J.D. Hartman is John Hartman's oldest child and only son.  They also have 3 wonderful daughters, Catherine Grace, Macy, & Claire.

*JD had a near drowning accident on October 11, 2008 in our family pool. John took him out of the hot tub and began cpr. We are forever grateful to the EMTs that were able to start his heart again. Our youngest daughter, Clare, told us 'Bubba jump in hot tub'. We believe he knocked the wind out of himself and inhaled the pool water.

We have been blessed by the prayers of so many and we continue to hold fast to God's promise of His perfect healing for JD. It has been long and slow and emotionally painful. But as Catherine Grace put it, JD is lucky, he has had 2 lives...
