Steve Kyle McCarty

Steve Kyle McCarty, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2026. Born on August 22, 1941, in Marlinton, West Virginia, Steve lived a life centered on love, family, hard work, and friendship.

Steve dedicated more than 30 years of his career as a Construction Manager with Moeller Pools. Later, he embraced a new adventure as an over-the-road truck driver for Burns Motor Freight, where he worked until his retirement.

Steve found his greatest joy outdoors. Whether he was hunting, fishing, mowing the lawn, or working in the yard, he was happiest staying busy. He was a talented woodcarver, enjoyed playing the guitar, loved working on cars, and could fix just about anything. His willingness to lend a hand and his strong work ethic were admired by everyone who knew him.

Above all, Steve treasured his family. He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of 63 years, Patricia McCarty (née Bradley); his daughter, Kathryn Cleaver, and her husband, John; his granddaughter, Sara Grove, and her husband, Phillip; and his four cherished great-granddaughters, Lyla, Alani, Willa, and Alessia.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Winters Kyle McCarty and Ruby Sharp McCarty, and by his five siblings, Robert, Erma, Charles, Marian, and Gerald “Butch” McCarty.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Steve’s life. Visitation will be Thursday, July 16, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Robert E. Evans Funeral Home in Bowie, Maryland. A funeral service will be held on Friday, July 17, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Lakemont Memorial Gardens in Davidsonville, Maryland.

Steve’s kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
