Stuart John Edward Hart (12 Dec 1966 - 13 Oct 2026)

Deeply saddened by the loss of Stuart, but equally grateful to have had the privilege of knowing him and working alongside him over the years.

Stuart could always bring a smile, a laugh and a bit of banter, no matter what was going on around him. He has been an incredible source of support over the years, and I will always be grateful for his kindness, encouragement and the way he always looked out for me.

Stuart, thank you for everything. You are hugely missed.

Sending love to Raine and family. 💕

Such a wonderful man to work with. He will be sadly missed by so many.

So sorry I can't be there for Stuart's funeral this afternoon. I'm in a graduate assessment, interviewing future rail engineers, which I'm sure Stuart would appreciate. Go well, Stuart, a most excellent colleague, engineer and friend.

Stuart’s humour, attention to detail and support will resonate with anyone who knew him for a very, very long time. But little I can say will truly do him justice. He was a good man, and he will be very sorely missed.

A great guy with a sense of humour, what more could I ask from a friend and colleague. A special person who will be missed by many.

Stuart Hart treated his staff as Human Beings and I enjoyed very much working for him. I will miss him.

I will miss Stuart so much. We became good friends at work and, even after I moved to another part of the business, we kept in touch through our monthly Teams calls. It was incredibly difficult to see what his illness was putting him through, but he faced it with remarkable determination and never lost his sense of humour (the thing that we all remember about him). I am deeply grateful that he felt able to speak openly with me about the challenges he was facing, and I feel privileged that he trusted me enough to share that part of his journey. My thoughts are with the family and friends he has left behind.

Stuart was a great colleague and boss, with meticulous attention to detail and order. He was always ready to share a witty comment or cringe worthy pun to put a smile on your face. He will be greatly missed.

In loving memory of Stu ❤️

We have organised a collection at work, where Stu’s beloved wife, Raine, works, in his memory. All donations will go to Treetops Hospice, a charity that does such wonderful work supporting families and loved ones.

We hope this small gesture will help make a difference in Stu’s memory.

Forever loved, forever remembered. ❤️

What a lovely man - no ego, just warm and genuine. Rest in Peace Stuart.

Friends like Stu don’t come along very often, never had a bad word, always willing to help, the quick wit of any comedian I have ever known. Always greeted me with a smile and stretched out hand. To say you will be missed is a massive understatement. Rest in peace my friend.

A truly wonderful, kind Chap, always willing to help and always with fabulous humour. A very sad loss and will be missed greatly.

Stuart will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege to know him. He was a warm, kind and friendly man who you just couldn't help but like from the moment you met him. He was a fierce, proud family man and our love and thoughts go out to Raine and family at this very difficult time.

Stuart was a fantastic guy to work for, he looked after all of us in the team selflessly and actively helped and pushed us to develop and improve over the years. I miss him (and his humour!) already.

I enjoyed working with Stuart immensely - he was a true professional and a fantastic colleague, always supporting those around him and sparking laughter with his dry sense of humour.

Our Railway Family will miss him greatly.

Sending my thoughts and best wishes to his friends and family.

He was the best man.
Enough said

In loving memory of Stuart Hart

Having worked closely with Stuart for the last five years I am already missing his humour, level-headedness and good advice. I'd often turn to him in a crisis and I feel as though I've lost a collegue, a mentor and a friend at once.

He is sorely missed by everyone in his team and was one of the nicest people to work with. He cared so deeply about promoting the success of others more than himself and has had a huge impact on the lives of many who had hte pleasure to work with him.

He'll not be forgotten and he is very sadly missed.

So sorry to hear of Stuart’s passing, a great guy known over many years from Alston to Interfleet. He will be missed.
