Stewart McEwan Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 17 to Dec. 17, 2008.

Stewart was a gifted footballer and had recently been signed by the Reading Youth Academy.

Head of year nine Noelle McCaffery said: “Stewart was a cheerful, warm-hearted and helpful pupil with a great sense of humour.

“His ever-present smile brightened the day of all those who encountered him.

“He was very popular with the staff and his peers alike at Maiden Erlegh School and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.”

A tribute video to Stewart called Lest We Forget has been posted on YouTube by fellow Maiden Erlegh pupil Benny to the song Where-d You Go? by Fort Minor.

Stewart I put some flowers at the big oak tree at the training ground yesterday and a few twigs fell in front of me, I know it was you having a giggle. Thought you would like to know that when GW has a bad day he goes and stands by your tree and realises that actually things are not that bad. He also said to some of the boys during training that they should be grateful of where they are and should think of you and realise how lucky they are. I think of you always and your mum and the rest of your family. We all miss you xxxxx

It's not right at Maiden Erlegh without you.
You were someone i could always come to if i had a problem, someone to look up to, someone to help me.
Even though your gone, it still feels like your here next to me.
No matter where you are, i know your looking down on everyone and feeling proud of everyone.
I miss you so much
i'll see you soon.

It still seems so unreal that you've gone. You managed to reach so many people with that amazing smile in only the short time we managed to share with you and that requires true talent; a thing that you had bundles of!

As everyone keeps saying, not a day go's by that you are not sorely missed and remembered. However we take heart from the way that you lived your life as a dedicated, fun loving comedian that could brighten the most miserable of days by stepping into a room. You will never be forgotten and your legacy of being a true gent will live on forever with all that were lucky enough to know you.

To Stewart's family, I have been amazed by the show of your bravery and commitment to honor your son and brother. You really are inspirational and words cannot begin to describe how many lives you have touched through acting, as you always do, in a way that Stewart, up there with the angels, would be so proud to see. You have raised a beautiful, caring young gentleman that has inspired so many others.

I hope these tributes show just how many lives Stewart has deeply touched and how many positive things he manages to fit into his amazing life.

Stewart, from all those that knew you well and from all those that did not have the opportunity and luck to have met and grown close to such a wonderful person you really were a true inspiration. There will never be another Stewart James Scott McEwan. You will never be forgotten.

Your Star Still Shines * God bless mate x

Stewart, to this day I miss you so much. There isn't one day that goes by without me thinking of you, missing you, and loving you. You were such an amazing boy and its so difficult without you. Baby, your loved, everyone can see that. I honestly don't know one person that disliked you.. you were too nice, and too amazing!

Each day we all keep smiling, because we know thats what you wanted; although we still are missing you so much. Its been 9months, but it feels like no time at all. I could never forget that feeling I had when i was told you had passed away.. it was utter devestation because you meant so much.

You're forever in our hearts, and Our star still shines for you, gorgeous! Ich vermisse dich Stewart McEwan, - i love you. -

Dear Stewart :) x
It’s been way too long since I’ve seen you! Nearly 8 months and it’s unbelievable how much we all miss you! I can’t actually believe you are no longer here with us, sometimes I feel like you’re here helping us all carry on. It’s true you don’t know what you’ve got until its gone, your an absolutley amazing friend and no one could ever come anywhere near to replacing you! I miss your hugs, your smile, the way you could always make me laugh and everything else about you, I would do anything to turn back time and fix everything. You will forever be a part of me, all my love “apezzzz”! ;) xxxxxxxx

AUNTY MANDY

July 5, 2009

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Stewart,
7 months on and nothings changed since the day you left us all. i miss you so so much- i doubt i will ever find someone like you in my life again- youre one in a million :)we've had such hilarious times together- after spending almost every day with you for two solid years we couldnt have got any closer as friends, you shouldnt have been moved classes in year 9 :( but then it was your own fault for being too loud hahah. the only time we ever had a fight was when i cut your hair off, but it wasnt real and it was over in a day after you made me buy you a boost bar looool
thankyou so much for making me laugh every day and always being like a big brother :D thankyou for always shining down on us now to let us know your with the angels :)
i love and miss you so much 'baby boy' ;)
Loads of love Beth xxx

You Alrite Stewart! Missing you so much. In life you dont always find such a strong bond with someone, and i was lucky enough to have found it with you. We have known eachother since we were 4 and from that point we were inseperable. Me, You and Peasy have been best friends all the way through from primary school to secondary school. We had such a laugh conoeing mate. Tirabid was set up to be one of the best times in our school life and i am so happy i was there conoeing with you. God bless you stewart, i miss you so much and i will never forget you!

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

Stewart, you're on my mind all the time. When i wake up, you're the first person i think of, when i go to sleep, you're the first and last person i think of- in my mind and heart. I still pray and talk to you every night (and i plan to for a very long time in the future), even though you're probably getting bored of hearing my voice and listening to me blabbering onto you with my long conversations! but i just want you to know how much i miss you and how empty i feel. Classes are really too quiet, i just wish i had a magic wand and could magic everything back to normal. "What the heart has once known, it shall never forget".

Janet, Ian, Calum and family, I admire you all so much for doing so well. You're all true heroes, keep smiling! You bought such an amazing boy up so well. :) x

Baby, Keep that gorgeous smile on your face, till the day i see you again. Enjoy watching all of us girls playing rugby in p.e (something you always wanted to see!;)) I'll see you again one day, when my turn comes around. God bless, best friends forever and ever. I love you, now and forever xxxxxxx

Stewart,
Over the past few months i think i've been ok. a lot better than the begining, i was a lot more upset than i let people see, i was trying to be strong, but i would still cry in the still scilence of the night, where no one could see or hear. then i decided to make you a promise, i knew it is what you would have wanted, i promised you that i would not shed one more tear over you, i had to be strong. i kept my promise to you and it really helped, i am not sad any more, when ever i see your face in a picture i smile and my heart swells, even though we where not friends for very long, i had come to love you.
Everyone at school seems to be a lot better, they laugh, joke and have fun, just as they should. we have started to stich up the holes you left in our lives, hearts and soals. i have even seen your brother playing about around school. things here are starting to get back to normal. though they will never be the same, we are healing, now you may, truely, rest in peace.

Stewart, I never knew you, but I may have seen you without knowing it up at the Mad Stad and it feels sad to know that now I will never see you play in goal for the team we both support.

I heard this poem today and thought of you.


"Is football playing
Along the river shore,
With lads to chase the leather,
Now I stand up no more?"

"Ay, the ball is flying,
The lads play heart and soul;
The goal stands up, the keeper
Stands up to keep the goal."

Stewart, I have read so many amazing things about you. You really touched so many hearts. Your an amazing boy. As I tell my child, "sleep with the angels".

Stewart, my son, had passion, strength and gave so much to other people. There is no question in my mind that Stewart would have been a good, strong and compassionate man, partner and father. I hope I can be half the man he would have been.

Stewart, i miss you so much. You were such a great friend, and were there when anyone needed you. School & Reading FC won't be the same without you, we all know you're looking down on us, making sure we're all safe and not getting into trouble. It's so hard to believe you've actually gone, but i'll see you again one day. I love you. I miss you. Keep saving those goals.

What a utter heartbreak, thinking of all of Stewarts family and friends at this very sad time. Did not personally know Stewart but have also lost someone very dear to myself almost three years ago he to was a loyal royal. Time helps to heal the heartbreak but no one can ever take away the memories. Heaven must be full of Angels in Royals Shirts. God Bless be strong he will always be in your hearts.

Stewart, I was so proud to know you and have so many special memories of you. Your smile, your enthusiasm, your cheek and your love of life will stay with me forever. How blessed we were to have you in our family. I will be strong for your dad and little brothers who, you will be pleased to know are just as annoying as ever!!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with your mum and Calum. The house must seem very quiet and tidy without you! Love Aunty Lynn x

Stewart, we were just neighbours and didn't really get to know you, but we will really miss your friendly smile and wave across the street. Thomas remembers you playing football with him in the street and was so pleased that you took time to play with him. We'll always think of you. The Lane family. Loxwood.

Stewart

Your sense of humour brought a smile to our faces and laughter to the changing room. You were my partner in crime and I wish that we had had longer to work together.

Keepers are a special breed, with their own code who always have respect and admiration for each other and you certainly had mine.

We shall remember you always as a member of our Reading U14 Academy squad - sleep well keeper
