Canton [Ohio] Repository; 29 Jul 2009
Heaven
received a very special angel.... Harold (Jake) Eugene Hackathorn, age 87 born
in Bergholz, Ohio, December 24, 1921 to the late Charles and Molly (Mercer)
Hackathorn, passed away peacefully July 27, 2009 at his home in his favorite
chair, after a courageous and dignified battle with leukemia. He leaves behind
many precious memories that we will carry with us forever. Jake served our
country in the United States Navy receiving an honorable discharge. Jake lived
in Canton most of his life, retiring from Republic Steel in 1981 after 42 years
of service. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and loved to cook especially
stuffed peppers. We traveled together to many places when I was growing up. My
dad loved sports, baseball and football especially. My dad loved to talk and
tell stories from the good ole days, my dad traveled all over the US before
marrying my mom. I will remember my dad as a strong willed, self made man, that
always made me feel safe and secure. His rough exterior, sometimes harsh ways,
were nothing compared to his soft gentle side that could put a smile on my face
anything. My parents took care of numerous foster children throughout their
lives and were the most loving, generous, caring and hard working people that I
knew and our hearts will mourn their absence. I was blessed to be adopted,
loved and nurtured by these wonderful souls. Jake lost his beloved wife of 46
years, Mary (Marna) Hackathorn, April 9, 1997 and missed her terribly. Also preceded
in death by his brother, Chester and sister, Ruth.
Jake
will be greatly missed by his daughter, Audrey, who adored him with all her
heart and soul; son-in-law, Dave Burleson, who he resided with; grandchildren,
that he did so many wonderful things for and loved unconditionally, Timothy and
Andrea Beard; our beloved dogs, Marna Jean and Nakidah, all of Canton; brother,
Roy (Butch) Hackathorn of Carrollton; sisters, Jerry and Joann; and many
nieces, nephews and cousins; special family friend that dad called his other
daughter, and talked to every morning, Rhonda Zombeck. The family wishes to
thank, Andrea, Rhonda, Darlene, Dr. Drumm and all the wonderful people who
helped make my dad more comfortable. Special thanks to very special cousin, Clarence
Guest for all of the trips to the doctor and caring help and the VA, and Dr.
Rafiques office and Aultman Hospital.
Funeral
services will be conducted Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Reed Funeral Home Canton
Chapel. Interment will be in Sunset Hills Burial Park. Calling hours will be
