Cyle Hardman

Cyle Duncan Hardman, age 46 died suddenly on July 13th, 2013.?Cyle dealt with chronic health
problems throughout his life but he always carried them with a smile.
Cyle was born on December 23, 1966 in Logan, Utah to Joe and Oneda Hardman and due to
complications came into this world with a challenge ... Cyle was born completely blind. Cyle
grew up on the family dairy farm learning how to work and get around in the community. There
was a time when it would have been impossible to travel the streets of Mendon without seeing
Cyle and his "best friend" his Dad Joe. They went everywhere together! On the tractor, milking
cows, hauling hay, to the store to get a "sodie" ... all the while the two of them together, Cyle at
his Dad's elbow. Cyle wanted to be a part of everything and always wanted to "go, go, go". It
didn't really matter where, as long as he was going. When his Dad passed away, as hard as it
was, Cyle started a new life working toward independence. He moved to Roy and lived in a
group home so he could expand his opportunities and "keep going". He also began working and
took pride in the fact that he had a job. He enjoyed talking about his work and his
accomplishments but Cyle always dreamed of doing more. He really wanted to be a mechanic
and loved taking things apart!!!
Cyle will be remembered as a kind, gentle soul who loved and cared deeply for his family. He
always asked about everyone, how everyone was doing, he even asked about the dogs! He loved
animals, mechanics and tinkering like his Dad. He also loved music, especially Elvis and he had
an extensive collection of his records, tapes and CD's.
Cyle was a member of the LDS church, he also attended the Utah State School for the Deaf and
Blind where he learned to read Braille and navigate on his own.
Cyle is survived and deeply loved by his mother Oneda Hardman and brother Floyd both of
Mendon, brother John (Teresa) of Mendon, brother Curtis of Logan, sisters Natalie Lundahl,
(Mark) of Mendon, Mary Hammond of Twin Falls, Idaho and his twin sister Camille Saltern,
(Ron) of Mendon. Cyle was also loved and admired by his many nieces and nephews. He was
preceded in death by his father and "best friend" Joseph Henry Hardman.
Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 18th at the Mendon City Cemetery. Condolences and thoughts may be expressed to the family online at www.allenmortuaries.net .
