Stuart Vincent Depp

It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Dreamt of you last night and came looking for you today. You still live in our hearts. Your presence is everywhere. But I still miss you.

Served with him in the first Persian Gulf War. Learned a lot from him. A true gentleman, mentor , and friend.

In the late 90's I was a Bike Messenger in Columbus, Ohio mostly working with guys half my size, and stature. I was training with this amazing human named Stuart. It was maybe my 2nd or 3rd day. He was showing me short cuts, and safe pathways throughout the downtown area. We were pedaling straight north on High St. almost to Gay St. when we saw a guy running with a canvas bag in his hand, and an alarm bell was ringing in the background. He had just robbed a bank was making a getaway on foot....

Stuart was doing random acts of kindness before there ever was such a book or trendy phrase. I STILL tell the following story to anyone who will listen, even now, 12 years after his passingIt was a glorious, sunny afternoon. I was hiking with Stuart (just the 2 of us). We walked and talked and laughed. There were quite a few other hikers on the trail that day. We were on the return leg of the hike, making our way back to the car, when we both noticed a rather plump, woman coming towards us on...

10+ years you've been away and I am just now discovering this. Tears and laughter reading the posts below. To my favorite blue-eyed cycling bud, hope you're wearing those rubber spurs and kicking that sucker into high gear! Yee-haaaaa... love you, man! -and I assume you will recognize the reference of my chosen nom-de-plume.

As we approached the 1st anniversary of Stuart’s passing, a small group of his friends gathered here in New Mexico at Starbucks Coffee (Stuart was such a coffee hound). We wanted to continue the process of honoring him and celebrating his life. It was a warm, sunny and simply glorious day. We felt as though sharing one of Stuart’s famous coffee drinks would be a good way to remember him and to be together. So we indulged in what was “his” drink. It is as follows: Venti (which is the largest...

My prayers and condolences go out to the entire Depp Family. Never had a chance to meet Stuart personally but I have met Cynthia Cain and have the privilege of working with SGM Depp, Cathy Ann at Oakland Military Institute. Finest people I know. God bless you all and all your families.

I learned late of Stuart's untimely passing. I'm sorry to have missed the celebration of his life with friends and family, yet, I celebrated life with Stu every time I saw him. What a guy! He could be dark and moody or absolutely jubilant. There were no shades of gray with this man. He was absolute and resolute in all that he did. He was my friend and I considered him part of my family. It is in my nature to wander and it seems we shared this common bond. So I found after wandering back to...

His glasses are now back in fashion. He was welcomed along with his buddy Hugh at 'Smokey Oak'. (Wisc.) They were on a road trip. We were building a solar house. They elevated the project with an incessant chatter about Cheetos and red pop, and 'Joe Blow'. Nothing ordinary about this man. Let's all strive to meet his standards.
