Stuart was born in College Station, Texas, on August 16, 1978. He grew up in Dallas where he graduated from Highland Park High School. He then graduated from SMU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. Stuart was the CEO of Bright Equities, LLC and a key Board Member of Bright Industries.
Stuart married the love of his life, Heidi, in October of 2004 and raised his three children in Lewisville. More than anything in the world, Stuart’s heart belonged to his wife and three children. His love and devotion for them was unmatched.
After years of battle, one of Stuart’s greatest accomplishments was his five years of sobriety. Never one to forget his past struggles, he embarked on a journey that taught him not only to be a student, but also a mentor to many like him. He was a devoted member of his men’s bible study and his AA group, which allowed him to develop relationships that will carry on well beyond his time here on earth. His family and friends knew that his honesty and leadership were the catalyst to his success. Stuart served as a Chairman and Board Member for multiple organizations, such as Drug Prevention Resources and Lewisville ISD Community Budget Advisory Committee. His contributions to those groups will leave us all with an exemplary example of what it truly means to serve, while asking for nothing in return.
Stuart’s love for fitness and the outdoors ignited a passion in him that provided huge amounts of joy in his life. He completed an Ironman, multiple marathons and thousands of miles running, cycling and swimming. Stuart also enjoyed time on the golf course, as well as hunting and fishing at the family ranch nearby.
Stuart is preceded in death by his father, Clay Bright. He is survived by his wife Heidi and his children Kaysen, Bella & Grey; his mother, Susan Kohler and her husband Tommy; his siblings Justin Bright and wife Suzanne, Parker Bright, Ginger Koons and husband Tommy, along with his nieces and nephews Madison and Ben Bright, Judge and June Koons. There are many other family members and friends who will forever mourn the loss of the man we knew and loved so dearly.
There will be a private family burial on Tuesday, February 15th, followed by a public memorial service at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship, 4141 International Parkway, Carrollton, TX, 75007, at 1pm. The family would also like to invite you to the Celebration of Life following the memorial service at The Lakes at Castle Hills at 5pm.
