In Loving Memory of Clifferd Britt Stewart
August 28, 1955 – September 21, 2025
Clifferd Britt Stewart passed away peacefully on [September 21, 2025 in Salem, Oregon. He was 70 years old.
Britt was born on August 28, 1955, in Safford, Arizona, and grew up with his family in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was the first of five children born to Clifferd Junior Stewart and Elma Janice Stewart. He was raised in a loving home alongside his siblings: Scott Stewart, Rodney Lee Stewart, Kevin Stewart, and Melanee Stewart.
Britt's life was defined by service - to his country, his community, and his faith. From 1976 to 1978, he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Oregon. His time in Silverton was a labor of love and deep spiritual growth. A faithful member of the Church, Britt served in many capacities, including as a devoted member of the Church choir, where he sang baritone and tenor with joy.
He pursued his education in geology at the Universidad Autónoma de México in Mexico City, becoming fluent in both English and Spanish. He also attended Dixie College in St. George, Utah - a time he fondly remembered for the friendships and experiences he gained there.
Britt was known for his warm smile, kind heart, and generous spirit. Always ready to help those in need - whether friends, strangers, or the less fortunate - he lived a life of compassion and quiet strength.
He married the love of his life, Olga Rocio Stewart, a Peruvian attorney, in the St. George Utah Temple for time and all eternity. Together they built a beautiful life, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories - especially during their travels across South America and Europe.
A dedicated entrepreneur, Britt founded several businesses, including Granite Trust (1994–2025) and Stewart Distributing Corp DBA Starlight Limousine (2014–2025). His work ethic, vision, and commitment to his family were unwavering.
Britt was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He is survived by his beloved wife, Olga Rocio Stewart; his children Clifferd Parker Stewart, Kylee Stewart, and Linda Zully Canaan; his son-in-law, Bryant Canaan; and his cherished grandchildren, Kevin Alessandro Canaan and Bryant Kenneth Canaan.
He found joy in the simple pleasures of life - from mushroom hunting in the woods to baking his signature homemade bread.
Britt`s life was one of purpose, integrity, and service. He leaves behind a legacy of strength, kindness, and enduring love for his family, faith, and community.
We will carry your memory in our hearts forever.
With all our love, your family.
Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 AM, October 11, 2025 at City View Funeral Home.
