1966 - 2015

Donald's Homecoming Long time Anchorage, Alaska, resident Donald Stewart was called home on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2015. A celebration of life service will be held at Turning Point Community Church, 1612 Oceanview Drive in Anchorage, on Aug. 22, 2015, at 2 p.m., with a reception held immediately after the service. Donald was blessed to be a twin born on April 4, 1966, in Magnolia, Miss. Donald earned a Vocational Education Diploma specializing in Building and Trade from South Pike High School in May of 1984. After high school, Donald moved to Anchorage. Donald was a member of Turning Point Community Church. Donald often gave rides to people wanting to attend church. He had a heart for giving and helping others. He opened his home to visitors from out of state who needed a place to stay until they found employment. Donald had a passion for people, camping and salmon fishing: whatever he caught, he shared. Donald will be missed by his family, church family, friends and coworkers. Donald had a true gift of working with his hands in many occupations, but Donald's passion was for mechanic work: by simply listening to a vehicle, he could tell what was wrong with it. Donald enjoyed working on vehicles and he would work on them with family members. He was preceded in death by his mother, Leoney Stewart Fuqua; grandparents, Ellen Carmel and Nathaniel Stewart; uncles, Joe, Marshall and Nathaniel Stewart Jr.; and aunts, Mattie Robinson and Bernice McEwen. He leaves to cherish his memory his children, Alexis Stewart; and stepdaughters, Sheree and Brandi Allard; his siblings, Deloise Odom (Javis Odom), Dudley Fuqua, Gillis Fuqua (Shantel Fuqua), Carruth Fuqua, Edna Jean Cockerham (A. J. Cockerham), James E. Stewart (Diana Stewart), Donnis Stewart, Delbert Wayne Robinson (April Robinson), Wanda Robinson and Russell Stewart (Patricia Stewart); and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.
