STEWART, Brian
1943 – 2025
Mr. Brian Charles Stewart passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on Monday, September 8th, 2025, at the age of 82 years. Brian was born on August 17th, 1943, to Helen and Lionel Stewart. It would be over two years before Brian had a chance to meet his father, who was fighting overseas when he was born. Brian was the eldest of four boys, all growing up in a small farmhouse north of Big Gully — Maidstone, Saskatchewan.
Brian’s early adulthood was full of adventure, including time in the forestry industry, and a stint as a carnival midway professional. His biggest adventure would start when he met the love of his life, Carol Steeg, at a dance in Milleton Hall, who he’d go on to marry in 1969. Carol and Brian raised three children together, Troy, Curtis, and Danielle. The family lived across Western Canada including Port Alberni, Stettler, and Saskatoon, while Brian worked in highway construction.
In the early 1980’s, the Stewarts moved back to Brian’s hometown of Maidstone, where he joined his dad’s farming operation. Brian continued to farm crops and cattle for over 25 years in the area before retiring. Brian retired in Innisfail, Alberta, where he spent most of the last 15 years. He still kept up with his hobbies — watching the Oilers and Blue Jays, BS’ing with friends at coffee row, hanging out with his dogs who he always loved, and driving for Innisfail Truck Ranch which he really enjoyed.
Brian is lovingly remembered by his children, Troy, Curtis (Ruth), and Danielle; his grandchildren, Danae, TJ, Taylor (Fraser), Louise, Ryan (Kate), Ben, and Colton (Paige); his great grandchildren, Ethan, Ella, Emma, Esme, Sage, and Cassidy; his daughters-in-law Wendy and Jackie; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. Brian is predeceased by his parents, Lionel & Helen; his brothers, Darrell (Linda), Ronnie (Caryl), and David ‘Bones’ (Darcy); and his wife, Carol.
A Celebration of Brian’s Life will be held at a later date. Donations in Brian’s memory can be sent directly to United Way Central Alberta at www.caunitedway.ca. Cremation entrusted to Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, Red Deer,
