Jack M Stewart Jr

Jack M. Stewart Jr., of Hermiston, Oregon was born on March 23, 1958 in Hermiston, Oregon to Jack Sr. and Shirley Stewart.  He died, unexpectedly, at home on November 16th, 2020 at the age of 62.  At Jack’s request, there will be no services. A private burial was held on November 21, 2020.  Jack was raised in Hermiston, Phoenix, AZ and Yakima, WA.  He worked in the grocery business, in Yakima and Omak, WA with his father in his teens and early twenties and then in Pilot Rock. In 1983 he became a reserve deputy. His dream since childhood was to be a "cop". That dream came to fruition in 1986 when he became a deputy for Umatilla County.  He proudly served our community for 25 years and retired in December of 2011.  He made many friends from all walks of life during his career.  

Jack loved to listen to and make music when the opportunity arose. Jack was devoted to Jesus Christ and loved studying the Bible and sharing his faith with family and friends. His family was most important to him.  Never a day would pass that he didn’t let one know they were loved.

Jack is survived by daughters Cacey (Justin ) Knight, Goodyear, AZ and Jeni (Caleb) Paris, Hermiston, OR., sister Debbie (Ron) Myers, Hermiston, OR, stepbrother Bill (Angie) Bernard, Roseville, CA., 6 beautiful granddaughters: Peyton, Hope, LeeAnne, Bailey, Aviana, and Skye Lynn, Uncle Tom Stewart, Aunt Elaine Clark and numerous loving nieces, nephews and cousins.
