James (Jim) Leo Stuart IV (50), born August 16, 1970, passed away Saturday, January 30, 2021 at his home in Boonville.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Donna Stuart.
He is survived by his father, James Stuart III; his wife, Michelle Stuart; step-daughters Madeline Howard and Morgan Howard; step-son Emory Howard; step-grandson Emmett Brasel; sister Elizabeth Stuart; and brother-in-law David Smith, all of Boonville.
Jim graduated from Boonville High School in 1988.
Jim was an extremely intelligent person and had extensive knowledge of many subjects. He experienced much in his life and he made an enormous impact in many other lives. Not a day went by that we didn’t learn something from Jim. He challenged us, he pushed us and he is the reason we succeed.
He will be missed every day. May he finally rest.

So sorry to hear about this. Jim was a good friend that shared my gift/disease of wildly obscure trivia.
He was a walking history book.
I will miss him and a random text in the middle of the night.
