Stuart Dean Denevi June 1, 1961 August 15, 2025 Stuart Dean Denevi, 64, of Fort Bragg, California, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Fort Bragg to Gerald and Lina Sue (Miles) Denevi, Stuart spent the majority of his life in the community he loved so deeply. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl Denevi; children, Jeremy and Kymber Denevi; stepchildren, Kristy and Kevin Gomez; and many extended family members and friends. Stuart will be remembered for his hardworking spirit, love of the outdoors, and his warm, generous heart. A lifelong hard worker, Stuart spent more than 20 years Millwrighting at Georgia Pacific before continuing his career at Universal Plant Services. He was also a dedicated volunteer firefighter for over 20 years, proudly serving his community. Though a big man, Stuart's heart was even bigger. He had the kindest smile and was often the happiest person in the room. He was a selfless father, husband, and friend whose legacy of love, generosity, and hard work will continue to inspire all who knew him. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Fort Bragg Fire Department. All who knew and loved Stuart are welcome to attend.
