Jr was a happy baby—full of life, joy, and laughter. He was truly a gift to everyone who had the blessing of knowing him. He loved to dance, laugh, smile, eat, and play with his parents, grandparents, and sisters. As the final and youngest member of the Stewart family, he was undoubtedly spoiled—and rightfully so. I probably held on to him longer than I should have, but he was my heart. He was truly and deeply loved.
Jr’s presence completed our little family in a way that words cannot describe. Though young in age, Jr had a commanding spirit. His joy could fill a room, and his voice could be heard before he even entered. You always knew when Jr was near.

He didn’t have many words yet, but the ones he did have, he used with impact. And if he wasn’t talking, we knew he was probably somewhere putting something in his mouth! He loved music. Because of his love for music, dancing was his favorite pass time. If he wasn’t dancing, he was definitely eating. Jr was a little ball of life, energy, and light.
Tragically, Jr passed away due to an undiagnosed heart condition on May 23, 2025. His sudden departure shattered our hearts and devastated our family. And yet, even in our sorrow, we find comfort in knowing that Jr lives on—in the Gift of Life, and in the arms of our Lord.
Jr touched my soul and changed me in a way I never knew was possible. He taught me just how fragile and precious life is. I love you and miss you every single day. I carry you not just in my heart, but in everything I do.
Love always,
Mommy
