Dr. Steward or known  as Dr. Buba or the monkey doctor was my dear neightbor, our friend, and our most trusted doctor. He as always willing to see my kids at the drop of a phone call to him. He never wanted pay for nothing he did for us.He always tried to help those who needed him. He will be greatly missed by so many. But we know he is with God now enjoying the fruits of his labor. I know if he could say anything to others right now it would probably be set your house in order. Turn your life over to God and live for Him daily. Shellie and Bonnie our hearts hurt for you and the rest of the family over your loss.

So very sorry for the loss of Edward.  I remember growing up with him and Bonnie so well. Attended New Hope Baptist Church with them, listening to their Dad lead the beautiful music!  May God give you comfort and peace!  My love.  ❤️🙏🙏

I don’t even know what to say. He was such a part of my life as a child. He was always so kind and funny. His office was within bicycle distance of the house and I don’t know how many times I rode up there to have something “bandaged” after doing something stupid. He always took the time to doctor my injury. 

So many good memories of this fine Christian man and doctor.  "Doc"  delivered 2 of our children..He was always at church on Sunday morning even after being up most of the night delivering a baby! Looking forward to seeing him again in heaven.  Love you brother!

Dr. Stewart was a kind man. He grew up with my husband. Our sympathy to the entire family,  but especially to Shelli and Bonnie. 

My spiritual mentor, friend, physician and Christian Brother. 

Dr. Steward was such an awesome  and caring doctor,  first Dr I went to when I moved to MS, God rest his soul!

Praying for his family and friends. I didn’t personally know him but he was my dads Joel  steward sir cousin. May he RIP.

He was truly a good & faithful servant. I treasure the memory of our 1987  Honduras Medical Mission trip together when he told me to get my things & go deliver the baby & don’t call him unless I absolutely had to have him. I took my interpreter with me & delivered a healthy baby boy that afternoon. I can still see the smile on his face as we talked about my experience. He will be missed but he did what he was created to do. Much love Doc from “Nina Nurse” ❤️🙏

Dr. Steward was such a sweet, kind, and caring doctor.  You always felt comfortable around him and felt you were in great care.  He would sit and listen to you and never made you feel that you were taking too much of his valuable time.    Sorry to hear of his passing but agree that Heaven just gained an awesome angel!  Prayers sent up for his family and friends!

I worked with Dr.Steward in Batesville office for about 5years . He was a wonderful doctor and such a sweet person. He was very good to me. He will be truly missed . Heaven has another Angel. 

When Dr. Steward had his office in Batesville, I worked across the street,  we saw him  often.  If we had a sinus problem or minor Issue, it was so nice to run across the street at lunch.  He always had a smile and a laugh for everyone he saw. He definitely has his wings and is with his  Lord Jesus.

I will always remember docs wonderful way of making me feel at ease when I was young and sick how he always told me to be sure and drink my buttermilk and the great times we had on the Mexico mission trips we took such a bittersweet loss as I know he is smiling and telling jokes in heaven

Doc taught me one thing. 
ALWAYS READ THE WHOLE LETTER! 
He was the best from his jokes to his homespun cures that actually worked. He was a wonderful example of a good Christian country doctor, and he will be missed.

Dr Steward was a fine man and Doctor. He saw many of my family and always helped the Girl and Boy Scouts of Batesville. He will be missed............Celebrate  you Heavenly rewards...............

I am a Rn & worked with Dr Steward at South Panola Hospital /Clinic years ago but have kept in touch with him! He was a godly man filled with the joy of the Lord and ministering to all who sought his care ! I never saw him angry but he was filled with the fruit of the Spirit which was evident in his life ! He loved his family & friends !will be missed by all !  He helped countless people in many ways ! I loved his car Fannie! My deepest sympathy to Shelley & all the family ! 

So sorry about Dr. Steward. He was a wonderful person! He took very good care of my family for many years!! Prayers for his family.
