John Robert was born in Wake County, NC to the late Bob and Margaret Harward. He was a devoted husband and father and had an amazing talent for handcrafted custom woodworking. John Robert enjoyed growing vegetables in his garden, playing his guitar and writing songs. Each year he insisted that his brother, sisters, neices and nephews join him in his home every Christmas, where he loved playing music together with his family to celebrate the birth of Jesus. John Robert always made a point to ensure everyone was happy and laughing.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Carolyn Curry Harward; sons, Zachary Harward and John Harward and daughter, Brandy Harward; brother, Lacey Harward; sisters, Eva Williams, Betsy Beal and Amy Klehn.
