MADISON – Steven “Bart” Bartholomew, age 80, passed away at his home surrounded by his loving family on February 4, 2023. He was born in Madison, WI on July 5, 1942 to parents Francis and Evelyn (Lang) Bartholomew. Bart was a proud veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and he was a Telecommunications Specialist throughout his work career.

Preceded in death by his parents, Francis "Bud" and Evelyn (Lang) Bartholomew; 2 brothers, Paul and Bruce; a sister, Fran Peterson, and his granddaughter, Jenna Lily who provides a direct link to heaven for all who proceed her.

To say the least Bart loved life. He was an amazing husband, father, gramps and best friend to all who knew him. He was an avid hunter and gardener, a bookworm, a singer and a straight up "Badass". His beloved dogs Duster and Buck are actively seeking a therapist.
