F.E. Stewart Obituary

F.E. "Gene" Stewart CHARLESTON - F. E. "Gene" Stewart (affectionately known as GaGa) passed away November 20, 2017; surrounded by family. He was born July 14, 1949, in Decatur, AL. He came to reside on James Island at a young age and made it his home. He graduated from James Island High School. Shortly after he volunteered for the Marine Corp and served in Vietnam. He was a member of Bethany United Methodist Church. He never met a stranger, he made everyone feel welcome and that they were a part of the family. He was always willing to lend a hand; he was PTA president and volunteer cook for the JIHS baseball teams' annual fish fry. He gave hay rides to the Holiday Festival of Lights. He was an avid tractor collector; he enjoyed spending time at his farm/playground in Cottageville "Rancho Cuckoomongo" where his family and friends would camp, ride four wheelers, paintball, hunt and enjoy each other's company. What he cherished most in life was his family: his wife of 47 years, Nancy; son, Pete, and his wife, Cindy, son, Toby, and his wife, Dawn; grandchildren, Bucky, Carson, Hayden, Cole, Ashley, and Natalie. He will be missed by all of his family and friends. A memorial service will be held at Bethany United Methodist Church, 1853 Maybank Highway. James Island, SC 29412, Monday, November 27th, at 1:30 PM. Reception at fellowship hall will follow. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Bethany United Methodist Men's Club.

Dear Toby - I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was such a gentleman. I always liked talking to him when he went by on his golf cart! My sincerest condolences, Michelle Howard

Nancy and Family,
I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Gene. My parents were so blessed having Gene as their neighbor. He was by their side lending any type of support needed. Whenever I came into town, I looked forward to seeing Gene in the front yard. He always had to catch me up on his latest jokes. He was such a generous and caring man and will be missed by so many. Nancy, hang tight to the memories.

A better man or neighbor has never graced this earth. Gene was always so caring about our cancer challenges, never complaining about his own struggles. He will be remembered fondly forever. God bless his lovely wife and family. We are thankful to have known him.

I'm am so very sorry to hear this. Gene will be surely missed. He spoke so much about his family that he was very proud of and loved enormously. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them.

What you all said in Gene's obit and as with the previous comments, Gene had a wonderful gift of making others feel as if he had known you forever. I know your heart is heavy now, but may you find much comfort in remembering the good times and his love of his wife and family. Speak of him often and say his name, he is only in another room and will know your love.

Gene was one of the friendliest people I have had the "pleasure" of knowing. I have known him for many years even when my wife & family lived in Chesterfield. We always frequented the Gulf station on Maybank and he was always very nice to my wife.He will "always' be remembered.
