Uncle Jimmy was the best uncle you could ask for... It was because of him i made somthing of my life and followed in his footsteps and joined the millitary and then met up with him in England to enjoy more bonding time. Jimmy u may be gone from this earth but u are not forgotten thanks for being a blessing in my life .... Jesus has got you now nothing better to ask than that. Life is short and this is our Goal to go home to our Father ..hope to see you on the flip side uncle. Love and Prayers for your family.

You don’t have very many lifelong friends and brother & sister in Christ, and when you do, you hope they’re as wonderful as Jim and ElsieDean Stewart. It has been many years since we’ve seen one another, but we have precious memories of the times together. Jim always had a huge smile on his face and greeted you with a big hug. He always made you feel special. He was the one who was special! He will be very missed, but we know he’s rejoicing with our Lord. “Well done good and faithful servant.”

I had the opportunity and privilege of working with Stew at USPS. When I think of him, the phrase "GET TO WORK" is the first thing that comes to mind. Lol if he ever seen people standing around, he would casually go by, check their trash and then proceed with his famous phrase. He was such a kind soul and someone who imprinted on me at a young age. Prayers for peace and comfort over this sweet family ??
