Larry Stewart, 66, of Piqua, Ohio, passed away Sunday, July 6, 2025, at Upper Valley Medical Center. He was born December 19,1958, in Piqua, Ohio, to the late Harold Stewart and Catherine (Holler) Stewart. He married Diane Rose on September 18,1998 and she survives.

Larry will be forever missed and remembered by all who knew and loved him.

Larry graduated from Piqua JVS in 1977. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army and was a member of The Piqua Crossroad Church of God Mt. Assembly, as well as the Covington Eagles. He worked for Wagner Manufacturing in Sidney for 17 years and then went on to finish his career working for DRT for 23 years before he happily retired. Throughout his life he enjoyed collecting many things, but his favorites were coins, guns, knives and marbles.
