Frank Stewart

April 15, 1958 – May 4, 2025

Frank Stewart, 67, passed away at his home in Lovell on May 4, 2025. 

He was born on April 15, 1958, in Cortez, Colorado, to J.T. and Maxine Stewart. Frank spent his early childhood in Colorado before moving with his family to Deaver and later to Powell, where he attended school. In Powell, he earned his course certificate in speed reading.

A pivotal moment in Frank’s life came during the summer between his 11th and 12th grades, while visiting family in Amarillo, Texas. Frank was tragically shot in the head, but his determination to survive shone through. He defied the odds, relearning to read, write and walk. Frank was always someone who never gave up.

In October 1978, Frank married his lifelong partner, Carol Elaine (Brown) Stewart. Frank and Carol shared 45 years of marriage marked by love, commitment and resilience. Together, they raised three sons, Aaron, Ryan and Justin. Tragically, their youngest son, Justin, passed away at just 10 months old, a heartbreak that would leave a lasting impact on the family.

Frank was a dedicated worker, initially employed at American Colloid and later at Nicholls and Lewis. In his later years, he remained active doing handyman work, especially in mechanics and yard care—always ready to lend a helping hand.

Frank had a gift for working with his hands. He enjoyed fiberglass work, auto mechanics and wood carpentry, and he often used those skills to help family, friends and neighbors. He was a devoted husband, a steady and loving father and a proud grandfather. His grandchildren adored him, and his quiet generosity and strong presence touched many lives.

Frank will be remembered for his steady hands, quiet strength and unwavering willingness to help others. His legacy of resilience, love and service will continue to inspire all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Carol Elaine Stewart, youngest son Justin Todd Stewart and parents J.T. and Maxine Stewart.

Frank is survived by his sons, Aaron (Kasie) of Greybull and Ryan of Byron; grandchildren Ethan Goton and Korbin Stewart of Greybull, Justin of Lovell, Kaylee Stewart of Powell and Chareasa Zeller of Powell; 16 nieces and nephews; and many dear friends.

A service to honor Frank will be held on Friday, May 9, at 3 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Lovell. Interment will follow in the Byron Cemetery.
