Jonathan Michael Stewart

Jonathan Michael Stewart, 46, passed away on February 27, 2019 in Cypress Texas after a long fight against mental illness. He was the husband of Marcie Ann Stewart. They shared 22 wonderful years of married life together and had five beautiful daughters.

Born in Bountiful, Utah, Jon was the son of late Carl (Don) and Elizabeth Stewart. He was the fourth of five children. He graduated from Bountiful High School in 1991 and enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was a Corporal in the 25th Infantry Division and went on a humanitarian mission to Haiti. After his army career, he graduated from Salt Lake Community College with a degree in Welding Fabrication as well as an Associates of Science. He finished his college education at Utah State University and graduated with a Bachelor in Welding Engineering Technology. As a talented engineer, he was recruited to work for numerous prestigious corporations. He was employed at: Dresser-Rand (Olean, New York), Goodrich (Greenwood, South Carolina), General Electric (Schenectady, New York), Westinghouse (Newington, New Hampshire), SPX (Cypress, Texas), and Hunting (Sugarland, Texas). Jon loved his work and was well-liked and respected amongst his peers. One of his greatest professional accomplishments was bringing electron beam welding to nuclear international code.  He brought fun touches to the office like Hawaiian Shirt Friday and tried to never take life too seriously. Jon’s work and military experience allowed to him to live and travel both domestically and abroad. He experienced as much of the world as he could and always kept his adventurous heart.

Jon was a baptized and confirmed member of the Lutheran Church. He was a longtime member of the American Welding society and taught welding classes at various community colleges. The last year of his life, Jon enjoyed working with Cypress Lucky Mutts, saving the lives of nearly 30 foster dogs. He enjoyed watching fail compilations, MMA fights, baseball, and following politics. Jon loved relaxing in the garage and smoking a cigar, shooting BB guns, walking his dogs, hiking, the mountains, drinking a good beer, the color blue, Pearl Jam, and grilling meat. But above all, he loved his girls: Rachel Ann, Sarah Grace, Deborah Alice, Rebekah Jane, Megan Elli, and love of his life, Marcie Ann.
