Kruze Carpenter-Stewart Obituary
He was born Jan. 26, 1993 in Coudersport, Pa. the son of Alexander A. Stewart and Kathy J. McGavisk Carpenter.
Kruze was an extremely talented young man with several God-given gifts. The main one being music. He wrote, played and sang songs his entire life. God blessed us with him for a short time and he will be loved and missed by so many and live in our hearts always. He'll be lovingly remembered for his music, a gift he left to us all in videos and clips. He had dreams to go back to school and work in the mental health field. As somebody who often didn't know his place in this world, he wanted to support and guide others who felt the same. Kruze truly understood what it felt like to struggle, and he did not want that for anybody else. We find peace in knowing he is with our Lord and Savior. Rumi said "Death has nothing to do with going away. The sun sets and the moon sets, but they're not gone." We hope while missing him, you can find peace in his songs and all the wonderful memories. We also encourage all who read this to check in with their loved ones. Every moment on this earth is borrowed. We will see you in heaven. Play us a song.
Kruze is survived by his father, Alexander (Laurie) Stewart of Pitcher, N.Y.; his mother, Kathy (Robert) Carpenter of Smethport; a son, Koda Carpenter of Horseheads, N.Y.; brothers, Kody Carpenter of Smethport, Kylar Carpenter of Indiana, Alexander (Cristina) Stewart of Ft. Drum, N.Y., Jacob Stewart of Warwick, N.Y.; and sister, Ryanna Carpenter of Coudersport; step sisters, Tracey (Lonny) Seeley of Candor, N.Y., Elizabeth Hubbell of Lansing, N.Y.; a grandmother, and several aunts, uncles, cousins, a niece and nephew.
