at the age of 85. John was born and raised in West Virginia and lived a life marked by compassion and strength, and deep devotion to his Lord and his family.

John was the proud father of three girls, Dawn, Terri, and Tracy, and a great grandson, JJ, who he had the privilege to raise as his own son. He had 7 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-great-grandchild.

John shared a loving bond with his 2 brothers and 1 sister. Jim, Dave, and Sue.

John was rarely sick a day in his life, and left us much too quickly after a tragically short battle with cancer.

He touched the lives of everyone who knew him, and his passing has left a void that can never be filled.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Heartland Hospice or Tunnels to Towers.

John Paul Hardy of Longs passed away on Friday, December 12, 2025.  Ocean View Funeral Home and Beach Crematory, North Strand Chapel, is assisting the Hardy Family.
