Fred Stewart Jr

Fred and Alma would have been married 34 years on October 25. He was a member of Southeast Baptist Church. As a young man, Fred would bake delicious pies and sell them to supplement the family income. He served in the Navy during the Korean War. Fred worked for Otis Elevators and later moved to Muskogee to work at the OG&E power plant where he retired in 1994. Prior to that, he served as the Chief of Police for the City of Morrison and was Captain of the Muskogee Police Reserves for many years. Fred was an avid fisherman and never met an ice cream he didn’t like. He was a family man and loved to help his kids and grandkids on home projects. He has hung blinds in several of their homes and was always the first one to show up when there was work to be done. Even when his health wouldn’t allow him to do the actual work, he would sit in a chair and happily supervise. Fred has been on many mission trips, helping to build churches all over the world. He loved cruising with Alma and their best friends: Larry, Kookie, Hutson, Gayle, LuLu, Mike, and Cindy. He also looked forward to his weekly Wednesday outings to Harbor Freight, Atwoods, and Schlotzsky’s with his best buddies: Larry Isom, Larry Hutson, and Robert Day. He always made sure his kids and grandkids had plenty of flashlights, batteries, scissors, and whatever else he thought they might need that was a good bargain. He was preceded in death by his parents: Fred and May (Smith) Stewart; son: Darrel Stewart; daughter: Julie Stewart; siblings: Robert Stewart, Leroy Stewart, Everett Stewart, Gilbert Stewart, Grover Stewart, Johnny Stewart, Ada Stewart Johnson and Gladys Stewart Lohman. Fred is survived by his loving wife, Alma; children: Lavona Stewart, Judy Stewart and Rick Sims, Walt and Barb Stewart, Robin and Phillip Henderson, Tammy and Darrel Atchison, Harley Seabolt and Jeanette Culp, and Elizabeth and Robert Capps; grandchildren: Brandon and Michelle Stewart, Joshua and Nicole Seabolt, Samantha Atchison and Dr. Eamon Darbandi, Matthew and Lakyn Atchison, Hannah Henderson, Jake and Blake Capps, Elizabeth Seabolt, Keith Stewart, Mikel and Melissa Stewart, Amanda Crigler, Frederick McFall, Kendra Stewart, James and Rachel Youk, Darrin and Mandy Youk, Paul and Brianna Youk, Tammy and Tim Huff, Pam Hannah, Danny Pierce, Crystal and Danny Stewart; great-grandchildren, Justin, Mika, and Katy Seabolt, Dragan Stewart, Jace Fillpot, Justin, Jacob, and Kaitlyn Youk, Desmond and Tyeson Youk, Luke Huff , Brianna Hannah, Amy Dawn, Adrianne Stewart, Cameron Stewart, Zack and Cody Aaron, Elly Mae Stewart, Malachi Stewart, Hannah Glenn, Lillian and Toby Burrows, Athena and Keagan Glenn, and Brandon and Julianna McFall; several nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog and companion, Noel.
