Brendon Marke' Harden

Brendon “Bren” Marke’ Harden, or as his father called him Pop Pop, departed this life Sunday, September 1, 2019 at the age of 19. Brendon was born August 11, 2000 in Milford, Delaware.

Brendon was a 2018 graduate of Caeser Rodney High School.   He graduated a year early and often talked about joining the military. He worked for Chics in Harrington. 

He was a very smart, well-mannered child and was very curious.   He was fascinated with cars, motorcycles, almost any electronics and he loved to “fix-on” things even if they weren’t broke. He would put together things without even reading directions even as a young child. Bren was a good boy. He loved his siblings.  Although he was not the oldest he acted as though he was. Bren loved children and always spoke about being a father.   As a young boy he talked about how he was going to have a lot of children. Last year his wish came true. He became the father of a beautiful baby girl, Jae’Lani “Laah Laah.” She brought him so much joy. He loved his baby girl and she loved her daddy. He would take her everywhere with him. He was the best daddy and was always telling her he loved her. Bren loved to drive.  He would drive all night to get to North Carolina to see his mother, brother and grandparents. Bren and his father were best friends.  They were unseparatable, more like brothers.  I don’t care what they went through it never lasted long. They had to be with each other no matter what. They fixed and washed cars together, road bikes and four wheelers, and would joke and laugh all the time. It was rare that “Them Harden Boys” were not together.  They held each other down.  Brendon, his smile and laugh will be missed by everyone. 

Brendon was preceded in death by his grandfather, Gary Curry Sr. and Aunt’s Amber Frazier and Nakisha Watson.
