Andrew Stuart Obituary
Andrew Holmes Stuart, son of Frederick Anthony Stuart and Sally Eser Stuart was born August 30, 1973 in Atlanta, Georgia, and died unexpectedly in Kennesaw, Georgia, on May 30, 2025, of heart failure. He was fifty-one years old. Andrew is survived by his parents; his two minor children, Molly Evelyn Stuart and Andrew Holmes Stuart, Jr.; by his two sisters, Ellen DeVoe Stuart of Dekalb, Illinois, Caroline Stuart Behnke (Michael) of Minneapolis, Minnesota; and by his many aunts, uncles, and cousins in Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Michigan.
Andrew attended the Westminster Schools and the Galloway School. He graduated from the University of Georgia (BA, History, 1996- concentrating on the Cold War) and the Southern Illinois University School of Law (JD, 2002). After law school he joined an Atlanta labor and employment law firm started by his father, where he practiced law for several years. He later started Stuart and Johnston with his good friend, Gordon Johnston, where he remained until his untimely death.
While attending the University of Georgia, Andrew was a member of the Demosthenian Society. While a student at Southern Illinois University Law School, Andrew participated in the National Moot Court Competition in Washington, DC, where his team won the award for best brief and Andrew personally won the award for best oralist. For many years, Andrew authored Liberty's Window on blogspot.com, focusing on international affairs. From his early days as a lifeguard to his later days as a plaintiff's attorney, Andrew was a strong and compassionate rescuer, who used his very considerable gifts and talents to benefit many people's lives.
Andrew was a lifetime member of The Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, in Atlanta, where he was baptized and confirmed. He was also a member of the Georgia Bar Association and the Ansley Golf Club.
Services for Andrew will be held at the Cathedral of St. Philip on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 2:00 in the afternoon.

So sorry I could not be there today July 1 to celebrate Andrew's life and courage as he lived his short but full life. Always thought of him as his cousin Tara came up on her July 17 birthday and fondly recall their meeting up again later at his grandmother's funeral. Andrew visited Annapolis many years ago, when we were all younger, and he and I had a maybe too successful tour of the downtown bars and then could walk back to my house of Maryland Ave. Always appreciated his social and political perspective... came from good genes. God bless you Andrew, your parents and children... see you soon enough.

Dear Fred, Sally and the Stuart family, I am very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure to collaborate with Andrew on a number of Bosch legal cases, and he was wonderful to work with. A very talented attorney and I was relieved Andrew was on our side. Always a treat to be in his presence. One of many found memories for me was to be present for the first case he ran solo in El Paso, TX. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Steve Eller

Met Andrew after working with his Dad for many years. Just like his Dad he was very knowledgeable and always able to point me in the right direction. My condolences to the family, and especially to Fred who I also loved working with for many years through Bosch. I know Andrew he will be missed so much.

My friend Andrew Stuart had an infectious personality mixed gregariously with doses of gentleman, scholar, and affectionately rascal. We shared so many times together at the University of Georgia, and he was my lifting partner there for years. A booming baritone with an easy command of the room, he was a magnet for great conversation and lasting friendship. To quote Hamlet, "He was a man, take him for all in all,
I shall not look upon his like again."
Sending love and condolences to his family and many friends.
