Obituary of Lee Jay Hart

The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Lee Jay Hart was the type of individual that had the ability to walk in and instantly assume control of a room, any room, simply with his presence. He was one of very few with the sincerest of smiles; bright as a diamond, it could light up Doak Campbell stadium. His work ethic and determination were unequivocal. Simply put, he was a gentle giant of perpetual devotion. Lee Jay’s loving compassion and unparalleled personability with anyone, were undoubtedly among his most pronounced characteristics.

Lee Jay loved to travel the world. Despite being one of the hardest working men there is, he lived to see so much of our world that extended far beyond an office window. Lee Jay had the ability to show his warm interior to anyone who took the time to speak with him. His personality was honed by a lifetime of compassionate conversation with others.  Everybody would agree that Lee Jay gave the motivational speeches of a lifetime. We're not talking about the cheesy ones you would hear in a little league dugout, but the ones that would fire you up so hot that anyone would think they were about to take Florida State to the championship. He was blessed with the ability to see the greatness in anyone, walking stride for stride with them until they achieved it. 

Once upon a time, Lee Jay was an officer for the Satellite Beach Police Department. When he wasn't seeking entertainment through routine traffic stops on his own mother, Lee Jay found his passion for helping and serving people. Over the course of the last 22 years, he continued to serve others through Amerilife as both a manager and leader in various capacities. Lee Jay devoted his life to offering life changing opportunities not only for his clients, but for anybody who was blessed to work alongside him. This was exemplified upon his establishment of Polk County as the #1 office in the company for more than a decade. Lee Jay was proud to be one of the most successful GM’s in the history of Amerilife. However, he was more proud of his agents, especially those whom he appointed as general managers themselves. As Lee Jay transitioned into the role of Career Agency President and then Market Leader of Central Florida, he was able to extend this type of success to the entire company. There was not a single mountain too high or valley too low, that could hinder his ability to achieve greatness. His legacy he left behind on this Earth is one that will carry on for generations.

On June 4th, 2022, Lee Jay set sail on his final voyage far beyond the clouds and among the stars. He left behind his son Michael Hart, his daughter Sophia Hart, The mother of his children Rebecca Hart, His fiancé Brooke Thomas, Mother Linda Hart; just as handsome brothers Ronnie, David, and Floyd Hart, as well as his niece Kaylynn Hart. Lee Jay passed away while doing what he loved the most, traveling the world and conquering new lands. You will always be remembered as a King.
