William "Bill" Stewart

William Calvin Stewart, Jr., affectionately known as Bill, was born on April 8, 1941, in St. Louis, Missouri. He departed from this world on November 10, 2024, in St. Peters, Missouri, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, an unwavering spirit that will forever be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Bill was a dedicated diesel machinist, working professionally for over 40 years, whose passion for his craft was evident in both his work and his relationships. His intelligence and resourcefulness earned him the nickname "Mr. Fix It." He took immense pride in being able to troubleshoot and repair anything that came his way, a skill that endeared him to many. His infectious laughter and warm personality made everyone love to be around him. Bill's strength, both physically and as a person, stood as a testament to his resilient nature.

In his leisure time, Bill enjoyed fishing and boating, spending hours in peaceful solitude by the water. He was also an avid fan of football, with a special place in his heart for the Kansas City Chiefs. Watching games brought him joy, but sharing those treasured moments with his family brought him even more happiness. In addition Bill had many friends. He would want the neighborhood gang to know he loved them very much and spending his spare time among them created many happy memories.

He is survived by his loving wife, Janet Stewart; his daughter, Stephanie Stewart; his son, Michael Stewart; his grandchildren, Jenna Boyer and Emily Stewart; and his great-grandchildren, Ryker Boyer, Mabry Boyer, and Kennedie Stewart. This cherished family will carry forward his spirit, love, and the countless memories they shared.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, William Calvin Stewart, Sr. and Audrey (Gene) Davis, who instilled in him the values of dedication and hard work that marked his life.

The memories of Bill will live on in the hearts of everyone he touched. Visitation will be held on November 14, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, followed by a funeral service on November 15, 2024, at 11:00 AM. Both services will take place at Newcomer Funeral Home in St. Peters, Missouri.

As we bid farewell to a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, we take comfort in the love he shared and the indelible mark he left on each of our lives. Bill Stewart, you will be profoundly missed, but your spirit will continue to inspire and guide us every day.
