Obituary
Liam Michael Hardwicke
Portland, OR
On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, Liam passed away in his bed from SUDEP (Sudden unexpected death in Epilepsy). At the time of his passing, he was 16 years old.
Liam was born in Portland OR on Wednesday May 26, 2010, in the presence of his father, Christopher. He was the youngest of three siblings and the first-born son of Melissa and Christopher.
Liam was a very happy, active child, full of wonder and light. He loved animals and nature, always picking up interesting rocks and stopping to appreciate a beautiful sunset. As he got a little older, he became passionate about music and making videos, even recording some original songs.
Liam wanted to be a streamer, an MMA fighter, or a model, but more than anything he wanted to do something important. Something that made the world a better place. He often spoke of feeding the hungry and helping the homeless. He loved playing basketball with his friends, Kevin and Alonzo and hanging out with his girlfriend Nyemah. He also spent a lot of time with our pets, dogs, Kali and Emma and cats, Loki and Monty. He and Monty grew up together. Their bond was inseparable. He often referred to Monty as his “son.”
He was preceded in death by his father, Christopher Michael Hardwicke. He is survived by his mother, Melissa and his sisters Grace and Jayden. Along with Jayden’s parter Ave Olomua, Grandparents Dawna Dalton, Ann Hardwicke, Phil Hardwicke, Steve and Mike Rychetsky, and various aunts, uncles, and cousins.
