WARREN -- Harold Stewart Hamrick, of Warren, passed away on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born June 26, 1951, in the beautiful hills of West Virginia, Stewart eventually made Ohio his home, but he never forgot his roots.
Throughout his life, he was a hardworking man who spent years working in the coal mines and then driving trucks. He knew the value of an honest day's work and took pride in providing for his family.
Stewart was a man of strong faith who loved the Lord and was actively involved in his church. His faith was an important part of his life, and he showed it through his kindness, generosity and the way he treated others.
Stewart never knew a stranger. With his friendly personality, quick wit and wonderful sense of humor, he could strike up a conversation with anyone and leave them with a smile. Whether he was telling a story, sharing a joke or simply enjoying the company of others, he had a special way of making people feel welcome. He spent many years volunteering his time with Cub Scout Pack 9 and Boy Scout Troop 9, where he passed those qualities on to the young men under his guidance.
Above all, Stewart loved his family. He was a loving husband, devoted father and proud grandfather who cherished his wife, children and grandchildren. His greatest legacy will not be measured by the miles he drove or the years he worked, but by the love he gave, the laughter he shared and the memories he left behind.
Stewart was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Rachel Hamrick; and his aunt, Irene.
He leaves behind his wife, Priscilla Sue Hamrick; children, James Brian Hamrick (m. Jamie), Summer Zipay (m. Michael), and Aron Hamrick (Tammy); grandchildren, Christopher, Abigail (m. Alton), Jacob, Joshua and Haleigh; sister, Sherri Anderson (m. Larry); and nephew, Daniel Miller.
Stewart will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all those who were fortunate enough to know him. He lived a life of hard work with a heart full of kindness, a spirit full of laughter and a faith that carried him home.
A memorial service in Stewart's honor will begin at 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, at Leavittsburg Baptist Church, 4150 Kincaid East Road NW, Warren, OH 44481.
