David Stewart Obituary
5/2/1952 - 8/17/2022
David L. Stewart, age 70, of Holland, OH, passed away on August 17, 2022, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio in Toledo. David was born in Toledo on May 2, 1952, to the late Reed B. Stewart and Hannah Pat (Mooney) Simon.
David went to Rosary Cathedral Elementary of Toledo then graduated from Central Catholic High School. He owned Dave Stewart Auto Sales for 23 years and was a respected car dealer for nearly 40 years. David even enjoyed cars in his spare time, his favorite being the '56 T-Bird. He also enjoyed golfing and sipping a fine glass of scotch, with a cigar, alongside a good fire. He also was an avid traveler with his wife, Mary. They visited many countries and places, from Alaska to Ireland.
David was a man of faith and believed in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was a strong, hardworking, and caring man who was always honest and forthright. David will be missed tremendously by friends and loved ones.
Cherished husband of 50 years to Mary Monica (Lawrence) Stewart. Devoted father to Shadrick David Stewart and Griffin Reed Stewart. Loving "Grampa Lucky" to his only grandchild, Alena Elizabeth Stewart. Dear brother to Virginia (Tim) Wall, Bridget Clay, Rebecca (Kirk) Brown, Nancy Stewart, Tommy Stewart, Keith Simon, Kevin (Estrella) Simon, Colleen (Dick) Sanders, Patty (Mike) Link, Mary (Mike) Millenbuch and an amazing uncle to countless nieces and nephews.
The family will hold a private memorial and a public celebration of David's life will be held next year on his birthday. Details will be announced at a later date.

Thoughts and prayers to Mary and his entire family at this most difficult time. I was fortunate that Dave shared a small slice of Dave's productive life. Dave was committed to his beliefs and was always loyal to them. Condolences to his family and I'll see you up there, Stew

Mary and family, My sincerest condolences on the passing of my friend and former classmate (Cathedral and Central). Although we didn't see each other often it was always great to see Dave at class reunions or when I occasionally stopped out at his Dealership when I was back in town. God Bless All of you. Dave was a great guy.

A Man's Man! We lost a Giant of a man of the magnitude of a David Stewart. Our hearts are broken. More energy, more work ethic, integrity, character everything that makes a man great. When he came to work for me 40 years ago in my State Farm Insurance Agency, he really put me on the map. Dave personally set 11 new company wide records in an 18-month period! Of course, it was in the Car Finance division! I personally believe this is where Dave made his decision to be a Car Man for the rest of his life... he loved it!
Seriously, that's where the phrase came "you have to run fast to finish last around Dave Stewart" I'm blessed with so many great memories and he really got me ready in these last couple of months for this moment in time. The last thing he said to me was he loved me!
