Stuart Steiger Obituary


Dr. Stuart Steiger, 63, of Roswell, Ga., (formerly of Madison, Chipley, and Panama City, Fla.) died in the early morning of Feb. 13, 2017. He is survived by his sons Adam and Matt Steiger, his daughter Leighanna Gray, his wife of twenty-nine years Connie Steiger, and his two grandchildren Jake and Ellianna Steiger.

Stuart spent his life in the service of others through his practice of Chiropractic care. He brought mobility back to patients who had forgotten it, eased the pain of those who knew it all too well, and brought joy to those who had never known it. Patients traveled great distances to his adjustment table for improved physical and emotional well-being.

He was an adoring father and grandfather that only ever wanted the best for his family. He would give anyone the shirt off his back and then offer them his socks. He lost a decade-long battle with depression – a seemingly impenetrable fortress that blocked him from the love of family and friends, or any sense of comfort and confidence.

He was a best friend and a father, a trusted confidant, a prankster, a source of endless political frustration, an animal lover, and a fart joke junkie.

We miss him beyond words, but he is finally free.

In keeping with Stuart's last wishes, there will be no memorial service.

I was a classmate with Stu. He was a great guy and I have a lot of fond memories of him. He was always a very kind and gentle person. He really cared about his patients and his chosen profession. I was so sad to hear of his passing. I pray for him and his family.

Stu, you walked into my life and I will never be the same. I had never known anyone with such a good heart and soul. You recently showed me the cards you saved from your patients and told me how you would read them when you were feeling blue. You talked of how your family meant everything to you and I know you meant the world to them. I made the mistake of thinking we had many tomorrows. Stu, you brought joy to so many people. All we can pray for now is that you have found the peace you so wanted. The world will not be the same without you. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Steiger family and all that knew and loved you.

Dr. Steiger was an amazing doctor. I was very skeptical the first time I was adjusted. But he and his staff educated me about how the body heals itself. I have been a firm believer in chiropractic ever since. I will always be grateful to his kindness and compassion, and how much better My family and I always felt when we left his office. Prayers for the family!
