Chad Steerman, age 18 of Cub Run, KY, passed away, Sunday, September 13, 2026. He was a 2026 graduate of Hart County High School and a cook at Olive Garden in Elizabethtown. Chad was such a light in everyone’s life, there wasn’t a day that he didn’t make some type of dad joke to make someone laugh or smile. He was an extraordinary person who accepted everyone for who they were. Chad loved to cook and eat, he found joy in riding his motorcycle and being with friends and family. He was so hard working and wanted everyone around him to be smiling and wearing his favorite color pink, because he loved to support the breast cancer survivors. Chad loved climbing on bridges and taking walks, as well as hanging with his best buds, his dog, Baseball and best friend, Tristan Downs
