 Since the penning of this obituary, Stuart’s Papa, Harold Thomas Christian passed away on December 30, 2024, at the age of 82.

 Stuart shared a special bond with his Papa, who was his best friend, and he treasured every moment they spent together whether it was talking about or working on cars, playing cards, or watching one of Papa’s favorite TV programs. Papa’s garage was a favorite place where you could find them talking. He had a special bond with his Nana his entire life. She would make him waffles “with love” just the way he liked them and was always there for him whenever he needed her. He enjoyed the time spent with Nana and Papa. They were his “safe place.”

Growing up his sister Kayla was his best friend. They were two peas in a pod and inseparable. She was Robin to his Batman. They shared an undeniable bond filled with love for one another. Stuart loved his youngest sister Alaina and enjoyed spending time with her playing video games or watching TV together. Stuart also enjoyed hanging out with his friends, many of whom he considered family.

 In the summer of 2024, Stuart made a profession of faith in Jesus. This decision gave him much needed hope and joy that he had been searching for. The Sunday evening before his passing, Stuart was at a Christmas singing at Walton Community Church with his closest friends. Stuart’s life was changed after Jesus became Lord of his life.

 Stuart’s family invites all who knew him to celebrate his life and remember the joy he brought to the world but mostly to his family and friends. His legacy of kindness, humor, and love will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him.
