Alexander Jamison Stuart

Alexander Jamison Stuart, June 19, 1990 - January 10, 2023 (32) became a citizen of the world at six years of age when he attended the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. He was passionate about people and eager for discovery. He cared for others less fortunate and was eager to serve. He embraced life to the fullest. He graduated from Cary Academy in 2008 and from Duke University in 2012 and was a marketing consultant who traveled the world. He had worked in South America and passed away from an illness while traveling with friends in Mexico. Alexander Stuart is survived by his parents Jim and Cathy Stuart, his beautiful sister Channing as well a network of family and friends across the globe who will miss him dearly.

He was happiest visiting new places, meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. Upon graduation from Duke, he worked in corporate communications at the American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. Thereafter, he returned to the United States where he worked for Major League Soccer and later became a marketing consultant and agent for sports professionals and teams. He was involved in domestic and international companies in furtherance of sport including various German and English Premier League Football Clubs. He worked in international real estate development and sports venue management. Most recently he was involved in the block chain industry.

Alexander was fascinated by world affairs and saw sport as a mechanism to bring the world closer together. He planned to pursue a graduate degree in International Studies. He had a curious mind and had a wealth of knowledge and was a willing teacher to others. He loved sport, played sports, and knew sports. His knowledge of the world and of sports was unparalleled. His depth of knowledge, work ethic, insight and initiative were palpable. He crisscrossed continents in his professional career, from Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.

His infectious personality, sarcasm and dry wit were engaging and brought joy to all who knew him. He would never fail to make one laugh until they cried with his keen sense of humor. His passion for music was never ending as he loved to dance and even became a DJ in Washington and Bogota just for fun.

After COVID travel restrictions were relaxed he continued his work and discovery quest from across the continental United States and from Riyadh to Bogota.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Helping Hand Mission, 623 Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh, NC 27610 (919) 829-8048 c/o Sylvia Wiggins where he began volunteering at age six.

He accomplished more in 32 years, than most people dream of doing in a lifetime. Although he was alive for a such a short time, he will remain in the hearts of all who knew him forever. Despite the unending grief there is gratitude for his remarkable life. A celebration of his life will be held on January 28, 2023. For further details, please contact channing.stuart23@gmail.com
