Roger Alva Stewart

Roger A. Stewart passed away on October 5, 2022, at the age of 67. He is survived by his loving wife Linda, daughter Madison, sons Alexander and Michael; siblings William Stewart, Nancy Snyder, Paul Stewart, and Donald Stewart; as well as a number of cousins, nieces, and nephews. Roger was born on December 19, 1954 in Baltimore, Maryland to parents William and Alva Stewart. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1976-1984, during which time he attended Nuclear Power School and served on the USS Pogy. He and Linda were married June 15, 1985. He worked at Dominion Energy for 35 years, first as an instrument technician and then as a senior instrumentation planner, retiring in 2019. Roger was a man of infinite generosity and a gentle, welcoming soul. He loved fishing, particularly at the beach, playing pool, golfing, and spending time outside enjoying the yard. In retirement, he took up gardening to perfect his outdoor space. He always had a passion for music as well, in particular classic rock. He was a wonderful husband and father, and father in spirit to many of his childrens’ friends. Everyone always knew his house was open and he was someone you could rely on for a smile, a hug, and a safe place to land. He will be sorely missed not only by his family, but by every person whose life he touched. The family will hold a memorial service on Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 2PM, located at Woody Funeral Home, Atlee Chapel (9271 Shady Grove Road, Mechanicsville, VA 23116.)
