Brandon Hart (Lebanon)'s Obituary
Brandon Michael Hart was born October 17, 1992. He lived 33 years and departed this life January 22, 2026.
Brandon was a fiercely protective and deeply loyal man, known for his stubborn determination and goofy spirit. A natural daredevil, he loved speed, adventure, and anything with an engine, especially cars and four-wheelers. Following his Dad's footsteps as a painter, he took pride in his work while never taking life too seriously.
Fearless, strong, and brave, Brandon approached life head-on, never backing down from a challenge. He had great talent and found joy in many things, trout fishing, smoking BBQ, guns, fixing up cars and in his younger years playing guitar- passions that reflected both his hands-on skill and his creative soul.
Brandon is preceded in death by his grandparents, "Granny and Papa" Joyce and Bob Hart, "Grandma Mary" Meyer, "Nana" Edith Pruett, "Nana" Barbara Camfield, and cousin Tara Joyce Peterson. Above all else, Brandon was devoted to his family.
He leaves behind his beloved wife and soulmate Kelsey and their six children Lucas, Noah, Isabella, Wyatt, Elijah and Lenora Hart, who fueled the strength in his courageous battle against cancer. He is also survived by his parents, Jeremy and Gloria Hart; his siblings, Matthew (MaKayla) Hart, Leeanne (Jaret) Scharnhorst, Veda Hart, and Ashley Cram; his grandparents Craig and Rhonda Hart, and Dan and Diane Griebel.
Brandon is further survived by many aunts and uncles he looked up to and cherished. He is survived by many cousins he considered siblings and held close to his heart, along with extended family and friends who will forever carry his memory with them.
Brandon will be remembered for the love he gave so fully to those around him. He will be remembered for never knowing a stranger, for never judging a soul. His final moments were spent doing the thing he loved most, being with his big family.
His presence was powerful, his loyalty unwavering, and his absence deeply felt. Brandon accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior September 12, 2025, and we find peace and comfort knowing those who welcomed him to his eternal home.
