Stuart was born September 4th, 1960 in Monroe, Washington; the last of six siblings. His siblings included Gordon, Kay, Susan, Nina, and Wayne. He was closest to his brother Wayne who was five years older and an all star athlete. Even though Stuart was ill as a young child, he too ended up playing and excelling in football, baseball, and basketball, but his love was tennis. Stuart was recognized as a great tennis player and he took pro lessons.
Stuart graduated from Ingraham High School and then he attended Seattle Central Community College where he enjoyed being elected Student Body Vice President, but left after Wayne died in a car accident at the age of 25.
Soon thereafter, Stuart learned carpentry and eventually set up his own business - Taylor Woodworking - where he remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, and built decks. Although Stuart was accomplished and loved his craft, he decided to pursue a career in computer technology after suffering from a couple of back injuries on the job. He earned an A.A. in Computer Networking at North Seattle Community College where his outstanding grades put him on the Dean's list and the Phi Theta Kappa honorary society.
Shortly thereafter, Stuart had a back fusion which failed to reduce his pain and left him unable to pursue a B.S. in Computer Networking to be employable.
Stuart loved all animals, especially our much loved cats and dogs, who instantly took to him. Even animals others didn't notice, like when we were walking and he would occasionally save a drowning worm.
He had an exceptional ability and understanding of mathematics and science. Stuart believed that there is life beyond Earth living in this universe. However, Stuart also believed in God, and I pray he is being watched over in Heaven.
