Byrd Lemuel Harderman Jr.'s Obituary
Byrd Lemuel Harderman Jr, 41 was unexpectedly called home to the Lord on Monday, December 6, 2021. Born on September 23, 1980 in Muskegon, Michigan. He is the son of the late Byrd Harderman and the late Frances (Barbara Taylor) Harderman. Byrd Jr. worked as the Customer and Cultural Specialist for My Auto Import Center for the past 17 years. Awaiting his arrival in heaven are his parents, grandparents Frankie (Lemuel) Taylor, aunts, uncles and friends. Here to cherish his memories are his only daughter, Jayla Richmond, his best friend and big sister, Rita (Darrell) Caviness, special sister Catrice (Mike) Flynn and his cat/dog Mufasa. Along with many cousins, nephews and friends, which include his dynamic team of co-workers at My Auto Import Center. To know Byrd was to LOVE him! When he walked into a room, he changed the energy! Byrd was always talking about Jesus! He said he didn't want anyone on his watch to go to Hell! He was a prayer warrior and a man of great faith! He had a unique way of looking at every situation and in the end, he would find positive words of encouragement. Byrd was full of wisdom but walked in total humility. His smile, charm and humor will be forever remembered and missed. A Celebration of a Life will be 12:00PM Tuesday, December 14th 2021, at The Lee Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 6291 Harvey Street, Norton Shores, Michigan 49444.
