To this union, nine children were born: Margaret Brown, Clemonteen Homes, Viola Harden, Louise Harden, Lewis Harden, Leon Harden, Sr., James Harden and LaVern Poindexter, all of whom preceded Dan in death.
Dan met and married Mary Alice Harden and moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1964. To this union four children were born: Betty Jean Harden of Milwaukee, Charles D. Harden (Ruby Johnson Harden) of Milwaukee, Christine Harden of Milwaukee and Patrick R. Harden (Verlisa Bess) of Dallas, Texas.
He also leaves to cherish his memory his loving sister-in-law, Lillie Black of Milwaukee, grandchildren Ronald Williams and Christine Williams, and great-granddaughter Chistine Richardson. Also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends.
Dan worked in construction throughout his life and was employed by Highway Pavis and Hunzinger Construction.
Among the many things Dan enjoyed was sitting on the porch, watching Westerns and making his yearly trips back home to Eudora, Arkansas.
Dan will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
“Rest easy, old Man, and hug Mom for us.”
