TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF HOYT J. HARDEE OF LORIS AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Hoyt J. Hardee of Loris on December 2, 2013, at the venerable age of eighty-six; and
Whereas, born in Loris on October 17, 1927, Hoyt J. Hardee was a son of Thelton C. and Lezettie Cox Hardee. To his wife of sixty-five years, Martha Prince Hardee, and to his family, he was a loving husband, father, and "Papa"; and
Whereas, Mr. Hardee was a respected member of the Loris community for many years. He was a farmer, former owner of Hardee Manufacturing Co. Inc., and, most recently, an agent for HUD Southeast Insurance. A founder and former board member of HCSB, he also served as a member of the McLeod Loris SeaCoast Advisory Board and was former chairman of Loris Community Hospital District Board of Commissioners, former commissioner for the Soil and Water Conservation District, and former member of the Loris Lions Club; and
Whereas, as a man of faith, Hoyt J. Hardee worshipped at Loris First Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon, teacher, and member of various committees; and
Whereas, he enjoyed contributing in numerous ways to the betterment of his church and community, but this service-hearted man will be remembered most of all for his kindness, generosity, and compassion; and
Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Martha; daughters Janice Medlin (David) and Edwina Prevatte (Earle); grandchildren Evan Prevatte, Elaina Prevatte, Jennifer Iverson (Erick), and Sarah Chamberlain (Jason); great-grandchildren Noah and Leah Iverson and Jacob Chamberlain; and a host of other family members and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of Hoyt J. Hardee of Loris and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Martha Prince Hardee for the family.
