Ronald Stewart, Sr. Obituary

Ronald Davis Stewart Sr., 71, gained his wings on July 13, 2024, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Born on June 7, 1953, in Knoxville, Ronald was a devoted husband and father.


Ronald graduated from Austin East High School in 1971. He began a fulfilling career at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's X10 plant, dedicating over 30 years as a skilled boilermaker.


A man of faith, Ronald was baptized at an early age Mt. Zion Baptist Church where he was an active member of the young adult choir for many years.


Ronald was a loving and caring husband to his devoted wife Lisa Stewart, and a father figure cherished by many. He is survived by his children, Ronald Stewart Jr. (Rhonda), Krishna (Bryan) Crawford, S'celena Stewart, and his stepdaughter, Brooke Johnson. He also leaves nieces Nathaline (Grant) Hansard, Regina Smith, Nicole Smith and nephew Calvin Smith and several grandchildren.

Known for his jovial spirit, Ronald also loved fishing, watching SpongeBob, and spending quality time with his family, especially his "little princess" S'celena. Whether it was enjoying eating ice cream or sightseeing, he cherished every moment with her. He never missed a moment telling her how proud he was of her.


His humor and ability to make others laugh were a light to all who knew him.


His legacy of love, laughter, and dedication to his family will forever be cherished by those who loved him dearly. There will be a private memorial to celebrate his life.

I worked with Ronald aka "overload" at ORNL. This man would light up a room with his humor. He was always a joy to be around. So sad to see him gone. Will definitely miss the late night phone calls at the plant.

With tears in my eyes and as hard as it is to even write this, I know it has to be done. I’ve tried to avoid the reality of what was actually going on, but here we are, and you’ve gained your wings. A lot of my childhood memories involve you and them and I will always cherish them. You are the reason why I love fishing to this day, along with Bunnie of course.. I love you & you will be missed. This is not goodbye, but see you later.
