In Loving Memory of our dear Kyrell “Rell” Tocarise Stewart, a shining light in our lives.
Born on February 8, 2013, at Johnston Memorial Hospital, Kyrell was cherished by his parents, Martin Stewart and Kaitlin Adams. He brought immeasurable joy to this world and leaves behind two adoring sisters, Malaya and Kaylee Stewart, who will forever hold him in their hearts.
Kyrell was a bright and loving boy who radiated kindness and joy. He attended Coats Elementary and Coats Erwin Middle School, where his joyful spirit touched the lives of many. His playful nature and silly antics always brought smiles to those around him.
Outside of school, Kyrell found immense joy in his video games, exploring the outdoors, swimming, and playing football and basketball with his family and cousins. His laughter and vibrant smile had a magical way of brightening even the darkest days, serving as a reminder of the incredible impact he made on everyone he met.
Kyrell's love for his family was boundless. He is deeply missed by his devoted mother, Kaitlin L. Adams of Coats, NC, his father, Martin T. Stewart of Clayton, NC, his beloved grandmother Mildred Stewart, and grandfather Danny Liles Stewart, both from Clayton, NC. Kyrell's two sisters, Kaylee and Malaya, along with a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family, will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
His relatives include his aunts Heather Adams, Shawana Stewart, Tachelle Stewart, and Trudy Campbell, and uncles Devin Brantley and his spouse, Kenyettia Frazier. Kyrell's cousins from both sides of the family – including Dretoriana Stewart, Travyona Stewart, Serenity Poole, and many more – will always remember him fondly.
Beyond his family, Kyrell was loved by his teachers, friends, and a broader community that recognized the warmth he shared. His spirit will continue to inspire and uplift those who had the privilege to know him.
As we remember Kyrell “Rell” Tocarise Stewart, let us cherish the love he spread and the joyful memories he created. He will be profoundly missed but will live on forever in our hearts.
