Tommy Ellis Stewart, 73, transitioned peacefully from his Baton Rouge home to his heavenly home on December 17, 2020. A Denham Springs native and a devout Christian, he served for many years as a Baptist Deacon and was passionate about visiting all sick, homebound and hospitalized church members. He was a Vietnam veteran who loved his family, bass fishing, football, baseball and basketball. He was an avid fan of the N.O. Saints and the LSU Tigers. He was a past member of the Masters Bass Club and Sunrisers Kiwanis in Denham Springs. Tommy was an amazing man: gentle, kind and compassionate. He was loved by all who knew him. He was a faithful and devoted husband who is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Wanda Stewart; his three children, Shawn, Mark and Amy Stewart; his sister Janice Honeycutt; grandchildren Elizabeth and Madeline Stewart; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews; several special aunts and uncles; two sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law as well as numerous friends. A member of Jefferson Baptist church, he requests that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to his church or to the charity of your choice. A memorial service for Tommy will be held at Jefferson Baptist Church on Saturday, December 4, 2021. Visitation starts at 10:00 am, and the service will follow at noon.
