Christopher Scott Maynard, 53, of Russell Springs, KY passed peacefully from this life on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 at the Jean Waddle Care Center in Somerset. He was born on January 1, 1972 in Columbia.
Chris was the proud owner and operator of Maynard’s Lawncare, a business he built from the ground up in 2008. He took great pride in his work, but his greatest joys were found outside of work - with his family, his dogs, and the simple things in life that brought him peace.
Chris had a deep love for the outdoors. He especially enjoyed field trialing his beloved beagles, a passion that reflected his love for animals and the sport. He also found joy in trap shooting and pulling stompers with friends, pastimes that brought him laughter, competition, and lifelong friendships.
He was a faithful member of Bethel Church and lived his life with a kind and generous heart. To those who knew him, Chris was more than just a hardworking man - he was the one you could count on. He was loyal, honest, and deeply devoted to the people he loved. His family always came first, and his proudest titles were “Dad” and “Grandpa.” He will be remembered for his easy smile, his quiet strength, and the deep love he carried for his family and friends.
