Obituary: Shannon Dale Hardin, 49, Cox’s Creek
Shannon Dale Hardin, 49, of Cox’s Creek, died Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023, at the home of his mother. He was born April 27, 1974, in Shelby County to Prentice and Emma Jean Baker Hardin. He was a former employee of General Electric. He loved farming and International tractors.
He spent his days, but mostly nights, taking care of his parents, the home place and his beloved truck and tractors. Though he held no academic degrees, his engineering skills amazed his family and friends.
He lived by the lyrics of Elvis Presley’s song “I Did It My Way,” and identified with Johnny Cash wearing black most of his adult life, to stand as a reminder of those who are still out in the darkness and do not know Christ as their Lord and Savior.
He was preceded in death by his father Prentice Hardin.
He is survived by his mother, Emma Jean Hardin of Bardstown; one brother, Brian Scott (Marlene) Hardin of Bardstown; and special friends Jimmy and Karen Burba of Cox’s Creek.

Visitation is 4-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023, and after 9 a.m. Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, at the Bloomfield Church of God.
