Obituary for Roger Lee Hart Sr.
Roger Lee Hart, Sr., 69, of Swannanoa, entered into eternal life on December 27, 2018 due to lung cancer.
Mr. Hart was born March 5, 1949 in Buncombe County to the late Ernest and Genivie Hart. Roger was a dedicated worker for Chase Samaritan Place/Stroupes Rest Home for 35 years where he shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with his patients. He found peace and comfort in the great outdoors hunting and fishing. Roger had a loving heart for kids which let the kid in him come out to play.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother, John Hart.
He was a loving husband to Martha King Hart; the father of Roger Lee Hart, Jr. and Jennifer Lynn Hart; the grandfather of Leah and Kacey Hart; and the brother of Virgil, Fred, Frank, Jerry and Steve Hart.
