The life of James “Hugh” Foard, 62, of Harmony, was marked by dedication and love, inspiring those around him until his passing on November 3, 2024. Hugh was born on April 5, 1962, to the late James Foard Sr. and Sally Foard (Dillard). He was preceded in death by Becky Foard.

Hugh is survived by his sisters, Linda Crider, and husband Steve (Matt, David), Barbara Haith Cox and husband Randy (Ethan, Erin), and Jeanine Deal and husband Mike (Mike Jr., Adam and Albert).

To many, he was known for his incredible work ethic and the pride he took in his profession as an upholsterer for over 30 years, but the people closest to his heart were his four children, Jonathan Nance and wife Tabitha of Harmony, Craig Nance of Troutman, Angel Campbell of Harmony, and Joshua Campbell of Harmony. His grandchildren, who lit up his life, were Lexi, Shiler, Noah, Nicholas, Lily, Chase, and Weston.
