IN REMEMBRANCE OF ADAM GRADEN STEWART 10/22/1984-9/1/2021

ADAM WAS BORN ON BARKSDALE AFB LA AND SPENT THE MAJORITY OF HIS CHILDHOOD IN SAN ANTONI0, TX.

HE WAS BORN INTO A FAMILY OF MUSICIANS AND BEGAN PLAYING THE GUITAR AT 11 YEARS OLD.  HE LOVED MUSIC AND HAD ECLECTIC TASTES. HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN BORN INTO THE WRONG DECADE. A HIPPIE AT HEART. AMONG HIS FAVORITE ARTISTS WERE THE DOORS, GRATEFUL DEAD, JIMI HENDRIX, BOB DYLAN AND THE BEATLES.

HE WAS A TRICKSTER WITH A DISTINCTIVE, RAUCOUS LAUGH AND ALTOGETHER INAPPROPRIATE SENSE OF HUMOUR. HE TRULY ENJOYED DRIVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY MAD WITH HIS PRANKS, WHICH HAVE SEEMED TO CONTINUE FROM BEYOND.

BLESSED WITH A BRILLIANT, CURIOUS MIND, HE COULD CONVERSE ON A WIDE VARIETY OF SUBJECTS. ONE WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESSED THAT HE SELF STUDIED. HE DISARMED ALL THOSE HE ENGAGED WITH HIS RARE ABILITY TO DISAGREE WITHOUT BEING DISAGREEABLE.

ADAM NEVER MET A STRANGER. OUTGOING AND AFFABLE, HE MADE FRIENDS OF SAINTS AND SINNERS. AS FAR AS HIS FAMILY IS CONCERNED, WE ARE SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE.

ADAM WAS A BEAUTIFULLY FLAWED HUMAN BEING WHO DIED TRAGICALLY AND TOO SOON. HE WILL BE MISSED.

HE IS SURVIVED BY 3 DAUGHTERS: EVA, PENNY AND SKYE OF MARANA, AZ. 2 SONS GIBSON AND PARKER OF EMPORIA, KS. HIS PARENTS GRADEN STEWART AND KAREN LOFTON OF SHREVEPORT, LA. A SISTER MANDY LYNN LARA OF SAN ANTONIO, TX. 2 BROTHERS LESPAUL STEWART OF GREELEY, CO AND TARIK SAAID OF SAN ANTONIO, TX. 1 UNCLE, KEVIN MIDKIFF OF LEADVILLE, CO. 1 AUNT, PATRICIA WILLIAMSON OF GLASGOW, SCOTLAND. NUMEROUS COUSINS, NIECES AND NEPHEWS, AND FRIENDS WHOM HE LOVE FIERCELY AND WAS LOVED BY.

HIS MEMORIAL/TOAST/ROAST/JAM SESSION WILL BE HELD IN SAN ANTONIO, TX ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 ^TH FROM 5:30-7:30 PM. FOR PARTICULARS PLEASE, CONTACT MANDY LYNN LARA OR KAREN LOFTON.
