Met Stewart 5 years ago, after a 1/2 hour or so we had been sharing stories like old friends. Stewart always had that amazing energy filled smile that made you feel you had made the right choices. Honesty and fairness were great traits he always stood by. He carried his shoeing at a level most owners only randomly see. Still remember the day he pulled me aside and said one of my horses wasn't going to be any good, 2 years later and tens of thousands dollars gone he was right. He will be missed as a good person by many that knew him. It's too late now but would like to say it again " thanks for all you have done for me and the horses I have owned"
Missed by all,

Stewart, We cannot believe this horrific news. You were always smiling and always had great ways of making a bad day into a good one! The love you had for your family and loved ones was inspiring. Even more so the love you had for your horses and all the ones you worked on. Your patience and dedication in trying to always be there when we needed was most likely felt by everyone you have helped. This business lost a great man and your smile and kindness left a huge mark on our hearts! We will miss you in more ways then you know. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his family, Stewart always glowed when talking about his daughter Maddy and his wonderful mother! RIP.

Melissa, Brad, Paul, Owners and all the horses in our barn!
