I am so sorry to learn of Stewart’s passing. I’d understood he was doing well and enjoying life and riding with his buddies. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.
I was honored to serve on the Rocky Mountain Horse Association Board with Stewart. His wisdom, kindness and respect for all made him a joy to work with, a valuable member on the Board and a great friend. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers for all his family and friends over the coming days! He will be deeply missed.
Joe and I were so saddened to hear of Stewart’s passing. He was a great friend. We spent many hours developing the plans for the Mid-Atlantic Rocky Mountain Horse Club and many breakfast meetings to plan activities over the years. Stewart was a true friend and horseman. He was always willing to help anyone with any horse issue or anything else. He will be truly missed by many. Trail rides with Stewart were always fun with laughter. Our prayers and deepest sympathy go out to Debbie, his family and his close friends at this time.
We are all saddened to hear of the death of Stewart, a fine law enforcement officer who truly loved his profession and worked tirelessly for all whom he served. He was proud to be a Hanover Deputy Sheriff and could be counted on to get the job done regardless of the circumstances. Stewart was extremely proud of Shane and his grandchildren and was especially proud that Shane was following in his footsteps, not only in law enforcement but in Masonry!
He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

I enjoyed working with Wick a long time ago on midnights. I will always remember how he enjoyed the homemade sticky buns that my wife would occasionally make. He was a good person and will be missed. Thinking of your entire family. Cherish the memories!
