Dana's obituary

We deeply mourn the loss of Mr. Dana "Crazy Legs" Hartford, Born on December 3, 1963, Dana's life was a brilliantly lived journey until his departure from our world on December 13, 2025. Dana was a beacon of unwavering strength and kindness. His personality was loud and strong-willed, yet he was also incredibly caring. This unique blend of robust energy that made him a remarkable individual, someone who managed to touch lives wherever he went.

One of Dana's most impactful life lessons, which he heartily bestowed on those he encountered, was the significance of being a hard worker. A seasoned hand at automobile mechanics, he taught many the intricate art of fixing cars. His dedication was not just limited to imparting his skills; it was also reflective in his long-standing service at Ski Bradford, where he worked for many years.

However, the crowning glory of his existence was not steeped in his work or his skills. It was his role as a father and a papa that truly defined him. His surviving daughter beloved , Francesca Hartford; her children Maxx and Maya, and his treasured son, Timothy Goss who learned how to be strong willed like him. Leaving his ex and mother of this children, Anita McCoy. And his brother Richard Poissant, and family. His adorned niece Deanna Nordle.
Though Dana leaves a void in our hearts, his spirit and teachings live on within us.
In lieu of flowers, we are raising funds to cover the funeral expenses. Donations can be made at https://everloved.com/life-of…. We hope to give Dana the farewell he truly deserves, a celebration that mirrors his vibrant life and indomitable spirit.

Rest in peace, Dana. Your crazy legs may have danced their last, but your legacy pirouettes in our hearts forever.
