He will be remembered for his good heart and caring nature.

Steven Russell Hart, 73, passed away November 9, 2026, at Frankfort Regional Medical Center in Frankfort, Kentucky. Born on July 22, 1953, in Lexington, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Arthur Paul Hart, Jr. and Joanne Horine Shyrock.

Steven was a kindhearted and caring man who was known for his likable personality, sharp mind, and attention to detail. He had a lifelong love of cars and especially enjoyed working on them, taking great pride in his PT Cruiser. Naturally handy and mechanically inclined, Steven had a remarkable ability to fix just about anything, particularly when it came to automobiles. He also enjoyed playing guitar, tending to his garden, and watching old Western movies. Steven had a special fondness for cats, especially his beloved Lila, who held a special place in his heart. Whether working on a car, spending time in his garden, or enjoying one of his favorite pastimes, Steven found happiness in the simple things in life and will be remembered for his good heart and caring nature.

In addition to his parents, Steven was preceded in death by a son-in-law, Kenny Ansert; his best friend, Kerry; and a great granddaughter.
