of Tonopah, AZ
July 27, 1961 - August 27, 2021
On Friday August 27, 2021, at age 60, Doyle Hardin went home to be with the Lord.
Doyle was born on July 27, 1961 in Marianna, AR. He was the fifth son of Fred and Viola Hardin. Doyle was raised in Marianna where he attended Lee Senior High School. He later moved to Arizona where he spent most of his adult life working and making memories.
Doyle loved all things cowboy; horses, bull riding, working cows, roping, two stepping and truly lived every day to its fullest. He was a kindhearted cowboy who was quick to help anyone. His daughter, Kacey, and grandson, Jaden, were his pride and joy.
Doyle was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Viola, as well as his brother, Lane Hardin.
Survived by daughter, Kacey Hardin Sopko, grandson, Jaden, and siblings, Margaret Kirk, Charles Hardin (Gladys), Thelma Reunard, Carolyn Slane, Mike Hardin (Sherry), Karen Hardin, David Hardin (Shelli), Tim Hardin (Rita), John Hardin (Deanna) & Rhonda Thornsberry (Mike). Along with a large group of other family and friends.
A Celebration of Life Service will be Tuesday, September 14, 2021, 2:00 p.m., at Bethel Assembly of God, 7311 W. Republican Road, Jacksonville, AR 72076. Visitation will be an hour prior to service time, beginning at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow the service at Arkansas Memorial Gardens in North Little Rock.
In following Doyle's caring spirit, we ask that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Cowboys for Kids, Inc. 47811 N 41st Ave Phoenix, AZ 85087.

A smile always comes to my face when I think of Doyle. Knowing him has been a pleasure since John and Deanna married. I feel I lost a brother and a friend at the same time. Prayers go up for his entire family and many friends.

Uncle Doyle you'll definitely be missed by so many but you will live on in our memories. Nights out at Uncle Scott's where the party didn't start until you showed up with music and nights out at the rodeo watching bull and bronc riding. Always remember you teaching me to ride a bull and getting me to actually do it. Wasn't good but gained some memories. Love ya Uncle Doyle and save a spot for me around the campfire and maybe a beer or two.

I’m still having a very hard time with the fact your really gone... I grew up with you, we grew up together... the memories we share of the good ole days will always be near to my heart! You were my FAVORITE Uncle that I thought the world of!!! In my eyes you were never wrong! I was always on your side, even if you might have been in the wrong I never questioned! Loyalty was everything back in those days... you, me and Unk Scott really kicked up the town of Marana! I had the two best Unks a girl could ask for!!! Give them hell up there cowboy! I know Unk Scott was waiting on you at those gates! Hell he was probably at that hospital with you to help you cross over! I will always love our memories, of a little girl that got to go with you on your dates to a teen that thought you hung the moon to an adult that respected you to the fullest! You will forever be missed Keep my seat reserved! I hope there’s a camper you can run to up there Incase Aunt Cathy is giving Unk hell!!! Oh I love those days!!!

To the friend I thought of as an annoying brother, thanks for all the laughter, for being a great listener and for just being an all around great character to know. Until we meet again watch over us. You were always larger than life and will be greatly missed.

We will forever miss Doyle’s physical presence. But his soul is with the Lord, and his spirit remains around all of us always. For us in particular, parts of Doyle live on in the arena he has helped Jimmy build over the last many months. Blessings on all of Doyle’s family members and friends.

I am so sorry to hear about Doyle. I met him in Jan. at a golf course in Phoenix and played with him and his friend Jimmy. Had so much fun with them. Talked about an interest in street rods we both shared. He made me laugh so many times.....made quite an impression on me.....so nice and fun. Was wishing we would meet up again to share laughs.....someday now in heaven...... Sincere sympathies to all of his family.
