Richard A. Stewart Sr. “Big Rick” (1963-2024) departed us all prematurely after an untimely and tragic accident on July 24, 2024, while riding motorcycles with his beloved son Charlie.
Rick was and will always be known as a man’s man, a man of integrity and high moral standard. Whether in family, personal, or business, he was always known to stand tall. He was a self-employed entrepreneur the majority of his life, as well as a cook at multiple restaurants, alongside of his lifelong loving wife Nancy G. Stewart, whom he cherished and was crazy about. He was an amazing father and role model to his sons Richard A. Stewart Jr. “Bear” and Charlie A. Stewart “Punkin” who both cherished and adored every moment of life spent with him. He was also a perfect “paw paw” to his grandson Spencer Stewart, who he was crazy about. Not only was Big Rick a great husband, father and grandfather, he was also a great friend to his lifelong friend who he referred to as ” Brother Kevin Smith.
Big Rick is survived in life by his beloved wife Nancy G. Stewart, two cherished sons Richard Stewart, Jr. and Charles Stewart; sister Joni Stewart-Wright; brothers Tony Stewart and Ronnie Flayhardy; aunt Elaine; and fostered son Chris Alan. Big Rick is also survived by the streets and all who knew him as a whole.
Rick is preceded in death by grandmother Bertha Mae Ivie ” Grandma Bert”; father Charles Lewis Stewart; mother Patsy Robinson; and lifelong friend Mattison Stone.
He will forever be remembered, loved and missed by all of us and the lives he touched!
Simple Cremation Evansville is entrusted with his care.
