Dr. Mitchell Dale Hardison died suddenly Thursday, September 10, 2015. Born on November 12, 1952 in Clinton, NC, Mitch was raised in Grifton and Wilmington, NC, the son of the late Joseph Malcolm Hardison and Ruby Knowles Hardison.

Mitch attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on a John Motley Morehead Scholarship. After graduation in 1975, Mitch attended Medical School at UNC-CH where he distinguished himself as a Board of Governors Scholar and as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society.

After an internship and residency at NC Memorial Hospital, Mitch went to work as a Research Assistant in the Brown University School of Medicine in Providence, Rhode Island. It was there that he met the love of his life, Marianne Elizabeth Bibby, to whom he was married for 35 years.

Mitch was in private practice in Wilson, NC from 1983-1989 at the Brentwood Clinic. Wilson was home for Mitch and Marianne when their children Anna Mack, and Joseph were born. In Wilson they made many friends who continued to drive the sixty miles to be seen by Dr. Hardison.

In 1989, Mitch moved to Raleigh where he was a member of Boylan Internal Medicine. He continued to build his practice there with hundreds of devoted patients.

Mitch made one last move in 2007 to a private practice with MDVIP. Five hundred patients immediately signed up to follow their favorite doctor.

Mitch was the last of a dying breed-the kind of doctor who still carried a black bag, and used it; who spent time with every patient as if they were the only patient of the day; who considered his patients his friends; who answered his own phone calls from them and whose incredible laugh and twinkling eyes lit up the day of everyone he met. Patients came in with a problem, but left with a smile.

Mitch loved boating with Marianne, anchoring at Shackleford Banks and watching the sun set. He was a hunter and loved to travel. Mitch was the consummate friend, a wonderful father and was learning the early ropes of grandfatherhood-a job he undertook with a huge heart and immense love.

No one who knew him ever doubted that he was a man's man, a doctor's doctor and above all, at all times, a gentleman.

Aside from his countless friends, Mitch leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Marianne, his daughter Anna and husband Jason Severn of Elizabeth, CO, Joseph and Kimberly Hardison of Waxhaw, NC and grandson Reed Maxwell Hardison, sister JoLynn Futch and husband David of Burgaw, NC. He was predeceased by his parents and brother, Ronald Hardison.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, September 15 at 10:00 A.M. at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 219 Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. Visitation will be Monday night from 7:00-9:00 P.M. at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home, 300 St. Mary's Street.

Contributions in Mitch's name may be made to Transitions Life Care (formerly Hospice of Wake County), 250 Hospice Circle Raleigh, NC 27607 or the charity of your choice.
