LEO STEWART

Loved gathering with him, bought me coffee and shared scripture to range

I'm so sad to hear of Leo's passing. I remember as a young teen, going to Leo's and Lorie's place to ride horses with my cousins, Kayleen and Karla. Leo was always so kind, and I always though of him as a true cowboy and rancher. He comes from, and leaves behind, a great family legacy, as do many other Stewarts. I pray that your family will find peace in recalling wonderful memories, and hope in a glorious family reunion some day. My mom, Joyce Adams, also send her condolences.

I'm sending my love and prayers to the Stewart/ Jones family. I know that he is at peace now.

In mid July 1957, when I returned from my LDS mission to Texas, Leo was the first person to offer me a job, working for Wells/Stewart Construction on a new highway in Ruby Valley, Nevada. Not only that, but Leo and his father Paul provided me and my friend Dale Hunt a tent to sleep in, and Leo shuttled us all to Alamo and back to Ruby Valley each weekend. I earned enough that summer to pay for a year of college. Later on, I taught English to all of Leo and Lori's 6 children in junior high and...

Leo was my hero. When I was a baby, I had a lot of colic and he would help my parents by carrying me while riding a horse, even late into the night. It was the only thing that worked sometimes. Leo gave me my first horse, a little mustang filly, and I got the idea of being on the BYU rodeo team because Leo did. I remember him a a kind, gentle man who always had a good word of encouragement for me. Even when he was correcting me he would say, "Now, Maryellen, I know you are not going to...

Leo and I spent so much time together over the years truck driving and working livestock he taught me so much. I will miss him always. but I know hes in a good place and I will see him again

I will really miss his sermon on ou runs to gathering strays on the ranges. And the friendship we shared over the years. Things I had learned from him and the misadventures we have gone n.

As a young child I remember all the hard work he did helping with the Sagebrush Riders. He was a very talented rider and educator. He had a way with children that they all loved to be around him and learn. He will be missed not just by his family but this little valley he called home.
