He was born in Portland on July 7, 1952 to Katherine Na- coste-Dorris and Nathaniel Stew- art. He attended Boise Elementa- ry School and in 1970 graduated from Jefferson High School. With his lifelong ambition and deter- mination, he always achieved in the various jobs he held through- out his life, including work as a certiied truck driver, landscaper and an in-home care provider.

But his greatest attribute was how he took pride in being a brother, and his loyalty to his mother and other siblings who he made it his busi- ness to protect from anything. David is no longer here with us physically, but his gentle spirit and the memories of the love he gave all of us unconditionally are still within our hearts.

For he meant every bit of it. Know now that he’s whisper- ing softly in your ears, “It’s okay, I love you all. Make sure you take care of momma, for I need you here now more than ever.” Know that he has his arms wrapped around you, and if he could have stayed a little while longer, God wouldn’t have taken him home to live in the place we are all prom- ised if we just believe.
