Wilton "Pappy" Stewart

W. D. “Pappy” Stewart, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and dear friend to many; went home to be with his Heavenly Father on July 12, 2012. He reunited with Ruby Stewart, his beloved wife of 57 years.

He spent his life loving and serving others. He always stood firm in the Word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you ever needed to know what it meant to live a Christian life, you only needed to look at his.

Pappy is survived by his three sons and their wives: Raymond and Bernice Stewart of Hutto, Cecil and Karen Stewart of Wimberley, and Wilton and Nancy Stewart of Pflugerville, as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; who will love and miss him always.

After graduating from Bertram High School, Pappy joined the Army Air Corp in 1943; after discharging in 1946 he went to work for what is now AT&T as a PBX installer. He took early retirement in 1984. He and Ruby enjoyed doing a little traveling with friends.

Pappy was a long standing deacon and member of the First Baptist Church in Pflugerville.
