Obituary of Kevin Daniel Stewart

On November 24, 2021 Kevin Daniel Stewart left his earthly home in Manchester Tennessee and reunited with his mother Ima Jean, brother David Luke, and grandson Jacob Jr. in their heavenly home. Born to his parents, Ima Jean Ruth Stewart and Rev. Phillip Harland Stewart on September 27, 1952 in Ceres, California, Kevin was raised in the Central Valley where his dad was an Assembly of God minister and a plasterer. Kevin attended local schools graduating from Ceres High School in 1970. He was an avid athlete playing high school football, basketball, baseball and track. He was chosen as the sole recipient in Ceres High School Inaugural Hall of Fame for the class of 1970. He played football at Modesto Junior College and at New Mexico Highlands University where he was awarded a football scholarship. Kevin married his high school sweetheart Judith Ann Smith on May 20, 1972 and they had two sons Joshua born in 1972 and Jacob born in 1978. Kevin spent his career as a plasterer and built his own business which followed him when he moved his family from California to Oregon, Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee. A man of strong faith Kevin deeply loved his family and nothing was better than the time he spent with them sharing his love of God, sports and fishing. Kevin is survived by his loving wife of 49 years Judy and their sons Josh (Dora) and Jake (Jamie); their grandchildren Emily (Jacob), Kacy, Joshua, Max, and great grandchildren Ella, Hudson, Addilyn, and Porter.
