He was born November 12, 1948, in Washington, the son of Harry T. and Dolly Hart, nee Frauenhoffer. Kerry Lee was the devoted husband of Donna Lea Hart, nee Whaley, having been united in marriage on October 4,1969, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Jonesburg.
Kerry was the proprietor of Hart's Sports Shop in Warrenton which he owned and operated with Donna and son, Corey Lee Hart, for 31 years. A lifelong resident of Jonesburg, Kerry held many positions within the community during his life including Mayor, City Clerk and Water Meter Reader. He also served as a member of the Elks Club, Optimist Club, and Montgomery County Fair Board. When his children were younger, Kerry also refereed middle school and high school basketball, coached Khoury League games, and always fully supported his children's sports. A life-long avid sports fan, especially the St. Louis Cardinals and the Carolina Tar-Heels, Kerry also enjoyed playing sports and competing in power- lifting.
In retirement, Kerry's hobby became gardening. He spent countless hours perfecting the growing and harvesting of the tomato, while listening to sports radio, in the watchful eyes of his beloved cats.
