Chuck Stewart

After a life well lived and well loved, Charles D. (Chuck) Stewart passed away peacefully at his home in Monteview, surrounded by family, on May 23, 2017. He was born June 1, 1954 to Helen and Charles Stewart of Idaho Falls.

Chuck attended grade school at Holy Rosary Catholic School and graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 1972. After graduating, he moved to the Monteview area where he farmed, raised cattle and sheep, and bought wool for Pendleton Woolen Mills. He married the love of his life–Susan on September 9, 1977. Together they raised three rowdy boys and one "fluffy" girl. Chuck loved the Monteview area, hunting, fishing, all kinds of history, Boise State games, his children, grandchildren, and friends. He especially loved to be with his family and friends up Birch Creek.

Chuck is survived by his wife Susan of 39 years, his sons, Brandon Stewart of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Jacob (Kortni) Stewart of Monteview, ID, Benjamin (Susana) Stewart of Idaho Falls, ID, daughter, Candace (Rob) Cope of Monteview, ID, and sisters Helen C.
