Stew's Exit

Stewart Wayne Young passed from this life to the next on May 31, 2008, at home, with his parents and his former wife by his side. Born January 10, 1971, in San Bernardino, he and his family moved to Yuba City when he was 11. He attended Faith Christian School and graduated from Yuba City High School in 1989. He was also a graduate of the University of Phoenix with a B.S. in Business Administration. In 1999 he and his wife moved to Seattle, Washington, where Stewart continued writing for various publications before becoming an insurance underwriter for States West Life in Seattle.
Throughout Stew’s illnesses he remained a gentle and joyful soul, and we will always remember his sense of humor, his thoughtfulness, and his strength in the face of adversity. He will be sorely missed, and will remain in our hearts forever.
Stewart is survived by his parents, Roberta and Kenneth Young, Yuba City; his sister, Margaret (Margee) Foley, Joplin, Missouri; grandmother, Clara Young, Victorville, CA; uncle, Richard Young, Victorville, CA, and his ex-wife, Monique (Young) Colver, Vancouver, WA. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Robert and Yolanda Hutchison, and his paternal grandfather, Chester Young.
