Gregory Kent Stewart, age 70, passed away Thursday, October 5, 2017 at his home. Greg was born November 5, 1946 to S. Kent and Audrey Stewart in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first of five sons, Greg grew up balancing responsibility and his love for education and adventure.

He attended Las Vegas High School where he was a star football and basketball player. In 1964 Greg completed Airborne School and was assigned to the 173rd Airborne where he completed 44 training jumps and then served his country honorably in the Vietnam War where he made four jumps into the combat zone and earned the Vietnam Service Medal, Parachutist Badge, Marksman Badge, National Defense Service Medal, and the Overseas Service Bar. He was honorably discharged in 1967.

After his service, Greg earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in economics from Brigham Young University and later completed many management programs. He managed departments within Byron Jackson Pump Division, CBS Musical Instruments, Stewart's Electric Motors, and Black Magic Potting Soil. Greg was excellent at managing with precision and excelled in all his assignments. In Thayne, Wyoming he owned and operated Dad's Bar and Steakhouse for the past 25 years alongside his wife Jodi who he married in October of 1994.

Greg was an avid reader, enjoyed music, had a hearty laugh, was a gun enthusiast, and served on the Thayne volunteer fire department. Much of Greg's joy came from his children Brian, Erin, Meghan, and Bonnie from his former marriage to Jane C. Woods. Greg and his children loved to swim in the backyard pool, swim and play in the American River, and camp and enjoy nature together as they lived in Fair Oaks, California. Greg loved his grandchildren and took pride in watching them grow.

Greg is survived by his wife, Jodi, brother Grant Stewart, children: Brian Stewart, Erin Johansen, Meghan Brewer, Bonnie Moesser and step-children Nick Hemmert and Kim Gibbons. He also leaves behind 22 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild and many in-laws and dear friends. He is preceded in death by his parents and brothers: Mark, Dennis and Gary and step-son Erick Hemmert.
