Jeffrey "Jeff" Dwayne Hargis

Jeffrey “Jeff” Dwayne Hargis of Science Hill, KY went to be with the Lord in the presence of his family on Sunday, July 5, 2015 at the age of 50. He was born in Mt. Sterling, KY, on November 20, 1964, son of Dallas Dwayne and Linda Craycraft Hargis of Science Hill, KY. He graduated from Pulaski County High School in 1982, but considered his high school home to be Eubank High School before consolidation. He attended Somerset Community College and Western Kentucky University. He was a farmer and the owner operator of JDH Trucking, Inc. He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Cynthia “Cindy” Hernandez Hargis; his son, Matthew Aaron ( Mindy) Hargis and grandson, Josiah, whom Papa Jeff called Joe of Science Hill, KY; one sister, Julie Back, and nephews, Kyle, Hayden, all of Somerset, KY and his furry companion “Lily”. He is also survived by his father and mother-in-law, Pete and Ophelia Hernandez of Danville, KY; his sister-in-law, Trish (Tony) Crawford of Burgin, KY; his brother-in-law, Steve (JennyRose) Hernandez of Lexington, KY; his nieces and nephew Trinity, Molli, Jesse and Olivia. He was a man with a passion for his family, farm, and business. He desired his farm to be beautiful and bear a good harvest. Nothing thrilled him more than a neatly manicured lawn. He had many loves. Sharing time and travel with his wife, big family get-togethers and cookouts, playing cards with family on a wintery night by their wood burning stove, savoring a good cup of his Baxter’s coffee and spending a Sunday afternoon watching a NASCAR race. His humorous storytelling made him a crowd favorite. Where there was laughter…there was Jeff. He was a member of and attended Science Hill United Methodist Church, as well as attending Saint Mildred’s Catholic Church in Somerset, KY. The Celebration of Jeff’s Life will be held Saturday, July 11, 2015 at the Science Hill United Methodist Church, 901 Stanford Street in Science Hill, KY. Visitation will be from noon to 3 PM with the memorial service to follow. The family requests that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to Hospice of Lake Cumberland. Morris & Hislope Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
