In Loving Memory of Michael Elliot Stewart

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son, Michael Elliot Stewart, who left this world on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at the age of 8. Michael brought immense joy, love, and light into the lives of everyone who knew him.

Born on February 11, 2017, Michael was a quirky and bright soul of a boy. He may have been stuck in a body that did not serve him justice, but he sure did have a spunk of a personality! He loved listening to people’s voices and any noises that had to do with being outside. He enjoyed sitting outside soaking in the sun as well as soaking in the water while floating in our arms. His smile would brighten any room he would enter, which will be forever cherished.

Michael is survived by his parents Paul and Jaime Stewart; his siblings Chelsea, Taylor, Liam, Karen, Jayden, and Raelyn; his nieces, Aubrey and Ayame; his grandparents, Todd and Patti Fletcher and Jack and Sue Miller, and many other loving family members and friends. He will always remain in our hearts as a source of inspiration and love.

The viewing will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 2:00PM at Heath Funeral Chapel, 328 S. Ingraham Avenue, Lakeland, Florida 33801. The funeral service will be held directly after the viewing at 3:00PM at Heath Funeral Chapel.

Though Michael’s time with us was far too short, his impact on our lives will last forever. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
