Darnell Hardeman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 6, 2016.

Darnell Eugene Hardeman was born to Rudy and Carol (Goins) Hardeman on May 25, 1978. His father Rudy Hardeman preceded him in death.

Darnell attended Hyde Park Academy in Chicago, Illinois and after graduating from High School in 1996 he attended Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois and then attended Robert Morris College in Chicago, Illinois where he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Health Care Administration. He also Received his Sterile Processing Certification in 2016.

Darnell loved listening to his music, playing basketball and other sports, and he truly loved spending time with his family. His passion was teaching and playing with his younger cousins who were more like his children, and he got delight out of high fiving them when he asked a question and they gave him a right answer. Darnell loved having them jump up to try and high five him as he stood tall, making them have to stretch a bit to reach his hand. It was his way of giving them a thumbs up and letting them know they did well. This brought a delightful smile to them and him.

Darnel's most treasured pleasure was helping his students at "Wendell Green Elementary School where he worked through the Boys and Girls Club of America in Chicago, Illinois. He was truly dedicated in spirit and soul, mentoring them on his own time and showing love to them by spending time with them even afterschool; playing basketball, football and attending after school sports programs to show his love and support for them.

Darnell received Jesus as his LORD and Savior at a young age and was Baptized at Avalon Park Church in Chicago, Illinois.

On June 4, 2016 Darnell was ushered into the Kingdom of GOD by the Heavenly Father's Holy Angels. He was joyfully received by the Heavenly Father and into the bosom of GOD's dear Son. The Heavenly host rejoiced as the Father and Son of GOD declared "Welcome home my beloved Son."

Darnell is survived by his loving Mother Carol A. Hardeman-Miller and Step-Father Daryl Miller, his Grandmother Annie L.Goins; Aunts Varnetta Thomas (Joe); Elander Goins; Uncles: Wayne E. Goins (Debra); Bernard M. Goins; Garrett Goins; Tremell Goins (Miareyta); Fabian Goins (Laverne); Reginald Goins (Angela) William Hardeman, and a host of loving cousins, other relatives and friends.

Sleep on now Darnell and take your rest
We love you so much...
But GOD loves you Best.

As a parent of one of his students, Ava, I would love to extend my deepest condolences to the family. He was such a kind, sweet soul and his LOVED all of the kids at Green. My daughter said sooooo many kids were hurt at the news. He seemed like he dedicated his life to those kids: teaching them how to read, showering them with birthday presents, afterschool snacks, etc. He will truly be missed!
I have to work, but i wish i could attend he funeral this Saturday, but again my deepest sympathies to all of his family and friends.

Darnell, its not surprising the impact you've left on your family and friends. I will never forget the things that connected us as family and as cousins, from us being only children, to us liking the same music, to us sharing funny moments together. I am sorry you were taken from us so soon; I will always struggle with us not having more time together. I tell myself you are in a peaceful place. I will hold dear the many memories of us to relive and enjoy. I love you and I'll see you in Heaven.

REST IN HIS LOVE NOW, MY FRIEND;
UNTIL YOU & I ARE REUNITED AGAIN!

Darnell and I went to elementary school together, and I have not seen him since we were in high school, however he still had an impact on my life from my childhood years. Although our only communication in our adult years has been through social media, it saddens me that the young man I knew to be smart, kind, and funny has been taken away so soon. I pray for his family, and everyone who was blessed with his presence find the peace they need to endure this difficult time.
