January 8, 2004 - January 3, 2017

Mahlon Paul Hardt, 12, of Nederland, died Tuesday, January 3, 2017, at Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston after a long battle to defeat acute myeloid leukemia. He was born on January 8, 2004, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Alaina Denise Hardt. His mother passed away June 26, 2015. Mahlon has now been reunited with her in heaven.
Mahlon loved God and was a member of the Episcopal Church. He was a Boy Scout with Troop 75 of Port Arthur. He attended Central Middle School of Nederland and loved the Nederland Bulldogs. Mahlon was also a huge Lamar University Men’s Basketball fan. He was a member of Hunt with Heart and recently enjoyed hunting with his cardiology team at Beaver Creek Ranch, where he shot his first ram. Mahlon loved gaming and was a master Lego creator. His dream was to be a Marine Biologist and a YouTube sensation as a gaming demonstrator. Mahlon was learning how to play the saxophone and was interested in guitar too. He longed to play soccer someday like his Uncle Todd and Uncle Miles. If he could have gotten his “Make A Wish”, he wanted to go to London to the set of Dr. Who, see the real Platform 9 ¾, see Big Ben and meet the Queen. He was an expert on Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Minecraft, and Call of Duty. Mahlon was a smart and witty little guy whose smile could light up a room. He will be missed by everyone that knew him.
