Stewart, who died Jan. 19, 2016,

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.
He loved drawing, playing chess,
shooting pool, and back in the
day, playing basketball and foot-
ball, where as a running back,
he was remarkable to see. With
a beautiful voice, he could mes-
merize you with his blue mag-
ic style of singing, and with his
sharp dressing, he deinitely had
an impression on the ladies. 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 every
holiday, birthday or special event
in the future, we will continue
to have his spirit present, for he
will not let death keep him away.
We remember how he was al-
ways in charge, especially when
he would say “I’m the boss,”
“Don’t be crazy”, “Come on now
I need you here”, or “Have you
forgotten how to feed the baby?”
These words will forever ring in
our ears and heart. 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. So, until
we see him again, hold on to the
