Alex (Joseph Alexander George) Stewart was born in Vermilion, Alberta on November 16, 1938 and was the second oldest of 7 children. He and his mother and sisters had many escapades with horses and pioneer farming. With his Uncle Bob’s encouragement, he joined the Alberta Government Department of Public Works. Alex went to Alberta College and then SAIT/NAIT completing his journeyman carpenter certificate, and became a supervisor of building construction, and then advanced to senior management responsible for government properties throughout Alberta.
He met his wife Carol at the Lacombe convention 60 years ago and they were married for 58 years. Alex was always one to lead by example in serving God, working hard building homes, caring for purebred horses, photography, playing the violin and learning to play the bagpipes when he turned 70.
Alex passed on to his eternal reward on August 26, 2023. He leaves behind a loving family with many dear cousins, nephews, nieces and children.
A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, September 1, 2023 at 2:00 pm in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.
