Steven Carl Johnson, 62, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2026, at UK Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.

Born on August 14, 1963, in Winchester, Kentucky, Steven was the son of the late Lewis Carl “LC” Johnson and Carol Sue Rose Johnson.

Steven leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. He is survived by his beloved daughters, Heather (Sammy) Little, Kasey Johnson, and Chasity (Shawn) McCarty; his sister, Michele (Allen) Bradford; his nieces, Aleisa (Brian) Combs and Katrina (Scott) Bowman; along with numerous great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family members, and friends who will deeply miss him.

In his professional life, Steven was highly respected for his work as an IT specialist, a career that led him to Georgia, where he lived for over a decade.

Outside of work, Steven was a man of many passions and talents. He was an avid music lover whose appreciation for all kinds of music reflected his vibrant personality. He enjoyed the freedom of riding his motorcycle and had a true builder’s spirit, finding joy in construction work and creating things with his hands. Most recently, he discovered a passion for painting pinstripes on cars and helmets, always eager to learn something new and express his creativity.

Steven will be remembered most for the love he had for his family, his unforgettable sense of humor, and the countless “Dad jokes” that brought laughter to those around him. The memories he created with family and friends will forever be treasured by all who knew and loved him.

A memorial service to honor Steven’s life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Lewis Funeral Home of Irvine.
