John Stuart Alvis

He was preceded in death by his parents, James B. Alvis, Sr. and Hattie F. Alvis; siblings, James Bryan Alvis, Jr., Howard Alvis, Mary Jane Cannon, and Louise Vest; and stepson, John Duncan, Jr.

He is survived by his loving, devoted wife, Emma Burnett Alvis; sister, Barbara Ann Walton; daughter, Charlotte Harper (James); son, Paul Alvis (Belinda); stepson, Tim Duncan (Lynn); and stepdaughter-in-law, Suzanne Duncan; five grandchildren; and eight great grandchildren.

Stuart was a graduate of Fishburne Military School and served his country in the United States Army during the Korean War. After being discharged he became a Wholesale Distributer and in later life a Lawn Service Provider. Adhering to the description of a Mason, of which he was proud to be, he was a good man and citizen…decent, honest, trustworthy, hardworking, and charitable. He loved the Lord, family, friends, and his country. He was a long time member of Second Baptist Church serving in many capacities over the years.

The family would like to thank the staff at Sunrise Villa Tuckahoe for their loving care over these past four months.

Due to the current circumstances, burial with full military honors was private.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Second Baptist Church (Seniors’ Group), 9614 River Road, Richmond, VA 23229.
