Nicholas Harden

On Wednesday, May 05, 2021, Nicholas Vance Harden, loving husband, father of three and grandfather of five, went to join our Heavenly Father.

Survivors include his loving wife of 33 years Carol Harden; son Jason Harden (Kiley) of Dublin; daughter Hannah Harden of Savannah; and son Wesley Harden of Canton.  Grandchildren Emma Powell, Madison Harden, Cason Harden, Paislee Harden and Madelyn Lamb. Survivors also include his brother Kirk Harden (Marqueta) and Tammy Ussery (Billy).  Mother-in-law Fusako Lamb of Dublin, Brother-in-law Charles Looney of Indiana. Sister-in-law Katherine Moore (DeWayne) of Macon, Ga and many Aunts, Uncles, Nephews, Nieces, and Cousins that he cherished.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his father-in-law Charles E Looney and stepfather-in-law, Richard Lamb.

Nick grew up in Macon and then later moved to Dublin on the family land but resided in Canton, Georgia in his latter years.  Nick was an easygoing soul who made friends everywhere he went.  Nick was an avid reader and bonded with his daughter, Hannah, over The Hunger Games book series.  Nick was proud that his son Wesley was following in his aviation footsteps in Savannah.  He was honored that his oldest son Jason and family resides on the family land in Dublin, Georgia. One of his favorite dishes was the sausage bread that Jason prepared for him. He was a collector of sorts such and enjoyed hunting for unusual bottle openers and arrow heads. Nick would spend many weekends grilling on his Green Egg. His greatest enjoyment in life was spending quality time with the grandchildren.

Nick was a talented craftsmen and re-upholstered furniture for many of the residence in the Dublin community.   One of his proudest achievements was working in the Fabric Trim Shop for the C130 Hercules at Lockheed Martin Corporation.
