Russell Donald Stewart
April 29, 1959 – November 27, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Russell “Rusty” Stewart at Soldiers Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Rusty was predeceased by his parents, Russell Stewart Sr. and Mary Stewart (Scott). He is survived by his brothers, Danny Smith (Sandra) and Patrick Smith. Rusty was a proud uncle to Stephen Smith, Robin Harris, Sherry Smith (Ron), Tanya Smith (Sean), Sheldon Smith, Nicole Smith, and Grant Smith; a beloved cousin to Jerret and Curtis Stewart (Michelle); and a cherished nephew of Pearl Dwhytie (Graham). Rusty was also an amazing cat dad to Bandita for 22 years.
Known for his infectious laughter and his ability to bring joy to everyone he met, Rusty was truly the life of the party. He lived life on his own terms and will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Brechin, followed by a celebration of life at the Brechin Legion. Details will be announced at a later time.
