Obituary for Jeffrey Stewart
Jeffrey Stewart
January 14, 1980 - July 20, 2021
We are devastated to announce the tragic passing of our devoted husband and father, Jeff Stewart, of Stony Mountain, MB who left us suddenly on July 20, 2021 at the age of 41.
Jeff is survived by the loves of his life, wife, Jena, and sons Everett and Marshall Stewart. His parents Bruce Stewart, and Kim Stewart, parents in law Gerald and Lori Grandmont, brother Craig (Shaylene), niece Keanna, nephew Kayden, brother Chris, niece Malori, nephew Braxton, brother-in-law Josh Grandmont, as well as countless other family members and friends.
Jeff was raised in Stonewall, MB, and if he wasn’t running around town playing with his many friends, he was doing his share of the chores on the Stewart family farm. He was never big into sports as a kid, but developed a love for hunting, fishing and trapping that followed him into his adult life. This hobby kept him busy travelling far and wide on hunting and fishing trips wherever he could secure a tag, launch a boat, or lay a trapline, and was often accompanied by his brothers and close friends.
Jeff and Jena came together as friends while young teenagers, through Jeff’s friend, and Jena’s cousin Patrick, but it wasn’t until a few years later that Jena and Jeff realised, they were more than friends. After 7 years of building their life together, Jeff and Jena married on February 8th, 2011, on a destination wedding to remember in Playa Del Carman, Mexico. They welcomed their first son Everett later the same year. Their family was complete with the birth of their second son Marshall in 2014, and life got busy, running around with our active family.
Jeff’s career followed the Stewart family tradition of agriculture, and with his quiet and humble nature, he worked tirelessly building his custom forage harvesting business, Jeff Stewart Harvesting, as well as farming with his brothers. When Jeff wasn’t out in the field, he adored hunting, fishing, trapping, and spending time traveling with Jena and his Boys. We most recently came back from our annual family summer road trip, where we spent time in western Manitoba, and earlier this summer spent weekends at Big Whiteshell Lake. Jeff would spend hours outside with his little boys, teaching them about catching frogs, shooting geese, reeling in a master angler, snowmobiling and building a bonfire.
There is a hole in our family and our hearts, that can never be filled. We will miss him every second of everyday. We will forever cherish the memories of our life together, until we meet again.
In lieu of flowers, an education trust has been created for Everett and Marshall at the Stonewall Sunova Credit Union.
A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held on August 4th 2021 at 2:00 pm at the farm.
