Charles William "Chuck" Stewart

1949 - 2023

Edinburg - With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Charles "Chuck" Stewart, a loving and devoted husband, father, brother, and a friend to all whose lives he touched. A courageous and adventurous spirit, he was born on May 30, 1949, in Trenton, Michigan, and passed away on July 27, 2023, in Edinburg, Texas. He was a man of many talents, but above all, he was humble, dedicated, and always up for an adventure. As Chuck Lindbergh once said, "Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance." Chuck lived his life to the fullest, always seeking out the best vantage points.

Chuck was a skilled pilot, soaring through the skies with the same courage and determination he brought to every aspect of his life. His love for aviation was only surpassed by his love for his family. With his wife, Lou, at his side, Chuck journeyed through life with a sense of adventure that was infectious. His dedication to his work was evident in his long and successful career in the aviation industry. His Christian faith was an essential part of his everyday life. He spent a great deal of time mentoring young Christians and building the faith worldwide. He was a true testament to the saying, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

Chuck is survived by his beloved wife, Lou, and their children, Karen Phipps, William Stewart, Jose Dacasa and Daniel Dacasa. He was preceded in death by his father, William Stewart, and his mother, Dorothy Archer.

His life will be celebrated with a funeral service on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, at 12:00 pm CDT at the Church of the King, 7401 North Ware Road, McAllen, Texas. He will be laid to rest at 2:00 pm CDT at the Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery, 2520 Inspiration Road, Mission, Texas.
