OBIT
GARY LEE STEWART. Born on
June 17, 1947, he passed away peacefully at the young
age of 62, on January 31, 2010 while on vacation in
Hawaii with his wife. He was born in Memphis,
Tenn., and resided in Santee, Ca. Gary came to San
Diego when he was seventeen to join the Navy, met the
love of his life when he was nineteen, and married Elsie
in 1968. They have two daughters, Terri and
Sherri. He was a Vietnam vet and retired from the Navy
after 20 years. His brotherhood included the Sub
Vets, Masons, Cuddies and Scottish Rites. Gary leaves
behind his wife of 42 years, Elosia (Elsie), daughter
Terri and son-in-law John McCrystal, and daughter Sherri
A. Brown. His five grandchildren are Camron, Mavron,
Donavon, and Sara McCrystal, and Nicholas C. Brown.

He also leaves behind his 11 siblings, Bonnie, Johnny,
Pat, Mike, Kenny, Erlene, Amy, Tammye, Lonnie, Ilona and
Eddie, and his aunts Alvadean, Cololine, and Louise.
Gary's first love was his family. He had many
hobbies, but most of all he just loved computers and
helping people. He was a calm, responsible, and hard
working man. He loved a good laugh, and all of his
friends will miss his loving nature and his belly laugh.

to everyone who knew and loved him. He was a
wonderful and loving man.
